A very old and powerful community used to live around 800 B.C., in Nineveh, an ancient town believed to have been in the left bank of the Tigris river, some 230 miles north-west of Baghdad. Allah sent the Prophet Yunus (Jonah) alaihissalam to this community to guide them on to the right path.
The Prophet Yunus alaihissalam did as Allah said and went to these people. He gave them His message and warned them to turn away from their wickedness. The Prophet Yunus alaihissalam preached to them for a long time, but they paid no heed to his words. When he realized that they intended to continue on the wrong path, he warned them about how bad their actions were and that in the end they might be made to suffer. Angry and despairing, the Prophet Yunus alaihissalam left these people.
Long long ago, there was no earth, no sky, no sun or moon. There was darkness everywhere. Then Allah thought of making a beautiful world – a world full of purpose. Allah just dais the words and there was the earth and the sky. There was the bright sun, the shining moon and twinkling stars.
Then came the dry land and the oceans. By just saying the words, Allah made them all. Allah made the earth in two days. On it He placed very big mountains.
In two days He formed the sky into seven heavens. The lowest heaven He hung with brilliant stards and sent bright comets, flying between them.
Allah made the earth circle around the sun so that there would be night and day and many different seasons too.
Long, long ago the Prophet Ibrahim alaihissalam settled his wife Hajar and baby Ismail alaihissalam in a lonely valley in Arabia. Thanks to the miracle of the Zamzam spring there, some people began to live there. Slowly it became a small city, which later came to be known as Makkah.
Ismail alaihissalam grew up a strong and loving youth.
The Prophet Ibrahim alaihissalam and Ismail alaihissalam were ordered by Allah to build the House of God – Kabah in Makkah.
They took stones from the nearby hills and started to work.
For this sacred land, Ibrahim alaihissalam prayed, “My Lord, make this land secure, and provide its people with fruits, such of them as believe in Allah and the Last Day.”
