The Jurisprudence of the prophetic Biography

Lecture (32) 27th, March, 2006

By. Dr. M. Rateb Al- Nabulsi

 

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the most merciful.

All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the lord of the 'Almin' (mankind, jinn and all that exists.).

May Allah's blessing and peace be upon our prophet, muhammed, the most truthful.

O Allah ,we have no knowledge except what you have tough us. "It is you, the all- knower, the all wise".

O Allah, teach us what is useful, and  make us get benefit from what you have taught us. And increase our knowledge. O lord let us recognize the truth & follow it, and let us recognize the falsity & avoid it. Make us from those who listen to speeches and follow its best and "admit us by your mercy among Your righteous slaves." O Allah, deliver us from the darkness of ignorance into the light of knowledge.

Lessons and principles of Suróaqah' ós incident with

 the prophet (P.B.U.H)

Dear brothers, this is a new lecture of The Jurisprudence of the Prophetic Biography.

It is about Suróaqah. The speech about him has many significances.

The most noticeable lessons are:

1-    The prophet's-PBUH- Condition Before Emigration and the polytheists' conspiracy to kill him

After the prophet's emigration from Mecca Al- Mukarama to Almadina, and the polytheists' Failure in chasing and killing him, they decided to offer one hundred she- camels to the one who catches the prophet (P.B.U.H) no matter whether, he is alive or dead.

Look at that degree of weakness the holy prophet's Call has reached. Muhammed is chased, the polytheists are planning for shedding his blood in vain, and one hundred she- camels would be offered as a prize for the one who brings him. Nevertheless, he (P.B.U.H) was so confident of the All- Mighty's support.

He (P.B.U.H) faced such difficult circumstances.

All the nations united against him. He addressed his companions saying: "The nations are about to united against you (Muslims) as the eaters gather around their bowl." A man asked the prophet: "would we be few that day?"

He (P.B.U.H) replied: "not at all, you will be abundant that day, but you will be as rubbish of dead plants as the flood dark stubble."

{Narrated by Abu Dawood, reported Thawban}

He (P.B.U.H).explained for his companions that Muslims at that time have no real weight (power or importance) at all. They wondered: "why?" he (P.B.U.H) replied "you will be afflicted with debility (weakness). "what is debility?" they asked, Muhammed (P.B.U.H) said: "the love of the worldly life and hate death."

The second lesson:

The Prophet's and His Companions' Patience in Facing the pressure.

Be sure that one man of the prophet's companions at that time equals one thousand men of us (now a days). However, now and because of the weakness of Muslims, one thousand men are as none.

This is a great irony:                                1=1000

And   1000=0

Here is a story for more explanation:

 One day, Khalid Ibn Alwalid, in one of his battles, asked Abu Bakr( The Khalifah) for help. He asked Abu Bakr to send him 50000 soldiers, because there were 30000 soldiers under his leadership, and their enemies were 300000. Abu Bakr sent him only one man whose name was Alkóakóa Ibn Amruððððððððððððððððððððððð .  ðWhen Alkaka arrived at the battle field, Khalid wondered, "where is the support?" Alkóakóa replied that he is the only support. "You!" Khalid asked. "Yes" Alkóakóa replied and immediately read a letter sent by Abu Bakr.

This letter said: "Oh Khalid, don't be astonished for I sent you only one man, but be sure, I swear to God that it is impossible for any army with Alkóakóa to lose the battle". Of course, at the end they won the battle according to God's will.

The third lesson:

The Principle of Victory and Stability:

This principle is a result of our God's word:

"They( the believers) worship me and do not associate( worship) anything with me".

Do you believe that there were one  and half billion Muslims, but their affair is not their choice; they could not achieve their aims, their word is not the uppermost. Moreover, their enemies has many ways to defeat them? Ya, of course that is because the story is as the following: Allah says in the holy Quran:

"Allah has promised those among you who believe, and do righteous good deeds, that He will certainly grant them succession to the (present rules) in the earth,

Are we granted the succession in the earth? I swear Allah that we're not.

 

" as he granted it to those before them"

This is a rule.

" and that he will grant them the authority to practice their religion, that witch he has chosen for them (i.e. Islam)."

 

The Fourth lesson:

The reality of Muslims and the Enemy's Courage Against their prophet  Muhammed (P.B.U.H) and their religion.

Oh people, say the truth! Are we granted in this earth?

 

"Allah has promised those among you who believe, and do righteous good deeds, that He will certainly grant them succession to the (present rules) in the earth,  as he granted it to those before them, and that he will grant them the authority to practice their religion, that witch he has chosen for them (i.e. Islam). And he will surely give them in exchange a safe security after their fear."

{Al- Nur 24:55}

 

 

 

Oh people, say the truth! Are we granted in this earth?

Do we live in peace and security nowadays?

Are we safe from terror? Not at all.

There is a threat and a transgression everyday.

And disbelievers are drawing and plotting false stories and pictures about our prophet Muhammed (P.B.U.H).

Allah says "they ( the believers) worship me".

In other words, let's say- if we could ever express it in this way-  that Allah is the first team and the believers are the second one. Allah- the first team- has promised them to grant them victory & security.

And the second team (Muslims) has  to worship him. However, if muslims- the second team- fail in achieving their duty towards Allah, he will not grant them victory, peace or security

And never forget that the demolish of this whole universe is easier for allah than not to keep his promise to believers..

The rule is as the following: as we mentioned above, the verse says:

"Allah has promised those among you who believe, and do righteous good deeds, that he will certainly grant them succession to (the present rulers) in the earth" as a rule to believers," as he granted it to those before them, and that he will grant them the authority to practice their religion, that which he has chosen for them, (i.e. Islam) and he will surely give them in exchange a safe security after their fear (provided) they worship me and don't associate anything with me".

"{An- Nur 24:55}.

Dear brothers, that is what has been mentioned in the holy Quran, but what about Al- Sunnah (a manner of life)?- It is all that has been said or  done by the prophet (P.B.U.H))-. Here is a dialogue between Muhammed (P.B.U.H) and Muóadh Ibn  Jabal.It is narrated on the authority of Muadh ibn Jabal that the Messenger of Allah (P.B.U.H) said " Muóadh, do you know the right of Allah over his worshippers? And what right do the worshippers have upon Allah? (Muóadh) said: Allah and his Apostle  know best. The prophet –PBUH – repeated the question three times, then he (P.B.U.H) said: the right of Allah over his worshippers that Allah alone should be worshiped and nothing should be associated( worshipped) with him. He (P.B.U.H).said: what right have they (worshippers) upon Him in case they do it? He (Muóadh) said: Allah and his apostle know best". He (the holy prophet) said: "that he (Allah) would not punish them."- this is very nice words and it has a good omen.

[narrated: Bukhari & Muslim]

Allah; The All- Mighty, the All- wise established some rights for us upon Him, if we worshiped him .you – Muslim –are asked by Allah to demand your right.

He would reward us and would not punish us.

Another evidence from the holy Quran says "And (both) the Jews and the Christians say: "we are the children of Allah and his loved one. 'say'( O Muhammed-PBUH): "why then does he punish you for your sins? "Nay, you are but human beings of those he has created."

{Al- Maidah 5: 18}

Al- imam Al- shafie concluded that if Allah really had accepted the Jews' and the Christians' claims that they are his loved one, he would not then have punished them. That is because Allah does not punish his lovers. So every Muslim who really believes in Allah and obeys him has certain rights upon Allah, that Allah will not punish him. The reassuring verse in holy Quran says: "Or do those who earn evil deeds think that we shall hold them equal with those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, in their present life and after their death?

 worst is the  judgment that they make"

{Al- Jathiyah 45-21}

It is false that Allah deals with the chaste and pious person as he deals with the inattentive, negligent one.

Don't forget his promise: "or do those who earn evil deed think that qawe shall hold them equal with those who believe and do righteous good deeds."

The fifth lesson

The company of Allah is General and Special.

The All- Mighty's company means that Allah is with all mankind (in his abundant wisdom ): believers, unbelievers, the hypocrite and even with the sinner. Allah is with all of those.

However, the Lord's special care (help) is just for the believers who are honest in obeying Him.

"Allah is with the believers."

{Al- Anfal 8:19}.

He supports and protects them; he is with them to grant them triumph over their enemies.

The sixth lesson is The high Morale of Muslims:

The holy Qura'n verse says: "say( O Muhammed –PBUH): nothing shall ever happen to us except what Allah has ordained for us." and he didn't say : upon us

Reader! Listen to this great incident:

The holy prophet (P.B.U.H) went to Al- Taó if, where he was humiliated by the population. They accuse him of being a liar. They also hit and derided him too.

Anyway what did he do?

Did he surrender?  Never…..!!

He resorted saying: "O God, it is to you that I bring my power's weakness, my helplessness, and people's degradation upon me.

O, most merciful, To Whom are You intrusting me

To some distant personage who has control over me? Or on a  foe who will  treat me badly? So long as you are not displeased with me, then I have I don't mind what's happened to me.. To you I shall continue to turn until I have won your favor,  however your cure and well deed is greatly broader for me"

{Narrated on the authority of Al- Ta barany – reported Abdullah Ibn Ja'far}

Muhammed has been forced to leave Mecca; nevertheless, after a period, he decided to return to Mecca. "O Allah's Messenger, how do you want to go back to Mecca and you have been already forced to leave it?"Ziad Ibn Thabit (his friend) wondered.

''Allah is assisting  his messenger'', the holy prophet (P.B.U.H) replied.

He had very high morale, and during his migration the polytheists of Mecca has shed his blood, and they'd assigned 100 she-camel to the person who could catch him whether alive or dead, Suraqah has followed him and nearly caught him. Pay attention how Allah preserved his Messenger Muhammed-PBUH- from Suraqah Ibn Malek in the following story.. As he approached the messenger of God (P.B.U.H), his horse stumbled and he fell off.

He got back on his horse and approached once more.

The prophet (P.B.U.H) said to him: "I'd like to give you the bracelet of kisra (the bracelet of the king of Persians).

Of course prophet Muhammed (P.B.U.H) meant that he will reach Al- Madina, establish a nation and an army to fight the most two powerful nations on the earth then (the Persia and the Roma) and then he will defeat them and get their treasure. So, you Suraquh will be given the bracelet of kisra.

 

The story of Udi Ibn Hatim with the holy prophet Muhammed (P.B.U.H)

Adi's sister, Saffanah, was captured prisoner of war by Muslims, she has her own narration. But when (P.B.U.H) released her, she said to her brother Adi ( was the king of Gassasenah): "O Odi go to that generous person. I admired his habits ; he feeds the poor, releases the prisoner and fulfill people's needs. If he is not really a prophet, then his preceding favor , and if he is a prophet, you are still under the glory of his authority.

Dear brother, for more explanation: Adi Ibn Hatim was a Rukusi; a religion between Christian and Sabians and, being one who enjoyed a position of eminence among his people, he used to take one- fourth of all spoils which his tribe acquired in war. when Udi knew that about Muhammed (P.B.U.H) and about the message which he was proclaiming, he thought to himself: "If I go to see him, then if  he (Muhammed) is either a king or liar, this will become apparent to me; on the other hand ,If he is telling the truth, I will follow him.

So Adi: set out for Medina, and when he arrived, he went to see Muhammed(P.B.U.H) in his mosque. When he greeted him, he (P.B.U.H)asked, "who is this man?"

"I am Adi Ibn Hatim", he replied.

And the holy prophet –PBUH – says : " Put people in their position"

[narrated Muslim, Abu Dawood, reported Aisha]

Adi continued the story saying:

"The Messenger of God (P.B.U.H) got up and led me to his house ,which is a worldly tradition , that if you invite a guest to your home then it's an extreme honor,Udi continues, and he didn't know whether Muhammed was a prophet or a king:" and as we were on our way there, he was accosted by a frail elderly woman. He stood there with her for along time as she spoke to him about her need, and I said, this is certainly no king!.

He (P.B.U.H) then took me to his house and once we were there, he picked up a stuffed leather pillow and threw it over to me, saying, "here, sit on this"

Nothing in his house except this pillow.

"No", I objected, "you sit on it."

"No, you go ahead", he (P.B.U.H) insisted.

So I sat down on it, and the messenger of God (P.B.U.H) set on the floor Again I thought to myself, this is surely no king. Then he spoke to me again, saying: "tell me, Did you not belong to the rukusiyah sect?" he asked. "yes, I did." I told him- for more explanation, (Rukusiyah has shared Characteristics Common to Christians and Sabians).

The messenger of God (P.B.U.H) asked "And did you not collect from your people one- fourth of all their war spoils?.

"yes, I did".

"But that is not permitted by your religion" he (P.B.U.H) said.

" This is true, actually", I confessed.- Udi then realized that Muhammed is a Messenger of Allah as he knows what others don't know.

 The holy prophet –PBUH- addressed Udi asking him three questions , as if he –PBUH –is living among us nowadays.

Then he (P.B.U.H) Continued, "Adi perhaps what has kept you from entering this religion is the poverty which you see Muslims to be suffering.

But God is my witness, before long they will find no one among them willing to accept any more. Or perhaps you are prevented from accepting Islam by the Muslims' meager numbers in the face of their many foes. But God is my witness, before long you will hear of a woman being able to travel on her camel from Al-Qadisiyah (in Iraq) as far as the sacred kóabah with out having anything or anyone to fear, or perhaps you are held back by the fact that you see that power and authority belong not to the Muslims, but to others. However, God is my witness that you will hear about the white chateaux in the land of Babylon being opened up to receive them (i.e.,their Muslim Conquerors).

. currently Islamic societies suffer from  poverty, the whole world is their enemy and they're scattered and disunited, they're now weak nations, whilst others are the strong.

then Suraqah declared his Islam , and he lived till he saw the  three promises which the prophet (P.B.U.H) made.

 

Dear brother,have you noticed the optimism in the words of the prophet? the main purpose behind narrating this story and the story of Suraqah is to raise your morale, , and to be sure that Allah will not let Muslims down, rather, He is curing them.

We're now in the intensive care, which is a great bliss, to illustrate it suppose there's a patient who's been diagnosed to have a cancer spreaded in his body entirely, when he asked the doctor : What I am permitted to eat? The doctor replied : whatever you want , he gave him the permission to eat whatever he wants , and didn't prevent him from any thing because there's no beam of hope that he may be cured.thus,

ÃíííííííííÉ

There's a great difference between being in the intensive care , and being out of it; so the holy prophet was optimistic that the Islamic world will enjoy security and order, and he was optimistic that Muslims will become rich to an overflow extent and there's no one to take this money, and he was optimistic that enemies will turn to be friends. 

Allah's protection for his Messenger from Suraqah Bin Malek :

O brothers, the second miracle happened when Allah, the All-Mighty protected his Messenger –PBUH from Suraqah, who followed them to obtain Quraish's prize. Suraqah heard their news from a man form sons of Mudlej; who saw them during their journey, so Suraqah followed them , the narration of Suraqah is Mentioned at Bukhari:

" I hoped to seize him ( Muhammed –PBUH) and take him back to Quraish, in order to take the reward ( 100 she-camel)he said : so I traced him riding my horse, my horse was running quickly, suddenly it stumbled, and I fell down. He said : I said : What's this? , then I used my dart ( pagans used to throw darts in a certain way if they go right then it’s a good sign , if they go left , then it's a bad sign) and I found what I didn't like, he said : although I found what I don't like , I insisted on following him. So, I climbed over my horse again trying to catch him, when the horse stumbled again.

  

Allah' Sunnah with his messengers: victory and stability

It is the principle of victory and stability:

That is clear in the story of the messenger Musa with Firaun (pharaoh):

"Our Lord! Verily! We fear lest Firaun should hasten to punish us or lest he should transgress (all bounds against us)".Musa and his brother Haroon said. "Fear not, verily! I am with you both, hearing and seeing," Allah replied.

Musa and Haroon were afraid because Firaun was so cruel, tyrant, violent and evil.

Brothers, be sure that the highest degree of faith is to know that Allah is always with you every where and every time.

Here is an amazing story:

Musa and a few men of children of Israel were walking towards the west and the sea:" Then Firóaun pursued them with his hosts".

{Taha 20:78}

Firaóun had a large army equipped with strong weapon. "And when the two hosts saw each other."

{Ash- shurara 26:61}

The sea was infront of Musa and his companions. They saw firóaun and his soldiers behind them. "the companions of Musa said: we are sure to be overtaken".

{Ash- Shuara 26:61}

What shall they do? How can they escape?

Is there any hope ? according to earthy standards if a strong haughty country, with all its weapons ,and equipment was following a small group infront of which was the sea, is there any possibility for escape? not at all.

 

Let us see how Musa answered these two difficult questions.

"Musa said: Nay, verily! With me is my lord, he will guide me."

{Ash- shuara 26:62}

Reader! If Allah is with you who can be against you?

And if Allah is against you, who can help you?

Oh lord. The one who knows and obeys you well, misses nothing.

And the one who disobeys you, is poor. Remember these lines of verse.

Be with Allah, Allah is with you,                          leave everything, and avoid your greediness,                       if Allah gave you , who could prevent him?

And then who would give you if he prevented you?

Allah says to his prophet (P.B.U.H) "you are under our Eyes".

Dear brother, let us go back to the story of Suraqóah with the holy prophets (P.B.U.H).

so I traced him riding my horse, my horse was running quickly, suddenly it stumbled, and I fell down. He said : I said : What's this? , then I used my dart ( pagans used to throw darts in a certain way if they go right then it’s a good sign , if they go left , then it's a bad sign) and I found what I didn't like, he said : although I found what I didn't like , I insisted on following him. So, I climbed over my horse again trying to catch him, when the horse stumbled again- the third time-: I said : What's this? Then when I saw them ( the prophet with his companions - the horse stumbled again-for the fourth time- and his hands sunk deep in the earth , and I fell down , when the horse took his hands off the earth a smoke like hurricane follwed. When I saw that I knew he was protected, and that he'll gain victory. Suraqah then said : The holy prophet –PBUHasked Abi Baker to ask me: What do you want from us? Abu Baker did so . Suraqóah said: "I want you to write a covenant between us". –Suraqah realized that this person is not a normal person , four times he insisted, failed in every time, but he was visualizing the 100 she-camel; a great reward caused his insist But, at the first time Suraqah realized the truth; that the holy prophet-PBUH- is protected , and that he won't be hurt "you are under our Eyes".

 

! If Allah is with you who can be against you?

And if Allah is against you, who can help you?

The nicest word I say is :Some scholars said : this verse is directed to the holy prophet –PBUH but each believer has a sharefrom this speech , and you believer as well if you were righteous and devoted to Allah then you're Under Allah's Eyes, Allah will take care of you , as much as your belief and devotion , If Allah is with you who can be against you?And if Allah is against you, who can help you?

"Our Lord! Verily! We fear lest Firaun should hasten to punish us or lest he should transgress (all bounds against us) Fear not, verily! I am with you both, hearing and seeing,"

 

The prophet (P.B.U.H) asked Abu Bakr to write him a covenant. Abu Bakr wrote the covenant on a piece of bone, or leather, then threw it to me , I kept it in my quiver (for arrows). So when Suraqóah retuned back to Mecca, he didn't mention anything about what had happened maybe because he realized that the holy prophet is protected , and that if he has any intention to kill him he'd have killed him.so , as a kind of loyalty, he kept this news as a secret . However, after the Victory( Fath) of Mecca, he entered Islam and narrated that nice story.

The prophet's position among Muslims- between fact & reality

Let's imagine the reaction of those, who dealt the prophet (P.B.U.H) as a normal person, when they knew that he's really God's messenger.

One day at the truce of Al- Hudaybiah the Qurayshites sent to the prophet (P.B.U.H) a man by the name of Suhayl Ibn Amr, as a representative, to participate in drawing up a written peace agreement between them and the muslims. So the prophet (P.B.U.H) called for his scribe, Ali Ibn Abi Talib, my God be pleased with him. Muhammed Said, "write:"this is what is demanded by Muhammed, the messenger of God" To this Suhayl replied, if we were convinced that you  were the messenger of God, we would not have negotiated with you,. Instead write, "Muhammed, son of 'Abdullah' the messenger of God (P.B.U.H) replied, saying, "I am the Messenger of God whether you believe me or not! Nevertheless, He (P.B.U.H) asked Ali to write "Muhammed, son of Abdullah".Suhail dealt with the holy prophet –PBUH –as if he was his match. If you knew that this person is the master of human beings and the beloved of Allah how would you discipline after his death?

"O, you who believe! Do not put (yourselves) Forword before Allah and his Messenger (P.B.U.H) and fear Allah".

{Al- Hujurat 49-1}

Do not offer any suggestions nor criticize any instructions by Muhammed. PBUH . Do not say that the prophet's call is not for our time (nowadays) and that life was limited. All these claims and issues are impolite deeds, and it include exceeding human's limits,  and ÊØÇæá  over his rank       because this is the God's Messenger. Remember the verse that says:

"And Allah would not punish them while you (Muhammed) are amongst them ".

{Al- Anfalm 8:33}

The superficial meaning of these words is that Allah will not punish people (Muslims) since Muhammed-PBUH- is living a mong them. So, what can we do after his death (P.B.U.H).

The piety scholars say that "since Muslims are practicing the prophet's Sunnah, they are in a place of safety. But if they do not practice Al- Sunnah or ask God's pardon and forgiveness, Allah will punish them.

"And Allah would not punish them while you (Muhammed) are amongs them, nor will he punish them while they seek Allah's forgivness".

{Al- Anfalm 8:33}

In the authentic narration of Suraqah : he said that he approached the holy prophet-PBUH and Abi Bakertill he heard the prophet's recitation of the holy Qura'n . the prophet didn't turned his head , but Abu baker was turning it a lot. Suraqah also mentioned that he offered them food and supply , they didn't take anything , but the prophet –PBUH asked him to hide what he'd seen.

 

The Intense Divine providence Is Good Significance.

We talked a lot about Suraqah's matter, but the most important thing in this matter is that Muslims should be Confident that Allah will not let them down, but  he will purify them from their sins by making them go through difficult circumstances.

The prophet (P.B.U.H) says that "Allah ordered this world  to be hard and  difficult for believers because he wants to purify them from bad deeds and to grant them mercy".

{from Al- Athar}

Also, it is mentioned that Allah says "I love my slaves who are honest believers and I do not want them to die before I purify them from their sins, that they committed during this life, by making them ill or poor. I may also test them by making them face difficulties concerning their possessions, money and children till they are almost completely purified, and if there were still some sins, I would make them suffer while dying to meet them as pure as newly born children".

{from Al- Athar)

Dear reader, if Allah punished you in this world, you have to be happy because you would be under the intense divine providence. This is a kind of the divine test. On the other hand, if Allah granted people all what they want in this world, despite their sins ,infidelity this means that they're not included in the intense care of Allah

Be sure that 90 percent of people who are saved from dangers in this life are saved by the divine providence.

Believe me, one day, a man came and told me about his brother who was far away from Allah; he was a big sinner; has many bad deeds. This man has got an acute heart attack, so he was taken to hospital, for his case was so dangerous.

I visited him in the hospital and there, I heard him saying: "Oh Allah give me a chance to repent, I do not want to meet you in this bad condition." And Allah, The All- Hearer, The All- knowing gave him this chance and he has been recovered .

 After that disaster, he started a new life; he attended religious lectures and prayed in the mosque as other Muslims. One day, he came and told me that he was supplicating Allah saying: "Oh Allah, really the real happiness comes from worshipping you that I knew after the disease that I have got, why have not you sent me this disaster (heart attack) before ten years?"

When Allah's care reaches you, you may at first get annoyed..

Remember the verse that says "and certainly, we shall test you with something of fear, hunger, less of wealth, lived and fruit, but give glad tidings to As Sabirin (the patient ones, etc) who, when afflicted with calamity, say: "truly! To Allah we belong and truly, to him we shall return "they are those on whom are the salwat (i.e.blessings)(i.e.who are blessed and will be forgiven) from their lord, and (they are those who) receive his mercy, an it is they who are the guided- ones".

{Al- Baqarah 2: 155,157,157)

Another story is about an educated girl who wants to be a teacher. She was unveiled and did not pray at all. She did not believe that Islam is the source of happiness. She has been asked to do a check to her chest. Sure, she went to the hospital and did what she is asked to do. Unfortunately, the report proved that she has got a disease called Tuberculosis. Of course, her parents and relatives kept themselves away from her; they were afraid of the contagion. She stayed alone in a special room, wearing particular clothes, using personal tools. She cried and cried.

She collapsed and despaired. Finally, when she saw that no one is beside her, she remembered Allah the Most Merciful. She repented, and decided to pray, after that, she put on a veil. At that moment she recognized the real happiness of being Muslim.

Her brother who could not believe that his sister has got the tuberculosis went to the hospital to meet that doctor who gave them the result of the check and there, they discovered that the report was not hers.

It was for another person. So, she is unharmed, rather healthy. It is clear that Allah drove the ghost of this disaster just to make her repent.

Allah says: " And has completed and perfected his Graces up on you, (both) apparent ( i.e. Islamic Monotheism, and the lawful pleasures of this world, including health, good looks, etc) and hidden ( i . e . one's faith in Allah "of Islamic Monotheism) knowledge, wisdom, guidance for  doing rights, deeds, and also the pleasure and delights of the hereafter in paradise, etc)?"

{Loqman 31: 20}

All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the Mankind".

 

The End
