Islamic story + Quiz
My Hasan had three sons: Faruq, Abdullah and Qasim. He loved them very much and wanted to see them grow up as good Muslims.
Mr Hasan himself was a good Muslim and did his best to obey Allah at all times. One day, Mr Hasan wanted to test his sons. He gave each of them some sweets and said, “Eat the sweets in such a place where no one can see you, and when you have done so, come back to me.”
Faruq took the sweets and went to his room. He locked the door from the inside, said, “Bismillah,” and then ate the sweets thinking that no one could see him there.
Abdullah went to the basement of the house and he was sure that nobody was there. He said, “Bismillah,” and then at the sweets in the darkness of the room.
Qasim thought and thought about a place where he could eat the sweets without anyone seeing him. He could think of no such place. Every time he considered a place, he remembered that Allah could see him there, and so he did not eat the sweets.
Faruq and Abdullah came back and told their father about what they had done. Qasim came and returned the sweets to his father saying, “There is no place which is secret from Allah, and so I did not eat the sweets.”
Mr Hasan was very pleased with Qasim. He told Faruq and Abdullah to learn a lesson from their brother.
Mr Hasan also said, “My dear sons, always keep in mind that Allah knows everything and He sees everything. He can see us wherever we are. So we should not do anything bad – even in secret – because Allah knows and sees everything.”
