Alaihis-salaam
Hazrat Dawood Alaihis salaam was the King of his people. He had 19 sons, each one of them
hoped to inherit the father's throne. Allah revealed to Hazrat Dawood Alaihis-salaam a few
questions and their answers and commanded him to put those questions to each one of his sons.
Whosoever answered those questions correctly, would inherit his throne.
One day Hazrat Dawood Alaihis salaam called all his sons in the presence of the scholars and the
chiefs of the tribes of his kingdom. He then put forward the following questions:
The nearest things to a man is the hereafter (Life and Death - as one may die any moment);
The farthest things is the time which has passed away (which is not to come again);
The two things that are attached to each other is man's body with the soul;
The two things which remain the same are the sky and the earth;
The two things which are different are the day and night;
The two things which are opposed to each other are life and death;
The action - the end of which is good - is patience and forbearance at the time of anger;
The action - the end of which is bad is haste at the time of anger.
Hazrat Dawood Alaihis-salaam obviously, was very much impressed with his knowledge and
appointed Hazrat Sulaiman Alaihis Salaam as his successor.
Thus it will be seen that it was the supreme knowledge and wisdom that made Hazrat Sulaiman
Alaihis-salaam succeed his father and become the Great King Prophet.
Never take some one for granted,Hold every person Close to your Heart because you might wake
up one day and realize that you have lost a diamond while you were too busy collecting stones."
Remember this always in life.
