A garden, an expected harvest, and a decision made in secret. A story from the Quran that reminds us that things do not always go as planned.
Today, children, we are going to tell you a story mentioned by Allah in the Quran, in Surah Al-Qalam, verses 17 to 33.
It is the story of several men who owned a garden and made a decision that would teach them a great lesson.
Listen carefully to what happened to them...
Once upon a time, there were men who owned a garden together.
The time of harvest had come, and the fruits were ready to be picked.
The owners then agreed on what they would do.
They would go to the garden very early the next morning, before others were awake, to harvest the fruits.
But they had made another decision.
This time, they did not want to let any poor person enter their garden.
They were determined to harvest the fruits without giving anything to them.
Their plan was set.
The next day, early in the morning, they called one another:
— Go early to your field, if you want to harvest.
They set off.
On the way, they spoke in low voices so as not to be heard.
They repeated to each other:
— Let no poor person enter it today against you.
They advanced with confidence.
In their minds, everything was planned.
They would arrive early.
They would harvest the fruits.
And the poor would receive nothing.
Then they finally reached their garden.
They looked ahead.
And stopped.
Something was wrong.
The garden they knew no longer had the appearance they had left the day before.
They looked around.
Then one of them thought he understood:
— We have lost our way.
They must have taken the wrong path.
It could not be their garden.
