Raqeem, what the Nabateans called their city. ‘Petra’ (Greek name for it), the capital of Edom.

Raqim is Noun and Raqeem is its product. It can be said that Raqim is a writer and Raqeem is the book or a transcript or that writing he writes. The writing of Raqim can’t be ignored coz he does not write to write only but to write for a reason. If we move more deep,it can be calculated that he is like a lawyer in favour of human against God. He argues with God to prove that human creation is the most unsatisfactory and injusticed creation. its the best Raqeem of Raqim so far. Anyways name Raqim holds the power of writing which makes it different than any other word connected with writing.
