She asked several times but he would not answer her. As Ibrahim (alayhis salam) was walking away, Ismail’s (alayhis salam) mother followed him, asking why she and her son were being left in such a desolate place. At that time no one lived at the Ka’ba, and there was no water nearby.

He gave them some dates and a goat skin full of water and left them there. When Ismail (alayhis salam) was still a small baby, his father Ibrahim (alayhis salam) took him and his mother, Hajra, to the site of the Ka’ba. So be Grateful and Thankful under ALL circumstances and conditions to the Almighty. Hence, whether it brings out comfort or discomfort, all these are for our benefit and interest.
He is also “Ar- Raheem”, the Merciful One. Similarly, Allah is the “Al Hakeem”, the All-Wise and at the same time is the ” Haakim”- Ruler. However, in both these, there are beneficial results for the patient. There are times when the doctor gives the patient “sweet” medicine and at other times ” bitter” medicine. At such times, they draw strength from their good understanding and realise that this world is like a hospital and we are like patients in it.
On the other hand, there are those who are granted understanding, so that when sorrows and difficulties touches them, they remain happy, pleased and grateful to their Lord. But if ever for a moment some such incident takes place which brings with it, a problem and outwardly causes some difficulty, man loses patience and fails to be grateful. Hence, I felt ashamed that the hand that had granted me so much favours, if one day some distastefulness or bitterness should come, how can I turn away from it? O Friend, the pleasure of knowing that it comes from your hands has changed the bitterness of the melon to sweetness.”Īt every given moment there are numerous bounties and favours of Allah upon mankind. The burden of thanks upon me is so great, that my back has gone crooked. Luqman(A.S.) replied: “O Friend, from your hands I have received hundreds of gifts. When he regained consciousness, he questioned Luqman(A.S.): ” O Beloved one, how did you manage to, so heartily eat those slices of melon ? Just one slice of the melon had such an effect on me, then how did you manage to eat so many slices ?” Immediately, such bitterness spread from the tip of his tongue down to his throat, that as a result of the extreme bitterness of the melon, he fell down unconscious and remained unconscious for a whole hour. After having eaten the slices, when just one slice remained, the master said: “Let me eat this slice and see how sweet is this melon.” Saying this, he put the slice into his mouth. Luqman(A.S.) ate the slices with great PLEASURE and all the time expressed THANKS for the favour shown to him by the master. As he ate the slices, the master inwardly became pleased at the effect his love was having upon Luqman(A.S.). When Luqman(A.S.) arrived, the master cut the melon into slices and slice by slice started giving thereof to Luqman(A.S.) to eat. The master sent one of his slaves to go and call him. At that time Luqman(A.S.) was not present. One day, during the melon season, the master received a melon from somewhere. Luqman(A.S.) would consider the love of the master and his habit, so he would eat moderately and send what was left over to the master. It became the practice of the master that whenever he had something special to eat, he would first feed Luqman(A.S.) of it and after Luqman(A.S.) had filled himself, he would eat the left overs. Although he was the master, yet in fact the master became like a slave to his employee. The nobility of Luqman(A.S.)’s character had a great effect on his master, so much so that the master considered him as a great friend and a beloved companion. Luqman(A.S.) used to be in the employment of a rich man.
The details of that is described in Surah(Chapter) Luqman in the Glorious Qur’an. This was a clear sign of his nobility and nearness to Allah. Luqman(A.S.) had great love for the Almighty, that it created within him high moral character and exemplary habits.
