The story of Prophet Solomon with the Magic Dome.

Prophet Solomon with a Magic Dome

       One day the Prophet of Allah Sulayman had received a revelation from Allah to go to the shore to witness a miraculous thing to be shown to the Prophet Solomon. Having prepared himself, the Prophet Solomon set out to the shore which was revealed in the revelation. He was accompanied by the jinn, men and animals. 

       On arrival at the beach, Prophet Solomon kept on staking around to find something as Allah had said. After a long search, he has not found anything. Said one of them "Maybe it's the wrong place". But he replied "No, this is the place". Prophet Sulaiman ordered Jin Ifrit to dive into the sea to review anything strange or magical. Jin Ifrit dived for a long time and returned to the Prophet Solomon and told him that he had not found anything miraculous. Prophet Sulaiman asked "Are you diving up the seabed" Jin Ifrit replied "No". Prophet Sulaiman also directed the second Jin Ifrit to dive to the bottom of the sea. After diving and searching for objects said by Prophet Solomon, the second Jin Ifrit also found nothing miraculous and he reported to Prophet Solomon. 

       His Prime Minister Asif bin Barkhiya whispered into the ear of Prophet Sulayman and pleaded for the truth to help him. After receiving the Prophet Sulayman's permission, he read something and continued to dive into the sea. Not long after that Asif found a beautiful dome. The dome has four corners, each corner has a door. The first door was made of pearl, the second door was made of emerald in red, the third door was made of jauhar and the fourth door was made of zabarjad. The doors are wide open, but the strange water does not enter the dome even though the door is wide open. 

       By the power of God's marriage, Asif was able to bring the dome ashore and put it before the Prophet Solomon. Prophet Solomon looked at the dome in amazement over the greatness of God. He set out to see the dome, after visiting inside found a young man in it. The young man was still unconscious even though the dome had been lifted to the ground because it was fun to worship Allah. Prophet Sulaiman greeted the young man. The young man greeted the greeting with a feeling of surprise when he saw the crowd was there. Prophet Solomon introduced himself to the young man that he was the Prophet of Allah Sulayman. The young man asked "From their manakan this and how did they come?". The young man was astonished and after visiting out he found that his dome had been on the ground. The Prophet Solomon told the young man that they had come because they had been commanded by Allah to see the miracle that Allah had bestowed on him. 

       The second prayer of his two parents has been answered by Allah. On the day when the young man was wandering on the beach he saw a dome floating on the beach. When the young man approached the dome . There was a voice calling for the young man to enter the dome. Once it enters the dome and explores inside it suddenly it moves quickly and sinks to the bottom of the sea. A short time later came an institution, introducing that he was an angel sent by God. The angel declares that the dome is a gift of God because of his solemnity to his master and he can stay in it for as long as he likes, all eating and drinking will be served at any time when it is necessary. The angel declared that he had been commanded by God to bring the dome to the bottom of the sea. Since then, the young man continues to worship Allah to this day. 

       Prophet Sulaiman asked the young man "How long have you been in this dome" The young man replied "I did not count it but it began to enter it during the reign of the Prophet Allah Ibrahim a.s again". Prophet Solomon counted ". It means you've been inside this dome for two thousand four hundred years". Prophet Solomon said, "Your form has not changed even to a young age, even though it has been two thousand and four hundred years". Prophet Sulaiman asked the young man if he wanted to go home with him". The young man replied, "What more wisdom should I ask than the favor God has bestowed upon me". The Prophet Solomon asked"Do you want to go home to where you came from" replied the young man "Yes, send me to where I come from". Nasi Sulaiman also ordered the Prime Minister to bring the dome to its place of origin. 

       After the dome had been laid, the Prophet Solomon said to his people, "You have all seen the wonders endowed by Allah. See how great a recompense God gives to the obedient to his parents and how tormenting he is to his parents". The Prophet Solomon went home and thanked Allah for giving him the opportunity to witness something miraculous.
