This is the story about Khidr and Prophet Musa (Moses) a.s. taken from the Quran (verses 70-82, Al-Kahf).<\/p>\n
70. He (Khidr) said, ‘ then if you follow me, ask me not about anything till I myself mention of it to you.’<\/p>\n
71. So they both proceeded, till, when they embarked the ship, he scuttled it. Musa said, ‘have you scuttled it in order to drown its people? Verily, you have committed a thing Imr (a Munkar – evil, bad, dreadful thing)’<\/p>\n
72. He (Khidr) said, ‘did i not tell you that you would not be able to have patience with me?’<\/p>\n
73. Musa said, ‘call me no to account for what I forgot, and not hard upon me for my affair (with you)’<\/p>\n
74. Then they both proceeded, till they met a boy, and he killed him. Musa said, ‘have you killed an innocent person who had killed none? Verily, you have committed a thing Nukr (a great Munkar – prohibited, evil, dreadful thing)<\/p>\n
75. He said, ‘did I not tell you that you have no patience with me?’<\/p>\n
76. Musa said, ‘if I ask you anything after this, keep me not in your company, you have received an excuse from.’<\/p>\n
77. Then they both proceeded, till, when they came to the people of a town, they asked them for food, but they refused to entertain them. Then they found therein a wall about to collapse and he set it up straight. Musa said, ‘if you had wished, surely, you could have taken wages for it.’<\/p>\n
78. He said, ‘this is the parting between me and you, I will tell you the interpretation of (those) things over which you were unable to hold patience.’<\/p>\n
79. ‘As for the ship, it belonged to Masakin (poor people) working in the sea. So i wished to make a defective damage in it, as there was a king behind them who seized every ship by force.’<\/p>\n
80. ‘And for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared lest he should oppress them by rebellion and disbelief.’<\/p>\n
81. ‘So we intended that their Lord should change him for them for one better in righteouness and nearer to mercy.’<\/p>\n
82. ‘And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the town, and there was under it a treasure belonging to them, and their father was a righteous \u00a0man, and your Lord intended that they should attain their age of full strenght and take out their treasure as a mercy from your Lord. And I did them not of my own accord. That is the interpretation of those over which you could not hold patience.’<\/p>\n
It is a nice story indeed, isn’t it? The most important is the lesson that we can learn from the story. As a human being, we can’t read one’s mind. Often, we don’t know the intentions that lie in one’s action, therefore, we should avoid being judgemental.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
