ENGLISH
TRANSLATION
The story of Younus, peace be upon him,
comes next to the story of Ayub, peace be upon him, corroborating it in its
affirmation of Allah’s ability, His
kindness towards His servants and His help of them.
This takes place even when all hope is
cut off, the killer despair and destroying darkness covers the people and all
outlets for relief are obstructed. It arrives when there is no light and no
air, no hope or expectation and when the millstone of death with its strength
and swiftness is about to grind to the seed of life to fine powder.
At that moment of despair appears the
divine power with its utmost strength and yet with mercy and wisdom to take
this weak human being out of the jaws of a terrible lion and death, the
destroyer. Man comes of this difficult situation intact, without even a
scratch, perfect without any signs of deficiency, as if he was sleeping on his
bed in his own home, safe and sound with his family.
