246 GENERAL KNOWLEDGE FROM THE QUR'AN

DIVING SATANS AT THE PROPHET SULAYMAN'S
(AS) COMMAND

And some of the satans dived for him and did other things apart
from that. And We were watching over them. (Surat al-Anbiya', 82)

PROPHET SULAYMAN'S (AS) PALACE
She was told: 'Enter the palace,' but when she saw it she supposed it
to be a pool and bared her legs. He said, 'It is a palace paved with
glass.' She said, 'My Lord, I have wronged myself but I have submitted
with Sulayman to the Lord of all the worlds.' (Surat an-Naml, 44)

WATER THAT ALLAH GRANTED TO
PROPHET AYYUB (AS)
Remember Our servant Ayyub when he called on his Lord: 'Satan
has afflicted me with exhaustion and suffering.' 'Stamp your foot!
Here is a cool bath and water to drink.' (Surah Sâd, 41-42)

BLESSING THAT ALLAH
BESTOWED ON MARYAM: A STREAM
So she conceived him and withdrew with him to a distant place. The
pains of labour drove her to the trunk of a date-palm. She said, 'Oh if
only I had died before this time and was something discarded and for-
gotten!' A voice called out to her from under her, 'Do not grieve! Your
Lord has placed a small stream at your feet. Shake the trunk of the
palm towards you and fresh, ripe dates will drop down onto you. Eat
and drink and delight your eyes. If you should see anyone at all, just
say, "I have made a vow of abstinence to the All-Merciful and today I
will not speak to any human being."' (Surah Maryam, 22-26)

ALLAH PLACED MARYAM AND PROPHET 'ISA (AS)
ON A MOUNTAINSIDE WITH A SPRING
And We made the son of Maryam and his mother a Sign and gave
them shelter on a mountainside where there was a meadow and a
flowing spring. (Surat al-Mu'minun, 50)
