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
In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful.
All praise be to Allah, the Most High. Peace & Blessings be upon the Prophets of Allah, especially, upon our Holy Prophet
Muhammad (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa aalihi wasallam).
“Al-Khidr”
“Your real friends are Allah, His Messenger, and the fellow
believers – the ones who establish Salah, pay Zakah and bow down humbly before Allah. ¤
Whoever makes Allah, His Messenger and the fellow believers his friends,
must know that Allah’s party will surely be victorious.”
[Maa'idah - 5:55-56]
Assalamu ‘alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu,
While a party is ever engaged in bloodshed, bringing troubles, inspiring evil and doubts, deceiving with false stories; there exists another party, unlike the first one, busy in repairing things, inspiring goodness, portraying truth, and unveiling reality. The first party is the party of devil consisting of its followers. The second party is the party of Allah consisting of Prophets, Angels, His pious slaves. Iblis (devil) wants to keep people in confusion and misery by keeping them away from knowing their Lord. Allah wants to reveal His bounties and everlasting happiness by guiding people towards Himself. Those in the party of Allah, they have different ranks based on their duties. Al-Khidr (‘alaihi salam) is one such an individual who is part of this second group and the topic of our discussion today.
Quran mentions a story of Prophet Musa (‘alaihi salam) and a man (one of the servants of Allah) in Surah al-Kahf (18:60-82). The man who is mentioned in the passage as ‘one of the slaves of Allah’ is generally known as al-Khidr (or al-Khizr). It will not be of our concern to discuss whether the man is a Prophet or not. All that interests us is a set of characteristics that describe al-Khidr. Both, Prophet Musa (‘alaihi salam) and al-Khidr (‘alaihi salam) are servants of Allah and they both have been doing what they were required to do.
Al-Khidr (‘alaihi salam) is described in the Quran as one of the servants of Allah who was bestowed with Allah’s Mercy and was given Knowledge from Allahu ta’ala.
“Then they found one of Our slaves, unto whom We had bestowed mercy from Us, and whom We had taught knowledge from Us.” [al-Kahf - 18:65]
