Instructions to the Writer


"Oh writer! An Angel watches over all you write. Make your writing meaningful for it will eventually return to you and you will be questioned about what you wrote."
COMMENTARY: This is a piece of warning to the layman, writers, and journalists that they should watch over their pen and be careful of what they write with it. They way the tongue letters words and the person is held responsible for them, similarly the writing by the pen is called the words uttered by the tongue of the pen. One should never debase knowledgeable people, nor should one commit slander, nor propogate crimes and evils with the pen, such as we find in many newspapers and journals. And also we see that provocative advertisement of films and commercial products are printed in the newspapers. This is called Fahasee (lewdness). All such people feed their stomachs with the Fire of Hell, and they shall suffer painful doom and chastisement in the Hereafter because of the evil they propagated to millions. As long as that evil is in circulation and is followed by the masses, they will be responsible. At the same time many ignorant Mullahs write kalams on Islam, the Holy Qur'an, Hadiths, and morality in the same pages which have been polluted with highly objectionable writings and pictures. They can be compared with a person trying to was garments with polluted waters.
