The Story of Prophet Jonah ( Yunus ) A.S

 

 Prophet Jonah ( Yunus ) A.S

Prophet Jonah (Yunus) (pbuh) also known as Dhan-Nun. About his people Almighty Allah said Was there any city community that believed after seeing the discipline, and its Faith at that moment, saved it from the discipline? (the answer is none)-- except the people of Jonah; when they believed, We removed from them the torment of disgrace in the life of the present world, and permitted them to enjoy for a while. (Ch 1098 Quran)

                                                Prophet Yunus A.S

The occupants of the city of Nineveh were heathens who lived a shameless life. Prophet Jonah (pbuh) was transferred to educate them the deification of Allah. The people disliked his hindrance in their way of deification, so they argued. "We and our fathers have worshipped these gods for numerous times and no detriment has come to us."

Try as he might to move them of the foolishness of deification and of the virtuousness of Allah's laws, the ignored him. He advised them that if they kept on with their foolishness, Allah's discipline would soon follow. Rather of stewing Allah, they told Jonah that they weren't hysterical of his pitfalls." Let it be, "they told him. Jonah was demoralized. "in that case, I'll leave you to your misery!" so saying, he left Nineveh, stewing that Allah's wrathfulness would soon follow. Remember Dhan Nun (Jonah), when he went off in wrathfulness, and imagined that We shall not discipline him (the disasters which had chanced him)! (ch 2187)

.

Hardly had he left the megacity when the skies began to change color and looked as if they were on fire. The people were filled with fear by this sight. They recalled the destruction of the people of' Announcement, Thamud and Noah. Was theirs to be a analogous fate? Sluggishly faith entered their hearts. They all gathered on the mountain and started to solicit Allah for His mercy and remission. The mountains echoed with their cries. It was a momentous hour, filled with sincere penitence.

Allah removed His wrath and poured His blessings upon them formerly again. When the hanging storm was lifted, they supplicated for the return of Jonah so that he could guide them.

Meanwhile, Jonah had boarded a small boat in the company of other passengers. It sailed all day in calm waters with a good wind blowing at the cruises. When night came, the ocean suddenly changed. A horrible storm blew as if it were going to resolve the boat into pieces. The swells looked wild. They rose up as high as mountains also plunged down like denes, tossing the boat and sweeping over the sundeck.

Behind the boat, a large Goliath was unyoking the water and opening its mouth. A command had been issued from Almighty Allah to one of the topmost jumbos of the ocean to face. It adhered. The Goliath hastened to the face of the ocean and followed the boat as it had been commanded.

The tempest continued and the principal crewman asked the crew to lighten the boat's heavy cargo. They threw their baggage overboard, but this wasn't enough. Their safety lay in reducing the weight further, so they decided among themselves to lighten their cargo by removing at least one person.

The captain directed We'll make lots with all of the trippers' names. The one whose name is drawn will be thrown into the ocean. "Jonah knew this was one of the navigator's traditions when facing a tempest. It was a strange polytheistic tradition, but it was rehearsed at that time. Jonah's affliction and extremity began.

Then was the prophet, subordinated to polytheistic rules that considered the ocean and the wind to have gods that hoot. The captain had to please these gods. Jonah reluctantly shared in the lot, and his name was added to the other trippers' names. The lot was drawn and "Jonah" appeared.

Since they knew him to be the most honorable among them, they didn't wish to throw him into the angry ocean. Thus, they decided to draw a alternate lot. Again Jonah's name was drawn. They gave him a final chance and drew a third lot. Unfortunately for Jonah, his name came up again.

Jonah realized that Allah's hand was in all this, for he'd abandoned his charge without Allah's concurrence. The matter was over, and it was decided that Jonah should throw himself into the water. Jonah stood at the edge of the boat looking at the furious ocean. It was night and there was no moon. The stars were hidden behind a black fog. But before he could be thrown overboard, Jonah kept mentioning Allah's name as he jumped into the raging ocean and faded beneath the huge swells.

The Goliath plant Jonah floating on the swells before it. It swallowed Jonah into its furious stomach and shut its ivory teeth on him as if they were white bolts locking the door of his captivity. The Goliath dived to the bottom of the ocean, the ocean that runs in the ocean of darkness.

Three layers of darkness enveloped him, one above the other; the darkness of the Goliath's stomach, the darkness of the bottom of the ocean, the darkness of the night. Jonah imaged himself to be dead, but his senses came alert when he plant he could move. He knew that he was alive and locked in the midst of three layers of darkness. His heart was moved by remembering Allah. His lingo released soon after saying La ilaha illa Anta (none has the right to be worshipped but You (O Allah), Glorified (and Exalted) be You ( over all that wrong they associate with You), Truly, I've been of the wrong doers." (Ch 2187 Quran)

Jonah continued soliciting to Allah, repeating this incantation. Fishes, jumbos, seaweeds, and all the brutes that lived in the ocean heard the voice of Jonah soliciting, heard the festivity of Allah's praises issuing from the Goliath's stomach. All these brutes gathered around the Goliath and began to celebrate the praises of Allah in their turn, each in its own way and in its own language.

The Goliath also shared in celebrating the praises of Allah and understood that it had swallowed a prophet. Thus it felt hysterical; still, it said to itself; "Why should I be hysterical? Allah commanded me to swallow him."

Allah Almighty saw the sincere penitence of Jonah and heard his incantation in the Goliath's stomach. Allah commanded the Goliath to face and eject Jonah onto an islet. The Goliath adhered and swam to the furthest side of the ocean. Allah commanded it to rise towards the warm, stimulating sun and the affable earth.

The Goliath ejected Jonah onto a remote islet. His body was inflamed because of the acids inside the Goliath's stomach. He was ill, and when the sun rose, its shaft burned his lit body so that he was on the verge of screaming for the pain. Still, he endured the pain and continued to repeat his incantation to Allah.

Almighty Allah caused a vine to grow to considerable length over him for protection. Also Allah Exalted caused Jonah to recover and forgave him. Allah told Jonah that if it hadn't been for his soliciting to Him, he'd have stayed in the Goliath's stomach till the Day of Judgment.

Almighty Allah reported And, verily, Jonah was one of the Couriers. When he ran to the laden boat, he agreed to cast lots and he was among the disasters, Also a big fish swallowed him and he'd done an act good of blame. Had he not been of them who glorify Allah, he'd have indeed remained inside its belly (the fish) till the Day of Rejuvenation. But We cast him forth on the naked reinforcement while he was sick and We caused a factory of gourd to grow over him. And We transferred him to a hundred thousand people or indeed more, and they believed; so We gave them enjoyment for a while. (Ch 37139-148 Quran).

Gradationally he recaptured his strength and plant his way to his birthplace, Nineveh. He was pleasantly surprised to notice the change that had taken place there. The entire population turned out to drink him. They informed him that they had turned to believe in Allah. Together they led a prayer of thanksgiving to their Merciful Lord.

Ibn Abbas recited "The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said 'One shouldn't say I'm better than Jonah Ibn Matta.'" (Sahih Bukhari).

THE STORY OF PROPHET SULAIMAN (PBUH)

             THE STORY OF PROPHET SULAIMAN (PBUH)

Sulaiman was the son of Prophet Dawud (David). Dawud was the wise King of Israel and a noble Prophet of Allah (SWT). Sulaiman learnt from his father’s vast knowledge and judgement and frequently joined his father during sounds. He was an bystander and learned from him and sometimes contributed to the discussion.

One day Prophet Dawud called his 19 sons in front of the chiefs and academic scholars of his area. He also put forth the following questions

1. Which thing is closest (nearest) to man?

2. Which is the furthest thing?

3. Which two effects are attached to each other?

4. Which is the utmost admiration-creating thing?

5. Which two effects remain unchanged?

6. Which two effects are always different?

7. Which two effects are opposed to each other?

8. What's the action the result of which is good?

9. What's that action the result of which is bad?

The sons of Prophet Dawud came flustered and could n’t answer these questions. The youthful of the sons, Sulaiman stood up and gave the following answers

.

1. The nearest effects to a man is the hereafter ( Life and Death – as one may die any moment);

2. The furthest effects is the time which has passed away (which isn't to come again);

3. The two effects that are attached to each other is man’s body with the soul;

4. The utmost admiration-creating is the man’s body ( dead) without soul;

5. The two effects which remain the same are the sky and the earth;

6. The two effects which are different are the day and night;

7. The two effects which are opposed to each other are life and death;

8. The action – the end of which is good – is tolerance and forbearance at the time of wrathfulness;

9. The action – the end of which is bad is haste at the time of wrathfulness.

Impressed by these answers Prophet Dawud appointed his son Sulaiman to take charge following his death. So, with the end of time Sulaiman inherited the area of Israel and was tagged by Allah to continue his Prophethood. He solicited his Lord for a area that would do to none after him. Allah granted Sulaiman his want and bestowed upon him numerous cautions, like the capability to control the wind which he used to travel at inconceivable pets; the jinns which were under his command and a bobby mine with which he used to make artillery. He was indeed blessed with the capability to communicate with creatures. The Quran makes citation of this

Prophet Sulaiman and his legion of men, jinns and catcalls, “ came upon the vale of the ants, an ant said, “ O ants, enter your residences that you not be crushed by Sulaiman and his dogfaces while they perceive not.” So (Solomon) smiled, regaled at her speech, and said, “ My Lord, enable me to be thankful for Your favor which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents and to do righteousness of which You authorize. And admit me by Your mercy into (the species of) Your righteous retainers.” Surah Naml Ayat 18-19

In his charge as a Prophet of Allah, Sulaiman erected a prominent place of deification — the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. From there Sulaiman and his followers made passage to Makkah. On completion of their Hajj, they travelled to Yemen where Sulaiman witnessed the Yemeni’s inconceivable water channelizing medium. He asked to replicate this system in his own land, but knew that they had inadequate springs. Determined to find a way, Sulaiman set about looking for the Hoopoe raspberry, which had the capability to descry water resistance. But the raspberry was nowhere in sight. Sulaiman who grew decreasingly intolerant blatted, “ Why do I not see the Hoopoe raspberry – or is he among the absent? I'll surely discipline him with a severe torment, or butcher him, unless he brings me a clear reason!

Ahead long, the Hoopoe returned to his master with great news. But the hoopoe stayed not long and said, “ I've encompassed (in knowledge) that which you haven't encompassed, and I've come to you from Sheba with certain news. Indeed, I plant (there) a woman ruling them, and she has been given of all effects, and she has a great throne. I plant her and her people prostrating to the sun rather of Allah, and Satan has made their deeds pleasing to them and prevented them from (His) way, so they aren't guided, (And) so they don't prostrate to Allah, who brings forth what's hidden within the welkin and the earth and knows what you conceal and what you declare-Allah – there's no deity except Him, Lord of the Great Throne.” Surah Naml Ayat 22-26

Prophet Sulaiman said, “ We'll see whether you were veracious or were of the prevaricators. Take this letter of mine and deliver it to them. Also leave them and see what ( answer) they will return.” Surah Naml Ayat 27-28

The Hoopoe raspberry flew back to Belkis's palace and dropped Sulaiman’s letter before her. He soon hid and watched what happed. Having noticed the letter, Bilkis began reading it, “ Verily! It's from Solomon. It reads ‘In the Name of Allah, the Utmost Beneficent, the Utmost Merciful; be you not exalted against me, but come to me as Muslims.”

Bilkis incontinently summoned her chiefs and sought their advice. They replied, “ We've great strength, and great capability for war, but it's for you to command; so suppose over what you'll command.” Bilkis, still, wasn't in favour of war as they were ignorant of the size of Sulaiman’s army. She answered, “ Verily! Lords, when they enter a city, they pillage it, and make the most honourable amongst its people low.” She decided, as a commemorative of fellowship, to shoot Sulaiman some precious gifts through her couriers, who could also bring back information about Sulaiman’s army.

Sulaiman incontinently learnt of Bilkis’s response through the Hoopoe. He decided to display the muscle of his army to her couriers. When the couriers arrived, all of Sulaiman’s army complete with creatures, similar as Napoleons and barracuda, catcalls, men and jinn, gathered before them. Bilkis’s couriers were indeed stunned by the size and variety of Sulaiman’s legion. His inimitable strength was prestigious.

The couriers eagerly presented Bilkis’s gift to Sulaiman with a pledge of fellowship. Sulaiman replied, “ Will you help me in wealth? What Allah has given me is better than that which He has given you! Nay, you rejoice in your gift!” Sulaiman also turned to the chief of her couriers and instructed “ Go back to them. We verily shall come to them with hosts that they can not repel, and we shall drive them out from there in disgrace, and they will be abased.” Shocked, the couriers soon returned to their Queen and conveyed Sulaiman’s communication together with an account of the nobility of Sulaiman’s area.

Bilkis decided to meet Sulaiman in person, together with her officers. On entering this news, Sulaiman decided to show Bilkis and her officers the power of the cautions bestowed to him by Allah. He asked his army, “ Which of you can bring me Bilkis’s throne before they come to me, surrendering themselves in obedience?” Ifrit, one of the important jinns, incontinently responded to Prophet Sulaiman, “ I'll bring it to you before you rise from your place. And verily, I'm indeed strong and secure for similar work.” (2730)

But Sulaiman remained silent, awaiting a better offer. Another jinn with knowledge of the Good Book spoke up, “ I'll bring it to you before your regard returns to you.” And when (Solomon) saw it placed before him, he said, “ This is from the favor of my Lord to test me whether I'll be thankful or ungrateful. And whoever is thankful – his gratefulness is only for (the benefit of) himself. And whoever is ungrateful – also indeed, my Lord is Free of need and Generous.” (2740)

“ I'll bring it to you within the shake of an eye!” And in a split second the throne of Bilkis was brought from across country miles to Prophet Sulaiman. Sulaiman himself was amazed by the phenomenon Allah had given him and praised his Lord immensely. Sulaiman also instructed the jinn, “ Disguise for her her throne; we will see whether she'll be guided (to verity) or will be of those who isn't guided.” (2741) He also ordered the jinns to make a palace with bottoms made of thin but solid glass, under through which gutters flowed.

When Bilkis arrived, her throne incontinently caught her attention. Having noticed Bilkis’s response to the throne, Sulaiman asked, “ is your throne like this?” Bilkis was completely confused. She wondered if her throne actually got then or if it was possible that someone replicated it. She replied cautiously, “ it is as though it was the veritably same.” Sulaiman judged her to be intelligent and politic so he also invited her to his palace. When Bilkis was about to enter she mistook the glass bottom for water and lifted her skirts. In the Quran it says, “ she allowed it was a body of water and uncovered her pins (to wade through). He said, “ Indeed, it's a palace (whose bottom is) made smooth with glass.” She said, “ My Lord, indeed I've wronged myself, and I submit with Solomon to Allah, Lord of the worlds.” (2744)

Bilkis realized that Sulaiman’s area was indeed unlike any palace she had seen ahead. She witnessed his wisdom and modesty along with his potent power and accepted him as the runner of Allah. She lamented and embraced Islam along with her nation.

PROPHET SULAIMAN ’S DEATH

Prophet Sulaiman lived and reigned in glory. Important of his public work was performed by the jinns as a discipline for making people believe that jinns had knowledge of the unseen. Sulaiman tutored his people that Allah alone had similar knowledge. Indeed Prophet Sulaiman’s death was a assignment in this regard.

The future isn't known neither by the jinns nor by the prophets, but by Allah alone.

Sulaiman was seated, holding his staff, while he oversee some jinns working in a mine. The jinns, who were scarified of Sulaiman, were heavily concentrated on the structure when Allah decided to take Sulaiman’s life.

No bone was apprehensive of his death, until days latterly, a empty ant began nibbling on his rustic staff. As it ate on, the staff broke and Prophet Sulaiman’s body that was leaning on it fell to the bottom. People ran to their Prophet, and soon realized that he'd failed long agone. Therefore everyone learned that had the jinns held the knowledge of the unseen, they would n’t have tortured themselves working hard, allowing Sulaiman was watching them. The life and death of Sulaiman is indeed full of cautions from which humanity can decide inconceivable assignments.

“ And when We ordered for Solomon death, nothing indicated to the jinn his death except a critter of the earth eating his staff. But when he fell, it came clear to the jinn that if they had known the unseen, they would not have remained in humiliating discipline.” (3414)

The story of Prophet Musa A.S (Moses) & Prophet Harun A.S (Aarun)

 Prophet Musa A.S (Moses) & Prophet Harun A.S (Aarun)

The Caesar who ruled Egypt was a dictator who oppressed the descendants of Jacob (pbuh), known as the children of Israel (Bani Israel). He used every means to demean and disgrace them. They were kept in thrall and forced to work for him for small stipend or nothing. Under this system the people adhered and worshipped the Caesar, and the ruling class carried out his orders, thereby authorizing his despotism and crazy vagrancies.

The Caesar wanted the people to observe him only, and to believe in the gods of his invention. Maybe, during that time, there were numerous classes of people who didn't believe in or practice secularism; still, they kept this to themselves and outwardly did as they were anticipated to do, without revolting or revealing themselves to anyone.

Therefore, consecutive dynasties came to Egypt and assumed that they were gods or their representative or prophets.

Times passed, and a despotic king, who was adored by the Egyptians, ruled Egypt. His king saw the children of Israel multiplying and prospering. He heard them talking about a vague vision that one of Israel's sons would uncrown the Caesar of Egypt. Maybe this vision was only a dream that persisted within the hearts of the bedeviled nonage, or maybe it was a vaticnation from their books.

Another tradition states that it was Pharaoh himself who had the vision. Ibn'Abbas recited "Pharaoh saw in his vision a fire, which came from Jerusalem and burned the houses of the Egyptians, and all Copts, and didn't do detriment to the children of Israel. When he woke up, he was affrighted. He also gathered his preachers and magicians and asked them about this vision. They said "This means a boy will be born of them and the Egyptian people will corrupt at his hands. 'That's why Pharaoh commanded that all manly children of the children of Israel be killed."

Either way, this vision reached the cognizance of the Pharaoh. He also issued a decree to slay any manly child that would be born to the children of Israel. This was carried out until the experts of economics said to Pharaoh "The aged of the children of Israel die and the youthful are massacred. This will lead to their obliteration. As a result, Pharaoh will lose the force of those who work for him, those whom he enslaves, and their women whom he exploits. It's better to regulate this procedure by initiating the following policy males should be massacred in one time but spared to live the coming time. "Pharaoh plant that result to be safer economically.

Moses's mama was pregnant with Aaron (pbuh) in a time that boys were spared; therefore she gave birth to the child intimately and safely. During a time in which boys were to be taken, she gave birth to Moses (pbuh); therefore his birth caused her important terror. She was hysterical he'd be taken, so she nursed him intimately.

Allah the Almighty revealed These are Verses of the manifest Book (that makes clear verity from falsehood, good from wrong, etc.). We recite to you some of the news of Moses and Pharaoh in verity, for a people who believe (those who believe in this Quran, and in the Oneness of Allah). Verily, Pharaoh exalted himself in the land and made its people sets, weakening ( oppressing) a group ( children of Israel) among them, killing their sons, and letting their ladies live. Verily, he was of the Mufsideen (those who commit great sins and crimes, tyrants, tyrannizers, etc.).

And we wished to do a favor to those who were weak (and oppressed) in the land, and to make them autocrats and to make them the legatees, and to establish them in the land, and We let Pharaoh and Haman and their hosts admit from them that which they stressed. And We inspired the mama of Moses, saying" Nurse him (Moses), but when you sweat for him, also cast him into the swash and sweat not, nor suffer. Verily! We shall bring him back to you, and shall make him one of (Our) Couriers." (Ch 28 2-7 Quran).

No sooner had the godly disclosure finished that she adhered the sacred and merciful call. She was commanded to make a handbasket for Moses. She nursed him, put him into the handbasket, also went to the reinforcement of the Nile and threw it into the water. Her mama's heart, the most merciful bone in the world, suffered as she threw her son into the Nile. Still, she was apprehensive that Allah was much more merciful to Moses than to her, that He loved him further than her. Allah was his Lord and the Lord of the Nile.

Hardly had the handbasket touched the water of the Nile than Allah issued His command to the swells to be calm and gentle while carrying the child would one day be a prophet. She instructed her son to follow the course of the handbasket and to report back to her. As the son followed the floating handbasket along the beachfront, she plant herself right in the palace grounds and saw what was unfolding before her eyes.

The handbasket came to rest at the beachfront, which skirted the king's palace. The palace retainers plant the handbasket with the baby and took it

to the Pharaoh and his queen. When the queen sighted the lovely child, Allah inseminated in her a strong love for this baby. Pharaoh's woman was veritably different from Pharaoh. He was a questioner; she was a religionist. He was cruel; she was merciful. He was a dictator; she was delicate and softhearted. She was sad because she was infertile and had hoped to have a son. Hardly had she held the baby than she kissed him.

Pharaoh was important amazed when he saw his woman hugging this baby to her bone. He was important astonished because his woman was weeping with joy, commodity he'd Norway seen her do ahead. She requested her hubby" Let me keep the baby and let him be a son to us."

Almighty Allah said; Also the ménage of Pharaoh picked him up, that he might come for them an adversary and a cause of grief. Verily! Pharaoh, Haman, and their hosts were wrongdoers. And the woman of Pharaoh said; "A comfort of the eye for me and for you. Kill him not, maybe he perhaps of a benefit to us, or we may borrow him as a son. "And they perceived not (the result of that). (Ch 289 Quran)

The queen summoned a many wet nursers to nurse the baby Moses, but he'd not take any of their guts. The queen was worried and transferred for further wet nursers. Moses's family was also upset, as her baby family was without milk for a long time. Seeing the queen's anxiety, she blurted that she knew jut the mama who would nurse the child affectionately. They asked her why she was following the floating handbasket. She said she did so out of curiosity. Her reason sounded reasonable, so they believed her. They ordered her to rush and cost the woman she was talking about. Her mama also was staying with a heavy heart, upset about the fate of her baby. Just also her son rushed in with the good news. Her heart lifted and she lost no time in reaching the palace.

Allah the Almighty recited And the heart of the mama of Moses came empty (from every study, except the study of Moses). She was veritably near to expose his (case, the child is her son), had We not strengthened her heart (with Faith), so that she might remain as one of the religionists. And she said to his (Moses's) family" Follow him." So she (his family) watched him from a far place intimately, while they perceived not.

And We had formerly interdicted ( other) foster suckling maters for him, until she (his family came up and) said "Shall I direct you to a ménage who'll rear him for you, and unfeignedly they will look after him in a good manner?"

.

So did We restore him to his mama, that she might be pleased, and that she might not suffer, nor that she might know that the pledge of Allah is true. But utmost of them know not. (Ch 2810-13 Quran)

As the child was put to her bone, he incontinently started suckling. Pharaoh was astonished and asked; "Who are you? This child has refused to take any other bone but yours."

Had she told the verity, Pharaoh would have known that the child was an Israelite and would have killed Moses incontinently. Still, Allah gave her inner strength and she replied "I'm a woman of sweet milk and sweet smell, and no child refuses me. "This answer satisfied Pharaoh.

Forward, she was appointed as Moses's wet nanny. She continued to bone- feed him for a long time. When he was bigger and was weaned, she was allowed the honor of visiting him. Moses was raised in the palace as a Napoleon.

And when he attained his full strength, and was perfect (in masculinity), We bestowed on him Hukman

(Prophethood, right judgment of the affairs) and religious knowledge (of the religion of his fathers, Islamic Deism). And therefore do We award the Muhsineen ( good-doers)." (Ch 2814 Quran)

Allah had granted Moses (pbuh) good health, strength, knowledge, and wisdom. The weak and tyrannized turned to him for protection and justice.

One day in the main megacity, he saw two men fighting. One was an Israelite, who was being beaten by the other, an Egyptian. On seeing Moses, the Israelite prayed him for help. Moses came involved in the disagreement and, in a state of wrathfulness, struck a heavy blow on the Egyptian, who failed on the spot. Upon realizing that he'd killed a mortal being, Moses's heart was filled with deep anguish, and incontinently he prayed Allah for remission.

He hadn't intended to kill the man. He contended with Almighty Allah to forgive him, and he felt a sense of peace filling his total being. Later Moses began to show further tolerance and sympathy towards people.

The coming day he saw the same Israelite involved in another fight. Moses went to him and said "You feel to be a quarrelsome fellow. You have a new quarrel with one person or another each day." Stewing that Moses might strike him, the Israelite advised Moses "Would you kill me as you killed the wretch history?"

.

The Egyptian with whom the Israelite was fighting eavesdropped this comment and reported Moses to the authorities. Soon later, as Moses was passing through the megacity, a man approached and advised him "O Moses, the chiefs have taken counsel against you. You're to be tried and killed. I would advise you to escape."

Moses knew that the penalty for killing an Egyptian was death. Allah the Exalted reported And he entered the megacity at a time of incognizance of its people, and he plant there two men fighting, one of his party (his religion, from the children of Israel), and the other of his foes. The man of his own party asked him for help against his foe, so Moses struck him with his fist and killed him. He said, "This is of Satan's doing, verily, he's a plain deceiving adversary."

He said "My Lord! Verily, I've wronged myself, so forgive me." Also He forgave him. Verily, He's the Oft-Forgiving, the Utmost Merciful.

He said "My Lord! For that with which You have favored me, I'll Norway more be a coadjutor for the Mujrimeen ( culprits, defiant to Allah, polytheists, wrongdoers, etc.)!"

So he came hysterical, looking about in the megacity ( staying as to what will be the result of his crime of payoff), when behold, the man who had sought his help the day ahead, called for his help again. Moses said to him" Verily, you're a plain misleader!" Also when he decided to seize the man who was an adversary to both of them, the man said "O Moses! Is it your intention to kill me as you killed a man history? Your end is nothing but to come a dictator in the land, and not to be one of those who do right."

And there came a man running, from the furthest end of the megacity. He said,O Moses! Verily, the chiefs are taking counsel together about you, to kill you, so escape. Truly, I'm to you of those who give sincere advice."

So he escaped from there, looking about in a state of fear. He said "My Lord! Save me from the people who are Zalimeen ( polytheists, and wrong-doers)!" (Ch 2815-21 Quran)

Moses left Egypt in a hurry without going to Pharaoh's palace or changing his clothes. Nor was he

set for traveling. He didn't have a beast of burden upon which to ride, and he wasn't in a caravan. Rather, he left as soon as the religionist came and advised him of Pharaoh's plans.

He traveled in the direction of the country of Midian, which was the nearest inhabited land between Syria and Egypt. His only companion in this hot desert was Allah, and his only provision was piety. There wasn't a single root to pick to lessen his hunger. The hot beach burned the soles of his bases. Still, stewing pursuit by Pharaoh's men, he forced himself to continue on. He traveled for eight nights, hiding during the day. After crossing the main desert, he reached a watering hole outside Midian where goatherds were soddening their flocks.

No sooner had Moses reached the Midian than he threw himself under a tree to rest. He suffered from hunger and fatigue. The soles of his bases felt as if they were worn out from hard walking on beach and jewels and from the dust. He didn't have any plutocrat to buy a new brace of sandals, nor to buy food or drink. Moses noticed a band of goatherds soddening their lamb. He went to the spring, where he saw two youthful women precluding their lamb from mixing with the others.

Moses tasted that the women were in need of help. Forgetting his thirst, he drew nearer to them and asked if he could help them in any way.

The aged family said "We're staying until the goatherds finish soddening their lamb, also we will water-soak ours."

Moses asked again" Why are you staying?"

The youngish one "We can not push men."

Moses was surprised that women were tutoring, as only men were supposed to do it. It's hard and tiresome work, and one needs to be on the alert. Moses asked "Why are you tutoring?"

The youngish family said "Our father is an old man; his health is too poor for him to go outside for rustling lamb."

Moses (pbuh) said "I'll water-soak the lamb for you."

When Moses approached the water, he saw that the goatherds had put over the mouth of the spring an immense gemstone that could only be moved by ten men. Moses embraced the gemstone and lifted it out of the spring's mouth, the modes of his neck and hands standing out as he did so. Moses was clearly strong. He doused their lamb and put the gemstone back in its place.

He returned to sit in the shade of the tree. At this moment he realized that he'd forgotten to drink. His stomach was sunken because of hunger.

Almighty Allah described this event And when he arrived at the water of Midian (Midyan) he plant there a group of men soddening their flocks, and besides them he plant two women who were keeping back their flocks. He said "What's the matter with you?" They said "We can not water (our flocks) until the goatherds take their flocks. And our father is a veritably old man."

So he doused their flocks for them, also he turned back to shade, and said "My Lord! Truly, I'm in need of whatever good that You bestow on me!" (Ch 2822-24 Quran)

.

The youthful ladies returned home earlier than usual, which surprised their father. They related the incident at the spring which was the reason that they were back beforehand. Their father transferred one of his daughters to invite the foreigner to his home. Bashfully, the woman approached Moses and delivered the communication. "My father is thankful for what you have done for us. He invites you to our home so

You transferred

that he may thank you tête-à-tête."

Moses ate this assignation and accompanied the demoiselle to her father. Moses could see that they lived comfortably as a happy and peaceful ménage. He introduced himself and told the old man about the mischance that he'd chanced him and had impelled him to flee from Egypt. The old man assured him" Fear not, you have escaped from the wrong-doers."

Moses's gentle geste was noticed by the father and his daughters. The king man invited him to stay with them. Moses felt at home with this happy ménage, for they were friendly and stressed Allah.

One of the daughters suggested to her father that he employ Moses, as he was strong and secure. They demanded someone like him, especially at the water hole, which was visited by hooligans.

The father asked her how she could be sure of his responsibility in such a short time. She replied "When I bade him to follow me to our home, he claimed that I walk behind him so he'd not observe my form (to avoid sexual magnet)."

The old man was pleased to hear this. He approached Moses and said, "I wish to marry you tone o my daughters on condition that you agree to work for me for a period of eight times."

This offer suited Moses well, for being a foreigner in this country, he'd soon have to search for sanctum, and work. Moses married the Midianite's son and looked after the old man's creatures for ten long times.

Almighty Allah reported Also there came to him one of the two women, walking shyly. She said" Verily, my father calls you that he may award you for having doused our flocks for us." So when he came to him and recited the story, he said;" Fear you not. You have escaped from the people who are Zalimeen ( polytheists, disbelievers, and wrong-doers)."And said one of them (the two women)"O my father! Hire him! Verily, the stylish of men for you to hire is the strong, the secure. "He said "I intend to wed one of these two daughters of mine to you, on condition that you serve me for eight times, but if you complete ten times, it'll be a favor from you. But I intend not to place you under a difficulty. However, you'll find me one of the righteous, If Allah wills. "He (Moses) said "That's settled between me and you whichever of the two terms I fulfill, there will be no injustice to me, and Allah is Surety over what we say." (Ch 2825-28 Quran)

Time passed, and he lived in insulation far from his family and his people. This period of ten times was of significance in his life. It was a period of major medication. Clearly Moses's mind was absorbed in the stars every night. He followed the daylight and the evening every day. He pondered on the factory and how it splits and soil and appears later. He contemplated water and how the earth is revived by it and indications after its death.

Of course, he was immersed in the Noble Book of Allah, open to the sapience and heart. He was immersed in the actuality of Allah. All these came idle within him. The religion of Moses (pbuh) was the same as that of Jacob (pbuh), which was Islamic deism. His father was Jacob (pbuh) the grandson of Abraham (pbuh). Moses (pbuh), thus, was one of the descendants of Abraham (pbuh) and every prophet who came after Abraham was one of Abraham's successors. In addition to physical medication, there was a analogous spiritual medication. It was made in complete insulation, in the middle of the desert, and in the places of pasturage. Silence was his way of life, and insulation was his vehicle. Allah

the Almighty prepared for His prophet the tools he'd need latterly on to innocently bear the commands of Allah the Exalted.

One day after the end of this period, a vague homesickness arose in Moses's heart. He wanted to return to Egypt. He was fast and firm in making his decision, telling his woman" Hereafter we shall leave for Egypt. "His woman said to herself. "There are a thousand troubles in departing that haven't yet been revealed." Still, she adhered her hubby.

Moses himself didn't know the secret of the quick and unforeseen decision to return to Egypt. After all, he'd fled from their ten times ago with a price on his head. Why should he go back now? Did he look forward to seeing his mama and family? Did he suppose of visiting Pharaoh's woman who had raised him and who loved him as if she were his mama?

No bone knows what went through Moses's mind when he returned to Egypt. All we know is that a mute obedience to Allah's fates impelled him to make a decision and he did. These supreme fates steered his way towards a matter of great significance.

Moses left Midian with his family and traveled through the desert until he reached Mount Sinai. There Moses discovered that he'd lost his way. He sought Allah's direction and was shown the right course. At evening they reached Mount Tur. Moses noticed a fire in the distance. "I shall cost a provocateur to warm us."

As he neared the fire, he heard a sonorous voice calling him "O Moses, I'm Allah, the Lord of the Universe. "Moses was bewildered and looked around. He again heard the strange voice. "And what's in you right hand, O Moses?"

.

Shivering, Moses answered "This is my staff on which I lean, and with which I beat down branches for my lamb, and for which I find other uses." (This question was asked so that Moses' attention would concentrate on the staff and to prepare him for the phenomenon which was to be. This was the morning of Moses's charge as a prophet-pbuh).

The same voice commanded him" Throw down your staff! "He did so, and at formerly the staff came a wriggling snake. Moses turned to run, but the voice again addressed him" Fear not and grasp it; We shall return it to its former state. "The snake changed back into his staff. Moses's fear subsided and was replaced by peace, for he realized that he was witnessing the Truth.

Next, Allah commanded him to thrust his hand into his mask at the crest. When he pulled it out, the hand had a brilliant shine. Allah also commanded Moses; "You have two signs from Your Lord; go to Pharaoh and his chiefs, for they're an evil gang and have transgressed all bounds."

Still, Moses stressed that he'd be arrested by Pharaoh, so he turned to Allah saying "My Lord! I've killed a man among them and I sweat that they will kill me."

Allah assured him of his safety and set his heart at rest.

Almighty Allah recited this event And has there come to you the story of Moses? When he saw a fire, he said to his family" Stay! Verily, I've seen a fire, maybe I can bring you some burning brand therefrom, or find some guidance at the fire."

And when he came to it the fire, he was called by name "O Moses! Verily! I'm your Lord! So take off your shoes, you're in the sacred vale, Tuwa. And I've chosen you. So hear to that which is inspired to you. Verily! I'm Allah! La ilaha illa Ana (none has the right to be worshipped but I), so worship Me, and offer prayers impeccably, for My Remembrance. Verily, the Hour is coming-and My Will is to keep it retired-that every person may be awarded for that which he strives. Thus, let the bone who believes not therein (in the Day of Rejuvenation, Reckoning, Paradise and Hell etc) but follows his own lusts, divert your therefrom lest you corrupt. And what's that in your right hand, O Moses?"

.

He said "This is my stick, whereon I lean, and wherewith I beat down branches for my lamb and wherein I find other uses."

Allah said" Cast it down, O Moses!"

.

He cast it down, and behold! It was a snake, moving snappily.

Allah said" Grasp it, and sweat not, We shall return it to its former state, and press your right hand to your left side, it'll come forth white and shining, and without any complaint as another sign, that We may show you some of Our Greater Signs.

" Go To Pharaoh! Verily! He has transgressed (all bounds in unbelief and defiance, and has conducted as an arrogant, and as a dictator)."

Moses said "O my Lord! Open for me my casket ( grant me tone- confidence, pleasure, and boldness). And ease my task for me; and make loose the knot (the disfigurement) from my lingo, ( remove the incorrectness of my speech) that they understand my speech, and appoint for me a coadjutor from my family, Aaron, my family; increase my strength with him, and let him partake my task (of conveying Allah's Communication and Prophethood), and we may glorify You much, and remember You much, Verily! You're of us Ever a Well- Foreseer."

Allah said "You're granted your request, O Moses! And indeed We conferred a favor on you another time ahead. When We inspired your mama with that which We inspired, saying" Put him (the child) into the Tabut (a box or a case or a casket) and put him into the swash (Nile), and also the swash shall cast it up on the bank, and there, an adversary of Mine and an adversary of his shall take him. 'And I endured you with love from Me, in order that you perhaps brought up under My Eye, when your family went and said; "Shall I show you one who'll nurse him?' So We restored you to your mama, that she might cool her eyes and she shouldn't suffer. Also you did kill a man, but We saved you from a great torture and tried you with a heavy trial. Also you stayed a number of times witthe people of Midian. Also you came then according to the term which I ordained (for you), O Moses!

.

"And I've Istana'tuka ( chosen you for My Alleviation and My Communication) for Myself. Go you and your family with My Ayat ( attestations, assignments, verses, attestations, signs, exposures, etc), and do not, you both, slacken and come weak in My Remembrance.

" Go, both of you, to Pharaoh, verily, he has transgressed all bounds in unbelief and defiance and conducted as an arrogant and as a dictator. And speak to him mildly, maybe he may accept admonition or fear Allah."

They said "Our Lord! Verily! We sweat lest he should quicken to discipline us or lest he should transgress all bounds against us."

He (Allah) said" Fear not, Verily! I'm with you both, Hearing and Seeing. So go you both to him, and say" Verily, we're Couriers of your Lord, so let the children of Israel go with us, and afflict them not; indeed, we've come with a sign from your Lord! And peace will be upon him who follows the guidance! Truly, it has been revealed to us that the torment will

be for him who denies (believes not in the Oneness of Allah, and in His Couriers, etc), and turns away' (from the verity, and obedience of Allah)." (Ch 209-48 Quran).

Moses (pbuh) and Aaron (pbuh) went together to Pharaoh and delivered their communication. Moses spoke to him about Allah, His mercy and His Paradise and about the scores of deism and His deification.

Pharaoh heeded to Moses' speech with misprision. He allowed that Moses was crazy because he dared to question his supreme position. Also he raised his hand and asked "What do you want?"

Moses answered "I want you to shoot the children of Israel with us."

Pharaoh asked"Why should I shoot them, as they're my slaves?"

.

Moses replied"They're the slaves of Allah, Lord of the Worlds."

Pharaoh also inquired sarcastically if his name was Moses. Moses said "Yes."

"Are you not the Moses whom we picked up from the Nile as a helpless baby? Are you not the Moses whom we reared in this palace, who ate and drank from our vittles and whom our wealth poured with charity? Are you not the Moses who's a fugitive, the killer of an Egyptian man, if my memory doesn't betray me? It's said that payoff is an act of unbelief. Thus, you were a questioner when you killed. You're a fugitive from justice and you come to speak to me! What were you talking about Moses, I forgot?"

.

Moses knew that Pharaoh's mentioning his history, his parenting, and his entering Pharaoh's charity was Pharaoh's way of hanging him. Moses ignored his affront and explained that he wasn't a questioner when he killed the Egyptian, he only went amiss and Allah the Almighty hadn't yet given him the disclosure at that time. He made Pharaoh understand that he fled from Egypt because he was hysterical of their vengeance upon him, indeed though the payoff was an accident. He informed him that Allah had granted him remission and made him one of the couriers.

Allah the Almighty revealed to us part of the dialogue between Moses (pbuh) and Pharaoh Allah said "Nay! Go you both with Our Signs, Verily! We shall be with you, harkening. And when you both come to Pharaoh, say "We're the Couriers of the Lord of the Alamin ( humanity, jinn and all that exists), and So allow the children of Israel to go with us.""

Pharaoh said to Moses" Did we not bring you up among us as a child? And you did dwell numerous times of your life with us. And you did your deed which you did (the crime of killing a man) and you're one of the ingrates."

Moses said"I did it also, when I was an ignorant (as regards my Lord and His Communication). So I fled from you when I stressed you. But my Lord has granted me Hukman ( religious knowledge, right judgments of the affairs and Prophethood), and appointed me as one of the Couriers. And this is the once favor with which you reproach me, and that you have enslaved the children of Israel."

Pharaoh said "And what's the Lord of the Alamin ( humanity, jinn and all that exists)?"

.Moses replied "Lord of the welkin, and the earth, and all that's between them, if you seek to be induced with certainty."

Pharaoh said to those around" Do you not hear what he says?"

Moses said "Your Lord and the Lord of your ancient fathers!"

Pharaoh said" Verily, your

. You transferred

Messenger who has been transferred to you is a madcap!"

Moses said"Lord of the east, and the west, and all that's between them, if you did but understand!"

.Pharaoh said"If you choose an ilah (a god) other than me, I'll clearly put you among the captures."

Moses said" Indeed if I bring you commodity manifest (and satisfying)."

Pharaoh said" Bring it forth also, if you're of the veracious!" (Ch 2616-31 Quran)

.

The degree of the conflict expressed in this dialogue reached its apex; therefore, the tone of dialogue changed. Moses used a satisfying intellectual argument against Pharaoh. Still, Pharaoh escaped from the circle of dialogue grounded on the sense and began a dialogue of another type, a type which Moses couldn't bear to follow; a dialogue of menacing and threatening. Pharaoh designedly espoused the style of the absolute sovereign. He asked Moses how he dared to worship Allah! Did he not know that Pharaoh was a god?

After declaring his divinity, Pharaoh asked Moses how he dared to worship another god. The discipline for this crime was imprisonment. It wasn't permitted for anyone to worship anyone other than the Pharaoh. Moses understood that the intellectual arguments didn't succeed. The calm dialogue was converted from affront to mentioning charity, also to despisement, also to the trouble of imprisonment.

Moses said" Indeed if I bring you commodity manifest and satisfying. "Pharaoh said;" Bring it forth, also, if you're of the veracious!" So Moses threw his stick, and behold, it was a serpent, overload. And he drew out his hand, and behold, it was white to all beholders! (Ch 2630-33. Quran)

The story of prophet Musa A.S

Prophet Hazrat Musa A.S 

 Musa (as) was a great Prophet of Allah. Allah loved Musa (as) dearly, and has mentioned him more

. than any other Prophet in the Qur’an. Allah indeed spoke to Musa (as) directly, which is a huge

. honour. Because of this Musa (as) is also known as‘Kalimullah,’which means 'to whom Allah has

. spoken.’

Musa (as) as a baby

Musa (as) was born in Egypt, and was a direct assignee of Ibrahim (as). Musa (as) was born into

the lineage of Banu Israel, also known as the Children of Israel. The Banu Israel descended from Yusuf

(as), who was born in Palestine but latterly made his home in Egypt.

The Banu Israel are said to have been favored

by Allah. But Pharaoh, the King of Egypt,

. treated them poorly. He was a cruel King and

the Banu Israel suffered under his rule.

Once, Pharaoh had a dream that a baby boy

. would be born into the Banu Israel, and that

. boy would one day kill Pharaoh. Pharaoh

came alarmed, and to stop the dream

. coming true he ordered his dogfaces to kill all

the baby boys born to the Banu Israel.

After Musa (as) was born, his mama was

. alarmed that Pharaoh’s dogfaces would find and

kill her baby. But Allah showed Musa (as)’s

mama a dream in which He guided her to put

him into the River Nile. When Pharaoh’s

dogfaces came to search the house, Musa (as)’s

. mama snappily put him into a rustic handbasket and put the handbasket into the swash. The water carried

the baby down. Musa (as)’s mama was spooked for her baby, and although it was hard for her to

. watch him drift down, she believed Allah would look after him.

Musa (as)’s mama transferred her son to follow the handbasket. Ultimately, the handbasket washed up from

. the River Nile right near Pharaoh’s palace. The guards at the palace plant the baby and took him to

Pharaoh’s woman, Asiyah.

Asiyah was a kind woman and as soon as she saw the baby, she loved him. She asked Pharaoh not to

kill the baby and rather to let her borrow him. Pharaoh agreed.

Asiyah transferred her maids out to find a wet- nanny who could bone- feed baby Musa (as). Through the

will of Allah, Musa (as) rejected all the wet- nursers who came forward. Eventually, Musa (as)’s family came

. forward and said she knew of a woman who could feed the baby, but kept it a secret that the

. woman was Musa (as)’s mama.

When Musa (as)’s mama began to feed him, he accepted her milk. Through Allah’s mercy, Musa

. (as)’s mama, who had placed her trust in Him and watched her baby drift down down the River

. Nile, was reunited with her child as his wet- nanny. Musa (as) would be taken to his mama’s home

everyday so that she could feed him.

Musa (as)’s exile from Egypt

The times passed. Musa (as) lived in Pharaoh’s palace as a Napoleon, and came a big and incredibly

. strong youthful man. One time, Musa (as) was walking through city and came across two men who

. were fighting. One man was from Banu Israel and the other man was an Egyptian. The man from

Banu Israel called out to Musa (as) to help. Musa (as) interposed and struck the Egyptian to stop the

fight. But, Musa (as) was so strong that the man failed from a single blow.

Musa (as) didn't mean to hurt the Egyptian. He was filled with deep anguish and prayed Allah to

forgive him for what had happed.

The coming day, Musa (as) was out walking again and came across the same man from Banu Israel who

. was fighting with another Egyptian. Again, the man from Banu Israel called on Musa (as) to help. This

time, Musa (as) recognized that the man was a troublemaker, and said no to the man. At this

comment, the man from Banu Israel designedly cried loudly

.‘Are you going to kill me like you killed the man history?’

The news snappily reached the Pharaoh that Musa (as) had killed a man. The Pharaoh and his chiefs

planned to kill Musa (as) as discipline, but a kind man advised Musa (as) and told him to leave

. Egypt before he could be arrested.

Musa (as) left Egypt snappily, and travelled to a far down city called Madyan. It was a long and delicate

trip. When Musa (as) arrived in Madyan, he saw a well with numerous goatherds around it, soddening

. their creatures. There were two women near the well with their creatures but they weren't suitable to get

any water because of all the other goatherds pushing before them. Seeing that they demanded help,

. Musa (as) drew water from the well for the two women.

The two women went home to their father and told him what had happed. Their father wanted to

price this kind man and invited Musa (as) to his home and offered him a job. Latterly, one of this

. man’s daughters married Musa (as).

Musa (as) spent ten times in Madyan working for his father-in- law. Although he was happy there, he

. missed his family in Egypt. He wanted to see them again, so he set off on a trip back to Egypt

. with his woman.

Allah speaks to Musa (as)

During the trip back to Egypt, Musa (as) and his

. family lost their way. The wandered in the dark until

they spotted a fire. Musa (as) went to probe in

the stopgap that the people near the fire would direct

him towards Egypt, and maybe give him some

. burning wood to keep his family warm.

When Musa (as) approached the fire, he saw that it

. was actually a burning tree. As the tree burned, it

. came greener rather of turning to ash. Musa (as)

was amazed, and it was at this point that Allah called

. out to Musa (as) and informed him that he was a

Prophet of Allah.

Allah told Musa (as) to go to Pharaoh and invite him to Islam. Pharaoh was evil, and tortured the

. Banu Israel. Allah wanted Pharaoh to free His retainers, and not to bear cruelly toward them

. presently.

Musa (as) used to speak with a stammer. He was upset that he'd not be suitable to speak to the

people duly, and asked Allah to give him with support from his family Harun (as). Allah

granted Musa (as) his prayer and strengthened him through his family. In this way, Musa (as)’s

. family, Harun (as), also came a Prophet of Allah.

The Story of Prophet Shu'aib A.S

Prophet Shu'aib A.S (Jethro)

Allah the Almighty revealed the story of Shu'aib (pbuh)"To the people of Madyan (Madian) (We transferred) their family Shu'aib. He said"O my people! Worship Allah, you have no other Ilah (God) but Him. Verily! a clear evidence ( sign) from your Lord has come unto you; so give full measure and full weight and wrong not men in their effects, and don't mischief on the earth after it has been set in order that will be better for you, if you're religionists. And sit not on every road, hanging, and hindering from the Path of Allah those who believe in Him, and seeking to make it crooked. Remember when you were but many, and He multiplied you. See what was the end of the Mufsideen ( mischief makers, corrupts and prevaricators). And if there's a party of you who believes in that which I've been transferred and a party who don't believe, so be patient until Allah judges between us, and He's the Stylish of judges."

The chiefs of those who were arrogant among his people said "We shall clearly drive you out, OShu'aib! and those who have believed with you from our city, or differently you all shall return to our religion."

He said" Indeed though we detest it! We should have constructed a tarradiddle against Allah if we returned to your religion, after Allah has saved us from it. It isn't for us to return to it unless Allah, our Lord, should will. Our Lord comprehends all effects in His Knowledge. In Allah ( Alone) we put our trust. Our Lord! Judge between us and our people in verity, for You're the Stylish of those Who gives judgment."

The chiefs of those who discredited among his people said to their people "If you follow Shu'aib be sure also you'll be the disasters!"

Also he (shu'aib) turned from them and said "O my people! I've indeed conveyed my Lord's Dispatches unto you and I've given you good advice. Also how can I anguish for the suspecting people's ( destruction)." (Ch 785-93 Quran)

The people of Madyan were Arabs who lived in the country of Ma'an, part of which moment is lesser Syria. They were a greedy people who didn't believe that Allah was and who led wicked lives. They gave short measure, praised their goods beyond their worth, and hid their blights. They prevaricated to their guests, thereby cheating them.

Allah transferred His Prophet Shu'aib (pbuh) armed with numerous cautions. Shu'aib sermonized to them, soliciting them to be aware of Allah's favors and advising them of the consequences of their evil ways, but they only mocked him.Shu'aib remained calm as he reminded them of his association to them and that what he was doing wasn't for his particular gain.

They seized the things ofShu'aib and his followers, also drove them out of the megacity. The Messenger turned to his Lord for help, and his plea was answered. Allah transferred down on them scorching heat and they suffered terribly. On seeing a pall gathering in the sky, they allowed it would bring cool, stimulating rain, and rushed outdoors in the stopgap of enjoying the downfall. Rather the pall burst, hurling thunderbolts and fire. They heard a sonorous sound from above which caused the earth under their bases to fluctuate. The evil doers decomposed in this state of horror.

Allah the Exalted stated "The resides of Al Aiyka (near Midian, or Madyan) belied the Couriers. When Shu'aib said to them "Will you not sweat Allah and observe Him? I'm a secure Messenger to you. SO sweat Allah, keep your duty to Him, and observe me. No price do I ask of you for it (my communication of Islamic Deism), my price is only from the Lord of the Alamin ( humanity, jinn and all that exists). Give full measure, and beget no loss to others. And weigh with the true and straight balance. Defraud not people by reducing their effects nor do wrong making corruption and mischief in the land. Fear Him Who created you and the generations of the men of old."

They said "You're only one of those bewitched! You're but a mortal being like us and verily, we suppose that you're one of the prevaricators! So beget a piece of heaven to fall on us, if you're of the veracious!"

.

He said "My Lord is the Stylish Knower of what you do."

But, they belied him, so the torment of the day of shadow (a caliginous pall) seized them, indeed that was the torment of a Great Day. Verily, in this is a sign yet utmost of them aren't religionists. And verily! Your Lord, He's indeed the All Potent, the Utmost Merciful." (ch26176-191 Quran)
