Islamic Exemplary Stories

The prophet Idris a.s opened the eyes of Satan and the King who was willing to become a gardener.

Prophet Idris a.s. The Devil's Eye

       In a book it is explained that one day the Prophet Idris a.s.s sat sewing his clothes, so suddenly standing at the door of the Prophet Idris' house was an unknown man and in his hands was an egg. Then he said: "O Prophet Idris! Can your Lord put this world into the egg I'm holding?" When the prophet Idris heard the man's words, he knew that the one who spoke to him was the devil. 

       Then the prophet Idris said to him: "Come near me and ask what you want to know." After the devil came to him, the prophet Idris said: "My Lord may put this world into anything, let alone in the egg that you hold, even he can put this world into the pinhole I hold." 

       After answering the question posed by the devil, the Prophet Idris quickly poked the devil in the eye with a needle in his hand. How surprised the devil with unexpected actions at all. Then the devil ran away from the Prophet Idris who had blinded his eyes. The devil is blind in one eye so that it arrives at the resurrection of our great lord Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.

The King Who Will Be a Gardener

       Ibrahim ibn Adham was a great king. Since a luxurious and well-rounded life did not bring peace to his soul, he eventually chose to live as a commoner by taking wages as a gardener. 

       The garden guarded by him there are many pomegranate trees. He guarded the garden obediently and diligently. One day the gardener came and asked Ibrahim to bring him a sweet, ripe pomegranate. Ibrahim immediately went to the pomegranate trees to find the most ripe pomegranate. 

       When his master felt the pomegranate, his facial water changed. Then he said: "O Abraham please bring me a sweeter pomegranate." Once again Ibrahim went looking for another pomegranate without knowing why his master had told him to bring another one. After the fruit given to his master was eaten, a grain of it was thrown away by his master. 

       Being too angry because the fruit he ate was still sour, he said in a loud voice: "O Abraham! I was surprised to see you. For so long you have guarded my garden, do you not know what is sour and sweet?" Then Ibrahim answered in a weak and polite voice: "Sir, am I not commanded to keep the garden fruitful, but you do not give me permission to feel the fruit." How surprised his master was when he heard the answer. Not unexpected at all will the magnitude of the trust nature that is in the gardener it.

Moral & Association  

 God retaliates or rewards many times if we help people in distress.  

 Giving help to the difficult person is an asset whose reply will be received in the world again. 

 Give help to those who are in trouble God will release us when we are in trouble. 

 Belief in God's good deeds stimulates us to practice and do good with more.
