"And He is the Irresistible, (Supreme) above His slaves" .. A story and a lesson

Once upon a time, there was a king who used to tyrannize on earth and oppress his people. He was stubborn to see the signs of Allah. He followed the way of Pharaoh in his self-praise and vanity, followed the footsteps of Qarun in his joy and happiness, and recalled to memory the story of Nimrod in his stubbornness and denial.

He forgot or turned a blind eye to "but over all those endowed with knowledge is the All-Knowing (Allâh)" and that above every powerful man there is a supreme force.

He killed as much as he liked, and attacked the people out of fun not for guarding the violated boundaries of Allah, nor getting revenge for the oppressed.

One day he wanted to kill his own carpenter, but he wanted to have some fun and enjoy. So, he sent for him and commanded him to fill one hundred bags with sawdust within 24 hours otherwise he will be dead.

The carpenter saw his family off while his eyes were fill of tears and the hearts of his wife and kids were bleeding because the supporter of their house will be killed.

He started to ask himself: What is the mistake I did to deserve this final destination?! However, the old saying is true which reads: "Kings are full of evil, so do not stand at their doors and do not humiliate yourself to them."

In the morning, his guards came knocking at the door and each knock was like a mountain knocks on the head of that man.

He opened the door as if he was opening the door of his grave and when he was about to leave with them, they said: There is no need to come today.

We came to you for something else: We would like that you make a wooden coffin because the king has just died.

"And He is the Irresistible, (Supreme) above His slaves, and He is the All-Wise, the Well-Acquainted (with all things)." [Surat Al An`am: 18].
