forgiven. This Surah is “Tabāraka Al-Ladhī Biyadihi Al Mulk” (Blessed is He in

READ AND ANSWER:

There were two men who lived in a village. The first was poor and believed in Allah, .
The second was rich, and Allah,‫ ﷻ‬, bestowed upon him two big beautiful gardens,
but he did not thank Allah,‫ ﷻ‬, for the gifts bestowed upon him. One day, the rich
man entered one of his gardens and pointed to the trees and palaces saying: my
property and palaces will never go, and I will remain one of the richest people all my
life. When the poor man advised him to give charity and reminded him of the Day of
Judgment, he became angry with him. So, Allah‫ ﷻ‬punished him by depriving him of
the two gardens, which turned into ruins.
