Admonitory Examples
Sayyidunā Dhū al-Qarnayn replied, “That you have no worldly possessions or wealth.”
The leader responded, “We consider accumulating gold and silver to be evil because whoever acquires these things becomes engrossed in them and forgets the afterlife.”
Sayyidunā Dhū al-Qarnayn رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه asked, “Why have you prepared graves?”
The leader explained, “So that when we see the graves, we are reminded of them, and consequently we restrain ourselves from worldly greed.”
Sayyidunā Dhū al-Qarnaynرَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه inquired, “You people eat only grass, leaves, and vegetables?”
The leader replied, “Once food goes down the throat (no matter what kind it is), its taste no longer remains.”
After these questions and answers, the leader extended his hand, picked up a skull, and asked, “Dhū al-Qarnayn! Do you know who this is?”
Sayyidunā Dhū al-Qarnayn َحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه replied, “No.”
The leader said, “This was a king. Allah had bestowed kingship upon him over the people of the world, but he committed oppression and tyranny and became rebellious. Then what was to happen? Finally, a time came, his soul also departed, and he met his death. Now, he is utterly useless, like a stone lying on the road. Yes! His deeds have been counted, for which he will be punished in the afterlife.”
After saying this much, the leader picked up another skull and said, “O Dhū al-Qarnayn! Do you know who this is?”
