ن ۚ وَالْقَلَمِ وَمَا يَسْطُرُونَ

Nun. By the Pen and the (Record) which (men) write,- ⁽¹⁾

Tafsir

‘By the pen, and all that they write’ refers to historical record. In historical records of human memoirs accumulated and preserved in the shape of history, the Quran is an exceptional book and the bearer of that book an exceptional personality. This quality of being exceptional cannot be explained unless the Quran is accepted as the book of God and Muhammad as His Prophet.
