    • The verdicts (Fataawa) of Islamic scholars.

    • The Na'atiyah poems and compositions of poets praising the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him).

    • The texts of the Holy Qur'an and Ahadith, along with their commentaries.

    • The records kept by angels, including the books of deeds of individuals and the writing of divine fate.

    • The earlier scriptures like the Tauraat (Torah), Injeel (Gospel), or even the Divine Tablet.

  • This verse highlights the significance of writing, especially when it carries divine or prophetic authority, and the high value Allah places on these records.
