Mina

Mina

Long long ago, about 4000 years ago, there lived the Prophet Ibrahim alaihissalam (Abaraham). He was gracious, tender-hearted and pure in faith. His family lived in a beautiful valley, which is now known as Makkah.

One night, the Prophet Ibrahim alaihissalam dreamt that he was sacrificing his son, Ismail alaihissalam. This was an order from his Lord.

Ismail alaihissalam was still a child, but the Prophet Ibrahim alaihissalam told him about the dream.

Ismail alaihissalam was a brave boy. He was ready to obey the command of Allah, who had created him.

So without hesitating, he said to his father, “Do what you are commanded, father. God willing, you willing, you will find me one of the steadfast.”

Ibrahim alaihissalam took his son away to sacrifice him. As he was reached a place, which is now known as Mina – a valley near Makkah – Satan appeared and tried to stop him from doing his Lord’s bidding.

The Prophet Ibrahim alaihissalam picked up a few small stones and threw them at Satan. Little Ismail alaihissalam and his mother did likewise.

The Prophet Ibrahim alaihissalam gently placed his son on the ground and blindfolded himself with a handkerchief so that he could not see his beloved son while carrying out the Lord’s command. Continue reading

About 3000 years ago, Egypt was ruled by a cruel king Firawn or Pharaoh.

One day a court soothsayer told Firawn that that year a boy would be born among the tribe of the Children of Israel who would destroy him and his kingdom.

Enraged, Firawn ordered all newborn boys of the tribe to be killed. The Children of Israel, already enslaved by Firawn, suffered the torment of seeing their newborn sons killed, while only their daughters were spared.

During these horrible times of pious woman, called Yukabid, of the Children of Israel, gave birth to a beautiful boy who was named Musa or Moses alaihissalam. She was told by Allah that this was a very special child who would one day become a great prophet.

Allah inspired her to put him in a box, which she was to cast into the river Nile, with the promise that her baby would be safe. She obeyed Allah’s order, and as the waves carried the box away, his sisterkept a watch on it, until it stopped at a bank near the royal palace.

There it was picked up by a member of Firawn’s household and brought to the queen. The queen was a loving, kind-hearted woman. When she saw the baby, her heart was touched and she exclaimed: “What a lovely child! Whoever sees him cannot but love him.” Despite the king’s objection, the queen decided to keep the baby in the palace and rear him as her own child. Continue reading

The Prophet Sulayman alaihissalam was the son of the Prophet Dawud alaihissalam. He was a mighty king and ruled Jerusalem. He was given wonderful powers by Allah.

As a child, Sulayman alaihissalam showed wisdom and intelligence. At a very young age he surprised his father with his ideas about the rule of law.

It was when two angry men came to see Dawud alaihissalam. One of them said, “I had a beautiful field full of crops. This man’s sheep entered it and destroyed all my plants.”

Dawud alaihissalam said that the owner of the field was in the right and that he should take the sheep to make up for his loss.But Sulayman alaihissalm, who was a boy at that time, gave a better solution to the problem. “I would like to suggest,” said Sulayman alaihissalam “that the sheep be given to the owner of the field, who will use the their milk and wool.”
