Prophet Sulaiman (Soloman) alayhis salaam. PART-1
(Najamuddin Ghanghro, Karachi(original from Larkana))
Hazrat Suleman (A.S.) was the
prophet of Allah. His father was Hazrat Daoud (A.S.). His mother was also a very
noble lady. Since his childhood, she used to preach him good things. Once she
said, “My son Suleman, give up the habit of sleeping the whole night. One who
does so does not remember Allah during the night; his good deeds may decrease on
the Day of Resurrection.”
Allah had endowed Hazrat Suleman (A.S.) with wisdom and intelligence since his
very childhood. Once his father Hazrat Daoud (A.S.) delivering his judgement in
a case. Hazrat Suleman (A.S.), who was then only eleven years old, was also
sitting beside him. The case was between two persons one of whom had a claim
that the goats of the other person had gazed his entire field and destroyed it
totally. The loss was estimated as much as the cost of all the goats. Therefore,
Hazrat Daoud (A.S.) decided that all the goats should be handed over to the
sufferer as reparation.
Hazrat Suleman (A.S.), who was listening to the entire proceeding, intervened
and said, “Father, your judgement is absolutely right. The farmer must get his
loss repaired. But I have a better idea in my mind. Hazrat Dauoud (A.S.) said,
Tell me, my son. What is that idea?” Hazrat Suleman (A.S.) replied, “The herd of
these goats should be handed over to the farmer to utilize them and their Milk,
The owner of these goats, and the other hand, be asked to sow seed and cultivate
a crop in the farmer’s field. When it grows as much as the destroyed one, he
should make it as well as the field over to the farmer and take back his goats.”
Hazrat Daoud (A.S.) very much appreciated his son’s decision and approved of it.
