O those who love Allah’s Messenger! Some of you may be thinking how is this possible, and how can someone travel from India to Arabia in the blink of an eye. If Satan is trying to make this appear impossible, one must realise this is a saintly miracle. Allah blesses his distinguished servants and saints with miracles like these. This saintly miracle is referred to as طَئُی الْاَرْض - folding of the earth and lessening of distance. Proof of this is even found in the Quran!

Āṣif bin Barkhiyā رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه was a saint, hailing from the ummah of Prophet Sulaymān عَلَیْہِ السَّلَام. One day, people were gathered in the court of Prophet Sulaymān when he asked, “Who can bring me the throne of Queen Bilqīs?”

 Āṣif bin Barkhiyā then said:

اَنَا اٰتِیۡکَ بِہٖ قَبۡلَ  اَنۡ یَّرۡتَدَّ اِلَیۡکَ طَرۡفُکَ

“I will present it in your majesty's court before the blink of an eye.”^[1]

So, Āṣif bin Barkhiyā said he would bring the throne of Bilqīs to Prophet Sulaymān in the blink of an eye.

سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه The throne of Bilqīs was locked behind seven rooms. Yet, through the power granted by Allah, Āṣif bin Barkhiyā took the throne of Bilqīs from Yemen and presented it to Prophet Sulaymān in just the blink of an eye. This was a saintly miracle of his, and this shows us how the friends of Allah can travel long distances in a short amount of time. This is why we should protect ourselves from Satanic whispers about this topic. May Allah grant us intellect that is open to the truth!

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب    صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
