2. This tells us that the writings of certain special servants are beloved to Allah Almighty, as He has taken an oath on them. Says Allah Almighty: "By the Pen and by that which they (angels) write"(S68:V1). The verdicts (Fataawa) of the Islamic scholars, the Na'atiyah oems and the compositions of these poets, the texts of the Holy Qur'aan and Ahadith, their Commentaries, are all included in this. Or, it could signify the recordings of the angels, i.e. the books of deeds of people, the angel who is the writer of Fate, or the writing on the Divine Tablet, or the Tauraat, or the Injeel, or the writing of the Holy Qur'aan. Thus, the interpretation of writing should be made in details like this.
