Part 13: Splitting of the Moon InshaAllah, in this episode we will discuss
another creation of Allah (swt) and their prophet.
As we know Allah (swt) created millions and billions number of creations.
There are so many creations that we could not ever finish counting them.
Every one of his creations follow Allah (swt)'s laws.
But among them only two of his creations are different and special.
And those two creations are Human and Jinn.
They can do whatever they want to do.
They are free to do either good or bad jobs.
Since all of the other creations that Allah (swt) created doesn't have that kind of freedom,
on the day of judgment, for Humans and Jinns, Allah (swt) will punish those who did the
bad job and give reward who did the good job for their entire life time in the afterlife.
However, Allah (swt) is merciful and he doesn’t want us to go to the wrong path.
So in order to guide us, he sent many prophets, so we can go to heaven and get our rewards.
Animal: So what about the Jinns?
Who was their Prophets?
Yusuf: Between Human and Jinn, Allah (swt) gave the highest position to the humans.
So Allah (swt) did not send any prophets for the Jinns.
Every single Human Prophets that were ever sent, they are also the Prophets for the Jinns.
Animal: So, Muhammad (s) was also the prophet for the Jinns?
Yusuf: Yes, Muhammad (s) was also the last Prophet for the Jinns.
In this episode we will see how Allah (swt) made Muhammad (s) the last prophet for the
Jinns.
So let's start our story for today.
It was the time when Muhammad (s) was going back to Makkah after visiting the city of
Ta'if.
During the middle of that journey, Muhammad (s) took rest in a place for few days.
One morning the prophet was praying Fajr prayer.
At that time a group of Jinns, who are made by fire, heard Muhammad (s) reciting the Qur'an.
That group of Jinns were very amazed to hear the Qur'an from Muhammad (s).
They immediately accepted Muhammad (s) as a prophet and believed that Allah (s) was
their true God.
When the prayer was finished, those group of the Jinns returned to their town and told
the other Jinns about the new revelation, the Qur'an, and the last prophet Muhammad
(s).
They told all the Jinns to accept Allah (swt) as their God and Muhammad (s) as their last
prophet.
Animal: Did Muhammad (s) know about that group of Jinn, who were listening him during the
prayer?
Yusuf: No, at that time our prophet Muhammad (s) did not know about those group of Jinns.
Later Allah (swt) told Muhammad (s) about that event in Surah Ahqaf and Surah jinn.
After a few days, Muhammad (s) started his journey to his hometown of Makkah.
But at that time Muslims were very weak in Makkah.
He did not want to enter Makkah without any protection.
So he waited at Hira cave and sent a man to some of the leaders of Makkah and requested
some protection so that the bad people could not harm Muhammad (s).
Finally a leader, Mut'im, who was not a Muslim, agreed to give protection to Muhammad (s).
Mut'im and his sons armed themselves and waited for Muhammad (s) to give him their protection.
Then, the prophet happily entered the city with their help.
He directly entered the Kabah and prayed a short prayer and then went home with the help
of Mut'im and his sons' protection.
Animal: Mut'im did a very good job.
Did he become a Muslim?
Yusuf: No, he did not become Muslim.
But Muhammad (s) was very grateful for his support.
As usual, the bad people from Makkah tried very hard to prove Muhammad (s) as a false
prophet.
Allah (swt) showed the people many different kinds of proof that Muhammad (s) was the true
prophet but the bad people still could not believe in Prophet Muhammad (s).
One day some of the bad people called Muhammad (s) at the Kabah.
The people asked him to show them a big miracle to prove his prophethood, like the other prophets
such as Musa, Saleh or Isa (pbut) all.
They requested him to turn Mount Safa into gold or move the mountains to another place
or break the sky and many other crazy demands.
They promised that if Muhammad (s) could do such a thing, they would become a Muslim.
The prophet prayed to Allah (swt) to show a big miracle so that the bad people would
accept Islam.
Allah (swt) said, that the bad people would not become Muslims, even if Allah showed them
a big miracle.
Because without Allah (swt)'s blessing, no one could be a Muslim.
As Allah (swt)'s order, Muhammad (s) told them, the most powerful is Allah and a prophet
is just a human.
Hearing that the people were starting to think that Muhammad (s) was not true prophet, and
that's why he could not show the miracle.
In that situation Allah (swt) gave Muhammad (s) a special ability to show a great miracle.
In front of many people, the Prophet Muhammad (s) broke the moon into two pieces.
Each piece was on either sides of Mount Hira.
Everybody was shocked to see that and could not believe on their eyes.
So they thought it must be a magic and they broke their promise to accept Islam.
