(Quran 2:243)

Assalamu alaikum, fellow Muslims and non-Muslims. 

We may all know the importance of the Qur’an, the Holy Book written by Allah (swt). However, we may not necessarily follow the teachings of the Qur’an and follow the role models that were sent to the Earth to spread the word of Islam. In order to remind you of the important lessons taught by each of the significant prophets mentioned in the Qur’an, I will In Sha Allah, be starting a prophets series. This will contain lessons I learnt from each of the prophets. I am trying my best to In Sha Allah post every day of Ramadan about each prophet.

Today, we will talk about our twenty-eighth prophet, Hizqeel or Ezekiel (pbuh). If you would like to know the story, sources are available below. If I also make any mistakes, I apologise and Allah (swt) knows the best. 

Prophets can come to the world simultaneously.

Prophet Hizqeel (pbuh) came at the time when Prophet Aramaya (pbuh) was there too.

You may be given a disease as a test or punishment from Allah.

The Bani Israel in the past had got a plague-like disease as a punishment because they did not follow Allah’s commands. Some historians say that thousands of the Bani Israel at that time died due to the disease.

No one can escape Allah’s punishment.

A few thousand Bani Israel tried to run away from the city that had the plague to escape Allah’s punishment but Allah commanded them to die for their evil acts and they still all died.

According to Islam, if there is a plague in a city, none should enter or leave that city or place.

This was the command.

Allah has the power to give life after death if He wishes to.

Prophet Hizqeel (pbuh) wanted to know after 400 years of the Bani Israel’s punishments how they would get their life back on the Day of Judgement. As a miracle, Allah showed the people how they would get their life back by bringing them to life. The people brought to life thanked Allah. 

There was not much information left about Prophet Hizqeel (pbuh).

These were some of the lessons that I captured from Daniel (pbuh). The story of Daniel (pbuh) is beautifully said in this Youtube video and book which I used to create this article:

Please share this article with your family and friends to get some rewards this Ramadan. In Sha Allah you will stay well.

Thank you for reading and have a lovely day!
