A story from Prophet Solomon (as)

Post by Navy9 »

It is narrated that one day, a man entered the court of Prophet Solomon (as), looked around at all the people and went out again. When the court adjourned, one of the people present approached Prophet Sulaiman (as) and asked him whether he knew this strange man.

The person you saw was the angel of death (Izrael) replied Prophet Solomon (as). The man was taken aback and looked worried.

Why was he staring at me as though he wanted to take my soul? he asked.

What do you want me to do? enquired Prophet Sulaiman (as).

O Solomon! exclaimed the man. You have power over the wind. Command it to transport me to the land of Hind (India).

As the man was a believer, Prophet Solomon (as) agreed and granted his wish.

A few days later, Prophet Solomon (as) saw the angel of death again. He asked him why he had been staring at the man so intently on that particular day.

O Solomon! replied the angel of death. Allah (SWT) commanded me to take the soul of that man on the soil of Hind. When I saw him sitting in your court, I could not understand how I could carry out Allah's order. Nevertheless, as it was a divine command, I left for Hind and fortunately found the man there. I took his soul as Allah (SWT) had commanded.

There is nothing more certain than death. It is a reality, which nobody can escape from. Allah (SWT), the Almighty says: Wherever you may be, death shall overtake you, even if you were in fortified towers. Noble Qur'an (4:78)

Imam Ali (as) said: Any breath that a man breathes is a step towards death.

Fear Allah in your sayings and actions and remind others to do the same..

It does not matter if no one replies, if someone reads it and understands it that is more than enough. :)

Sorry, but who is Imam Ali (as)?

Jazakallah khair for the message! One of my favourite ayah's in the holy quraan is about death, well to me it sums up the whole purpose of life; 3:185 kul-lu nafsin dhaaiqatul mawt* wa in-namaa tuwaf-fawna ujuurakum yawmal qiyaamah* fa man zuHziHa 'Anin naari wa udkhilal jan-nata faqad faaz* wa mal Hayaatud dunyaa il-laa mataa'Ul guruur

Every soul shall have a taste of death: And only on the Day of Judgment shall you be paid your full recompense. Only he who is saved far from the Fire and admitted to the Garden will have attained the object (of Life): For the life of this world is but goods and chattels of deception.
