Islamic Exemplary Stories

Dead Horse is Living.

Dead Horse is Living Again

       This story is about a young man named Nauf who aspires to preach and Islamize a country ruled by a King named Faris. Whatever obstacles that will be in place later, he will still go to the palace to deliver Islamic shiar. 

       One day Nauf took a walk to the palace in the hope that he could enter the palace. At the gate he saw children playing dice. Nauf watched with interest and then he was invited to play together. In the game, of course, the victory was in favor of Nauf because he was an adult. As a result of this victory he was able to collect as much as 40 dirhams. The Prime Minister's son was amazed at his play and took Nauf to his house. Nauf said "I can't go to your house, because you haven't got permission from your father".Nauf continued, "Wake home first and tell your father". "All right" said the boy. 

       The boy went home and asked permission from his father. After receiving the favor from his father, the boy continued to go to Nauf and invited him to his house. Nauf said in his heart "This is a good opportunity for me because I can preach to him later". 

       When he arrived at the Prime Minister's house and was about to step into Nauf's house, he read "Bismillah" and all the demons who were there ran away for fear of the reading. To celebrate the guests who came, the Prime Minister served food and drinks, as soon as the food was served the demons came back to enjoy the food being served. Showing this state Nauf read "Bismillah" once again and the demons roamed away. The Prime Minister was amazed and asked Nauf "Who are you and how can you dispel the demons" Nauf told him that he had been sent by the Prophet Jesus to invite the slave master, the king who rules this land and all its people to believe in Allah. 

       Nauf said, "Allah is the One, and there is no other God who makes this world and gives sustenance to his servants. He has power to turn you on and off". He said, "Therefore you should worship God and not worship idols or statues because they are the deeds of Satan". After hearing Nauf's words, Pedana Ministers were very interested and he had embraced Islam. Because he did not want to be known by King Faris he prayed silently and hid. 

       The Prime Minister went to the palace and told him that there was a very pious young man who was willing to revive my master's horse. He ordered the Prime Minister to invite the young man to the palace. After being in the palace, King Faris said to Nauf "Will you be able to revive the beta horse?" Nauf said, "I can revive my master's horse with the permission of God on condition that my master allow my request. King Faris agreed to the request. Nauf asked King Faris "Who is my master's family in this palace?" King Faris replied, "Beta has only one father and wife". "Well, call both of them and the people together to gather here" Nauf said. He ordered the Prime Minister to call his father, the empress and the people to gather at the palace. 

       After they had all gathered Nauf held one of the horses' legs and called "La ila ha illallah" the horse's legs began to move and Nauf sent for King Faris, his father and his wife held one leg and said as he had said. They did so, and they finished saying the word with the permission of Allah, the three legs held by him, the empress and the father of King Fariz moved all together. Nauf's next commandment, "Have his people call the phrase to move the horse's body" King Faris ordered his people to call the phrase. With the permission of Allah the horse rose and returned to life as before. 

       Now that King Faris and his people had believed in Allah and Nauf was pleased that his ambition to preach and to proclaim them had been granted by God.
