Prophet Nuh As

After many years Adam had grandchildren and even great

grandchildren. There were now lots of people on earth. Many of them obeyed
Allah SWT but some were not so good and did just what they wanted to do all the
time. This made Allah SWT very unhappy.
Allah SWT chose Nuh, a good man, to tell the people that what they were
doing was wrong. But they wouldn't listen to him and carried on doing bad things.
Allah SWT decided that all the naughty people should be punished.
He told Nuh to build a big ark near his house. Nuh quickly got busy choosing good
wood and building it up into a fine ark. A lot of people laughed at him but he did
not take any notice of them, because Allah SWT had told him what to do. When he
had finished, he put lots of food into the ark and collected the good people
together. They also took lots of animals with theminto the ark, two of every kind.
One day, all of a sudden, the sky went very dark and it started to rain. Lightly
at first, then more and more heavily. Soon there was water everywhere. The bad
people were not laughing any more. They were frightened because they had no
shelter from the water. Only the good people in the ark were safe and dry.

Imam’s full name is Aḥmad Ibn Moḥammad Ibn Ḥanbal Abu Abdullah Al-Shaybani.
He was originally from Baghdad. Imam’s grandfather, Hanbal, was the governor of
Sarkhas during the Umayyad period. His father Muhammad was a soldier Abbasid Army
in Khurasan. His tribe was Banu Shayban which was known for courage and
chivalry. Imam Ahmad was descended from a pure Arabic lineage that coincided with the
lineage of the Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W.) from Nizar Bin Maad Bin Adnan from the
clan of Banu Bakr bin Wail. Imam’s mother was Safiiya Bint Maimoona, who was also
from the tribe of Shayban from the clan of Banu Amir.
Imam Ahmad was born and raised in Baghdad, Iraq. He was born in the Islamic
month of Rabi-ul-Awwal, 164 AH (780 AD). His father Mohammad died young at the age
of thirty and Imam Ahmad was, therefore, raised as an orphan, which is the reason why
he learned to be self-reliant from childhood.
Imam Ahmed studied extensively in Baghdad. When he finished his
primary/elementary Islamic education (the Maktab), Imam began to attend study circles
at higher level of Islamic education at the age of fourteen. Then he began to focus on
studying Hadith in 179 AH (795 AD).
He started learning jurisprudence (Fiqh) under the celebrated Islamic scholar, Abu
Yusuf, who was a renowned student and companion of Imam Abu Hanifa . Then Imam
Ahmad remained student of Hushaim Bin Basheer until his death in 183 AH (799 AD).
During his studies, he heard about the death of Imam Malik. He then went to Kufah where
he became famous as an authority on reports narrated from Hushaim Bin Basheer. He
memorized all the books of Imam Wakee Ibn Al-Jarah and was also taught by him. Imam
Ahmad leaned Islamic law from Imam Al-Shafi'ee.
Imam Ahmad began traveling through Iraq, Syria, and Arabia to collect hadiths.
During his travel, he wrote down bout three hundred thousand Hadiths.
Imam Ahmad had plenty of writings. Among his works are:
Al-Musnad: (This book contains 30,000 hadith), resala Salat: (A small book on common
mistakes in prayer), masaail: (Collection of fatwas issued by Imam Ahmad), al
Ashriba: (Explanations about unlawful beverage/drinks), dan Fadhail Al-Sahabah: [This
book is about the virtues of the companions of Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W.)]

Prophet Salih
The people of Thamud lived in a valley called al-Hajr in the north of Arabia. It
was a good land so everything grew very easily. Cattle and sheep grazed on the
land. Everyone had plenty of everything.
When people have a lot, they sometimes forget who provides everything, they
sometimes forget Allah. When this happens, Allah sends a messenger
or a prophet to try to help the people. To the people of Thamud, Allah sent Salih. Salih
told the people to remember Allah but a lot of people just laughed at him and would not
listen. He did not give up. He still tried to persuade them to worship Allah
and soon people began to listen.They realised Salih was right. The leaders of
Thamud were upset by this. They did not want people to listen to Salih. They did not
believe Salih was sent by Allah. They wanted him to prove it, they wanted a sign. They
told Salih to bring them a camel but it had to be a special camel.
Salih prayed to Allah and Allah sent the special camel. The camel gave lots
and lots of milk so all the poor people had enough to drink, and they were very happy.The
leaders of Thamud became angry again to see Salih and his followers so happy. They
decided to kill the camel. Salih told them that Allah
would punish them.
Salih took all the good people away from the valley. A terrible earthquake
came and destroyed the valley and all the bad people. If they had listened to Salih they
would have been saved. (http://akhyar1989-wordpres.blogspot.com/2013/10/narrative-text-story-

Prophet Lut

Prophet Lut and his family (16)…………among very evil and disobedient people.
These people did many things which Allah had forbidden. So Allah commanded Lut to
tell them: You must stop doing evil and believe in Allah. Allah has (17)…………me to
warn you of a terrible punishment that is going to befall you if you do not obey Him.
But people refused to listen to Lut. They even laughed at him because he would not
join them in doing evil deeds.
One day, some visitors came to Lut. The evil people wanted to capture his
visitors and harm them. Lut was very (18)…………….that he would not be able to protect
his guests. But to Lut's surprise and relief, the visitors said: You need not be
frightened. Those evil-doers cannot harm us. For we are messengers of Allah. We
have come from Allah to tell you to take your family and (19)………………. this town at
night. None of you should try to turn and look back or stay behind. Only those who
go without looking back will be saved.
Lut knew at once that the visitors were indeed Allah's (20)………………. They had
come so that Lut and his family could escape and be safe, for Allah was going to
punish the evil-doers of that town. Lut and his family, however, had believed in Allah
and prayed to Him. Therefore they were to be saved.
At once, Lut and his family got ready and left their house at night when it was
dark, so that the evil people would not see them. But then, just as they were leaving,
Lut's wife turned back and stayed behind. She refused to believe in Allah and was
also disobedient. So she was not saved from punishment and death when Allah sent
K.Ihsan_180121006

down a rain of fire and stones. All the houses in the town were destroyed and the
disobedient people perished in the rain of fire and stones.

Only Lut and the rest of his family were rescued, and they praised and thanked Allah
for having saved them.(http://akhyar1989-wordpres.blogspot.com/2013/10/narrative-text-story-

a present to give to Allah and to leave it on top of a certain hill.
The one whose present Allah accepted, would win the argument.Allah chose
Habil's present because Habil had taken a lot of time and trouble to choose his
present.
Qabil was very upset and angry. He was so angry that he killed his own brother.
Afterwards, when he realised what he had done, he cried and cried but it was too
