Assalamualaikum. Wr. Wb….
In this good occasion, I'll tell you a very spectacular and
phenomenal story among Muslim. Do you know what is that? That's true! The King
Solomon and the cute animal, the Ant King.
I guess you already know about that story, but I will tell you
different than others. Are you curious? Ok!! Pay attention and look at what I
do!! Here we go!
Long time ago on the hill there was a beautiful and luxurious
castle, all the wall of this castle was covered by gold and in every direction
was full of shiny precious stone so as that everyone sees will be wondered and
amazed.
Yeah, that's the castle of prophet Solomon, the very lucky prophet.
How not? He owned everything, he has plenitude wealth, the title of being king,
perspicacity, even he can conquer all creatures in this world either animals,
plants, gins. You know why? Because, he can communicate with them.
One day in a single morning, when the sun arose yet, the castle
commander came facing prophet Solomon to inform the plan of war goings.
Commander : (Come and bow)
Your majesty, we must be quick! We must go for war before sun arises! If not,
we will be decided to be looser. That was the treaty.
King Solomon : Mm..,
(thinking, walking back and forth) alright! Prepare all cavalries and assemble
them all in front of gate castle!
For a while, all troops of Solomon had assembled in front of gate
castle. The king Solomon came and guided all his troops.
King Solomon : (Facing his
troops and rising sword) O my troops! We will face the war in the way of Allah!
Strengthen your faith! And, don't give up!
In another spot, the ant king and his flock were very busy looking
for food in the very fertile valley.
Ant King : (creep
back and forth) hap, hap, hap, hap, hap… Haaaah… dear my flocks! Keep spirit!
Let's look for many foods to make a party in our hill.
Ants : Yeee…,
come on, come on, come on! (mengepal) hap hap hap (mengambil makanan disini)
hap hap hap (mengambil disana) hap hap hap (mengambil disitu)
Not long after that, suddenly, the ants heard a bluster from the
top of the hill. In a fact, that sound was from the troops of Solomon who would
step that hill.
Ants : Hah….
hah (kebingungan) what sound is this? What sound is this? What sound is this?
(berlari ke kanan dan kiri)
Ant King : Keep calm
everyone! Keep calm! Make an order line and come to the hill soon! The king
Solomon and his troops will across! Come on! Quick! Come to the hill so as not
to be trampled by king Solomon's troops! They don't know that we are here!
Ants : Oh
no.., how is this? How? How? Come on, quick! Quick! Come on! If not you will
die!
Hm., do you know, what would happen to that ants after that?
Well, because of king Solomon's miracle, he can listen and
understand what ants talked. Soon, he stopped his step and smile a moment,
waiting for the ants passing.
Ants : Oh
no.., how is this? How? How? Come on, quick! Quick! Come on! If not you will
die!
King Solomon : (berhenti
diatas kuda) iyeeeeeeek (kuda bersuara) Dear small ants! Please come to your
hill in so as to be safe! We will wait you moment here!
Ant King : Come on!
Come on! Come in! Come in! (mengatur kawanannya), (menoleh ke nabi Sulaiman)
Oh….. sorry your majesty, we disturb your way! (nada malu2) and thanks for
stopping your troops! (nada sok imut) J.
From that event, king Solomon begun thanking more for every favors
from Allah. He can understand all animals talking, because of that, he can save
ant flocks which was looking for foods.
Dear brothers and sisters…
Do you know, from that story we can take a lesson as the servant of
Allah, we have to always thanks to the God for all His favors given to us.
Everything we get is only mandate from Allah, and sometimes it can return to
Him. As what Allah decreed in the holy Al-Qur'an in the surah Ibrahim verse
number 7:
لَئِنْ شَكَرْتُمْ لَأزِيْدَنَّكُمْ وَلَئِنْ كَفَرْتُمْ إِنَّ عَذَابِيْ
لَشَدِيْد.
"If you are
grateful, I will surely increase you in favor. But if you deny, indeed, My
punishment is severe."
Well audience, thus all what I can tell to you, thanks very much
for your nice and best attention. And the last I say…
Wassalamualaikum. Wr. Wb
