Bismillah hir Rehman nir Raheem
The life of our Prophets is not only an example for us, but its a lesson in an autobiographical way. Every Prophet who have ever treaded the earth left behind unanimous stories and lessons valuable than a mountain of gold. WE not only learn how to live our lives following their steps but we also learn to beleive in our One and Only Allah through their stories.
It is narrated that when Hazrat Suleman was granted kingship over all the world, he decided to feed all the creatures residing on earth, so as to honor his kingdom. So he prayed to Allah and asked Him to allow to take care of the food system for a whole year for everyone, but Allah denied the request replieng thats its impossible for him to do so, hazrat Suleman requested for one month still he was denied, he requested for a week still he was denied, then he requested for a day , and Allah denied replieng that its impossible for him to do so for one day even. he requested for one time, so Allah gave him permission to feed His creatures for a part of a day.
Hazrat Suleman ordered Jinn ( Ghosts ) and humans to collect all the food available on earth be it for a carnivore or a herbivore. So food was collected for 3 or 6 months. He then ordered them to be cooked in big cookers and pans, and ordered the wind to keep blowing over it so that it wont rot when the feast will begin.
when all was ready, Allah asked Hazrat Suleman who would he like to recieve as guest first? the land creatures? or creatures from water? Hazrat Suleman opted for the fishes. so Allah sent forth one of the biggest fish living in the sea.
When the fish came forth it asked Hazrat Suleman “Is it true that you have sent an open invitation to all of us today?”
the fish started to eat from one end and it went on eating until it ate all the food that had ben collected over months, when everything was emptied it turned towards Hazrat Suleman and said “O Suleman I am still hungry feed me!”
Hazrat Suleman was famished he replied “You ate all the food that I had collected for others and still you insist to be fed?”
