Abstract
In the present commercial world, despite a variety of communication skills and means of expression available, the writing has the uppermost priority. It dominates in clarity with lowest degree of misperceptions and disputing. The civilized world adopts the same for its ease and being less tainted with risks of disputes at the later stages of recovery in the future. The importance of writing especially the commercial deeds and transactions of future debts and obligations has its roots in pre-historic era. However, the history of writing including the writing of commercial and future obligations is quite interesting. It is evident that trades, wars and other communications between civilizations played vital roles in exchanges and developments.
Maritime commerce and trade also played vital role in development of civilizations and elevating the human in society in the world. The Mediterranean region during medieval periods played a significant role in law making and writing of commercial transactions. However, these practices were customary in Levant and Arab Peninsula several hundred years before. Al-Qur’ān, in the early 6th Century AD, directed the believers to adopt writing of commercial and future obligations by an expert scribe and witnessed. In the current paper, an attempt has been made to highlight the importance and background of writing of the future obligations.
