Islamic Exemplary Stories

The Faith of Zunairah to Allah and Prophet Sulaiman with a Magic Dome

The Faith of Zunairah Against Allah

       One of the Muslim servants was Zunairah, the servant of Abu Jahl. It was because of this belief that he was interrogated by Abu Jahl. "Do you really follow the religion of Islam?" ask Abu Jahl. "really. I believe in Muhammad's call, therefore I follow him." Reply Zunairah. To shake the faith of his servant, Abu Jahl asked his friends. "Hey friends, do you also follow Muhammad's call?" "Tidaaak" they answered in unison. "Well, about what Muhammad brought was good, of course they will follow him first" said Abu Jahl harassing his servant. 

       So Zunairah was beaten viciously until his eyes were badly injured and eventually became blind. Seeing his servant's eyes go blind, Abu Jahl persuaded him. "Your eyes went blind because you converted to Islam. Try to leave the religion of Muhammad, your eyes will heal again" he said. 

       How hurt Zunairah was to hear the mockery. "All of you are liars, immoral. The Lata and Uzza that you worship will do nothing. Especially benefit and harm," he said. 

       Hearing that, Abu Jahl was getting up. So the servant struck him hard and said, "O Zunairah. Remember Lata and Uzza. It was our idol of worship since our ancestors. Don't you fear if they get angry with you? Leave immediately the religion of Muhammad that harasses us." Said Abu Jahl. 

       "Wahai Abu Jahl. Latta and Uzza were blind. Blinder than my eyes blind from this torment of yours. Even though my eyes are blind, God will have no difficulty returning them to light, unlike your god Latta and Uzza" Zunairah said. 

       Thanks to the power of God. The next day Zunairah's eyes were blinded by the torture of Abu Jahl was healed again as usual. Abu Jahl who witnessed it became very astonished. But the unbeliever said, "This must be because of Muhammad's magic" he said, again torturing his servant. Fortunately, Abu Bakr came and freed Zunairah after giving a ransom to Abu Jahl.

Prophet Solomon with a Magic Dome

       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. 

       After receiving permission from the young man, Prophet Solomon reviewed it to see the miraculous objects decorated in it. The beauty inside the dome is amazing. Prophet Sulaiman asked the young man how he could be in this dome located at the bottom of the sea. The young man recounted that he had served his parents for 70 years. His father was paralyzed while his mother was blind. One day when his mother was about to die, his mother called him and informed him that his mother was willing to be on the service given by him. His mother prayed to God that her son would be extended in age and be obedient to God. After his mother died, his father died shortly afterwards. Before his father died, his father had also called him and informed him that he too had been willing on the solemnity he was given. His father had prayed before he died that his son might be put in a place that the devil could not disturb. 

       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.
