The Power of Writing & Scripting in Islam

Why does Allah swear by the pen? It's actually one of the first three of His creations. He created his throne, water, and the pen before he created anything else. Can you just pause for a second and absorb this? How can you ever look at a pen in the same way?

He then wrote everything that was to happen into existence with this pen. Every possibility of every moment in every realm (so your success and failure are both written as possibilities). All of this is stored in al-Lawh al-Mahfuz, which some would refer to as the Akashic Records. What does this teach us? The pen itself, when used with a level of God-consciousness, can take us through quantum fields. 

My Reiki master taught me a technique that I pass on to my clients: we write our intentions between states of hypnosis and when you're writing, you're still in a semi-hypnotic state. I wish I studied this beforehand so I could have taken advantage of this technique even more than I did back then.

Now let's go even deeper. The 'nun' at the start is quite literally the letter 'n' in Arabic. We see this in the Qur'an, where some verses start with letters. These aren't random. They're Divinely selected. Amin's interpretation of what the 'n' stands for blew my mind.

A phrase that's repeatedly mentioned in the Qur'an is 'kun faya kun', which means 'be and so it is'. It describes how Allah can immediately bring His intentions into existence. In Arabic, kun is literally spelt 'kn'/كُنْ.

Why the n/ن at the start of the chapter? Only God really knows for sure, but according to this interpretation, it represents the manifestation of an intention.

Let's break it down letter by letter:

كُنْ/kn (pronounced: kun) = the full word, which translates to 'be'

ك/k is the first letter. This letter represents the intention

ن/n is the second letter. This letter represents the manifestation.

So the 'k' is step one, which is setting an intention in the metaphysical, and the 'n' is step two, which is the intention materialising into matter.

So, going back to Surat al-Qalam, it starts with 'n/ن', which indicates that writing is a technique for bringing an intention or prayer into existence. In essence, Allah gifted the pen as a means of accessing the portal of possibilities.

Does this mean writing replaces prayer? Absolutely not. What it does mean, however, is just as we need to be intentional with our thoughts and what we think of God, we need to be intentional with what we write, think and speak into existence.

Neuroscience teaches us that when you put pen to paper, you awaken the reticular activating system (RAS), the internal gatekeeper that decides what’s worth noticing and remembering. In that moment, your brain gets the message: “This is important, don’t underestimate it”, and this fleeting wish becomes a literal priority for your brain.

When you write affirmations, intentions, or reflections, you’re strengthening synaptic connections that shape your chosen identity and beliefs. The brain wires itself through repetition and emotional charge, responding to what you focus on with feeling. So when you repeatedly write what you want, you’re literally training your neural circuits to embody that truth. Over time, those words shift from something you practice into something you become. So this means you're less likely to self-sabotage when Allah delivers it to you because your neuropathways have accepted this reality and feel safe in it.

Scripting also helps you see how what you want will fit into your life in a more holistic sense. It also points out your limiting beliefs and what you need to work on, along with gaps in your faith in what you think God can give you. The limitations aren't real, but your belief in them brings them to life.

In a Hadith Qudsi, Allah directly told the beloved Prophet Mohammed: I am according to My servant's conviction of Me”, also translated as 'I am what my servant thinks of Me". What you think and believe on a deep subconscious level, God will mirror for you in your reality. The more you understand the gaps in your faith, the easier it is for you to sit in acceptance and jump over them to live the life of your dreams. It's all subconscious, which is why I love doing what I do.

How do we use the pen to script?

The principles of the Law of Attraction and the Law of Assumption say we do this by affirming and assuming what we have is in our reality already. So we do this by writing what we have in the present tense.

Now, to align with the frequency of what you want, you need the magic touch of emotion. So, what I do before scripting is I tap into my heart centre and really go into that reality of what I want to manifest. I really feel the feelings and magnify them by 10, then 100, then 1,000 and then 1,000,000. Once I'm in that state, I write everything, all the details as if it's a diary entry in the present tense of the future I'm getting to. It feels so exciting and real.

Other times, I write a sentence repeatedly so it can penetrate my subconscious. I love doing this when I'm low on time and want to write repetitively to support my inner work and ground it with purpose. There are many methods, like the 3-6-9 scripting method, 5x55, 3x33, 4x44, etc. But you do what feels best to you.

In a group setting, you can either feed off each other's excitement and joy to script (be careful who you do this sacred work with and be very mindful of protecting your energy as you share it, making sure you're all connected to God), or you can get a facilitator to support you through Reiki or hypnosis.

What about resistance?

Once I feel that twang of resistance, that's when I know to stop, underline and work with it, understanding why I feel the way I do about something. This really helps me learn more about myself. The best thing is that, because I'm trained in this beautiful, mystical work, I can go very deep. I also do this for others when they request it!

In a group setting, when resistance arises, it's a great opportunity to discuss it and seek support.

When this happens with my clients, I let them speak, we clear the energy, do some EFT tapping, or find the root cause of the limiting belief and heal as much of it as we can on the spot. Sometimes, the session digresses into a clearing one, and that's fine because it's an investment. The less resistance, the less persistence of what we don't want in life.

Other times, people resist writing because they fear any purges or worst-case scenarios will manifest. This is why we need to be clear with our intention when we write. Is it to purge and clear your mind, or is it to script? Knowing God is all-loving and he won't bring something into your life because you're writing an angry diary entry is key.

Scripting has its own intention, and you need to tap into it. Sometimes, I write 'purge' at the top of the page so I know, but that's not always needed. Writing is a multipurpose gift from God, and we use our intention to guide us through what we get out of it.

Does writing your goals down still feel the same?

Big love to you all.
