Hazrat Dawood aur Hazrat Suleman

Book Name:Hazrat Dawood aur Hazrat Suleman

worshipped Allah Almighty, but has now abandoned worship. (Al-Zuhd Li-Ahmad, p. 78, Hadith 219)

5.   O my son! Avoid excessive anger, as this removes the heart of the good tempered person, from the path of truth. (Hilyat-ul-Awliya, vol. 3, p. 82, Raqm 3259)

His unique qualities

Sayyiduna Sulayman عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام would remain engaged in the remembrance of Allah Almighty, and praise Him at all times. It is a statement of Allah Almighty:

وَ وَهَبْنَا لِدَاوٗدَ سُلَیْمٰنَؕ-نِعْمَ الْعَبْدُؕ-اِنَّهٗۤ اَوَّابٌؕ(۳۰)

And we bestowed Sulayman to Dawood; what an excellent bondsman. He is indeed most repenting (to Allah).

[Kanz-ul-Iman (translation of Quran)] (Part 23, Surah Saad, verse 30)[1]

Dear Islamic brothers! Sayyiduna Sulayman عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام is a Prophet of Allah, and every Prophet is infallible, meaning it is impossible for them to commit any form of sin. However, Sayyiduna Sulayman عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام would still spend his time in remembering Allah Almighty and praising him. He عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام would return to Allah Almighty frequently. Then there is us, who do not even have a single good deed in our books, who are covered in sins from head to toe, and do not find even a single minute in the day to remember Allah Almighty. We should strive to spend some time to remember Allah Almighty, and as much as possible, remember him many excellences of remembering Allah
