[Kanz-ul-Iman (translation of Quran)] (Part 03, Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 259)

Dear Islamic brothers, regarding the aforementioned event, it is stated in Maktabah-tul-Madinah’s book, entitled ‘Quranic wonders’: ‘In the same place, the same environment, the donkey of ‘Uzayr عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام died and rotted, and its bones scattered, but there was no change in the fruits, grape juice and Sayyiduna ‘Uzayr عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام himself, so much so that even his blessed hair didn’t turn white in those 100 years.

As the tide of the sea comes in and goes out, when the tide came in, the fish ate the corpse, and when the tide went out, the land predators ate the corpse, and when the land predators went, the birds ate the corpse.

When Sayyiduna Ibrahim عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام observed this, he became curious
