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-fifth prophet, Dhul Kifl (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. 

‘Dhul-kifl’ means a man of luck.

This is some good Arabic vocabulary to know.

You should be patient, be a good judge and keep your promises.

Prophet Dhul Kifl (pbuh) had all these characteristics.

Prophet Dhul Kifl was never angry at anyone.

This was specifically in the story of how the devil, Shaytan, came to Dhul Kifl (pbuh) three times when he was supposed to take a nap. Prophet Dhul Kifl (pbuh) never became angry even though he missed his sleep but in the last time, Prophet Dhul Kifl (pbuh)took Shaytan (without knowing he was the devil) and Shaytan understood Prophet Dhul Kifl (pbuh)would never lose his patience. Shaytan disappeared and Prophet Dhul Kifl (pbuh)had passed the test.

You should try your best to defend your fellow brothers and sisters.

One of the prophet’s servants tried to stop Shaytan from entering when Dhul Kifl was trying to take a nap which shows that he cared about Prophet Dhul Kifl (pbuh).

Shaytan has many ways to trick you.

Shaytan tried his best to make Prophet Dhul Kifl (pbuh) angry but this did not work for him.

These were some of the lessons that I captured from Dhul Kifl (pbuh). The story of Dhul Kifl (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!
