Shaddad ,s Paradise On Earth.
,Aad' was a descendent prophet Noah , Thousand s of year ago . his people had livedin the deserts of"AL-AHQAF"around Oman and Hadhramut in South Arabia . They were strongly built and very tall. they believed in no God but worshipped idols .
Prophet to ' Hud ' was sent by Allah to preach and guide them on the right path. he advised them to worship one god as laught by Islam but they paid noheed.
Allah punish Ed them by stopping rain and drought over took .them for years . Them some people went to prophet .Hud. begging him to pray to Allah for the rain . The prophet prayed and instructed them to return to to their village s .There after is rained and people purposed . But never did they amend their conduct nor bandom their faith in idol worship . Al last they were destroyed by punishment from Allah . When Aad' died , he left behind two Suns shaddad and shaddad . after sometime shaddad also died and shaddad became the rulur of his kingdom. When ' Aad' died , heleft behind two sons Shaddad and Shadeed . After
sometime Shadeed also died and Shaddad became the rule rofh is king
dom.. He had appointed
ruled. He girewso arrogant that he even claimed to be God and compelled his people to worship him .
Allah sent prophet ,Hud , to approach , shaddad , advising him to correct his wrong thinking and conduct .In response , he once asked the Prophet what reward ho could expect if he were to put his faith in Allah and worship . one God . He was told that he would have a place in paradise . Shaddad inquired what stort of place it. was . The prophet described it as a blissful place where righteous and true believers in Allah would after death enjoy the best of every thing. shaddad .responded saying it was nothing since he could also build similar place or even a batter one on earth .
He then resolved to build A huge and beautiful paradise of his own on earth . He sent some one to Zohaj Tazi -who ruled Iran with request to purchase allavilable quantity of gold and silver . He also sent people around to other places and acquired large quantities of valuable item including musk andamber etc . He then gathered all his experts and architects and gave them instruction to construct a magnificent ,paradise, on earth .
A place with good climate and scenery some where in south Arabia wasselecteda. High palaces and towers with walls inlaid with gold and silver were constructed. Beautiful pearls and emaralds were spread on floors instead afsand Trees made of gold with branches hanging with musk and amber were put up in plush gardens. everytime the wind blew , the sweet scent OT their perfume would spread around . pretty women were accommodated there to beautiful the dream setting . All valuable metals and materials were suppliedand it took some three hundred years to complete it .
In those very olden days, people use to live very long . prophet Noah hadlived for 900 years . Similarly shaddad was informed that he would live about that long . so he was extremely anxious to enter and live in this lavish man made paradise before his death .
He gave order to all people to proceed to the walls of dazzling city of highand magnificient pillars describe in the Holy Quran as IRAM ZATIL IMAD . Then he himself came out of his residence in Hadramont with his large army for opening ceremony .As he neared the peradise of his imagination , suddenly he saw a deer with trunk and legs of gold and silvers . He gave chase to capture it but in so doing he got separeted from his army . Now alone , unexpectedly he was faced with a fright ful hourse man who in raised voice said :
,"Oh Shaddad ! You imagined that you will be saved from death and live forever after entering this man made paradise on earth ."
Shaddad on hearing this trembled and inquired who he was . "I am MALAKOl MAUT". ( The angel of death ) came the reply .
what do you want and why are you obstructing me ? " shaddad .
"I have come to take away your soul ", he replied .
shaddad pleaded for some time at last to be able to enter his paradise butthe angle of death refused saying he had no permission from Allah to do so . He then fell from his horseback and his soul instantly departed from his body . His army heard a deafening and frightening sound from the sky and they also pershied on the spot. None of them could fulfill their ardent desire of entering the fictitious paradise. The whole decorated structure crumbled and got buried under the Arabian sands .
what a splendid example of the consequence of one who thought he could challenge the Might Of Allah , who had become arrogant as a result of this normous wealth . what a tregedy that he could not even step into his man made paradise .
The Holy Quran has truly described such people in these words:
