The Empyreus Garden II (The Sidrat al-Muntaha Part-II)

An Islamic folktale of Modern Times by Yusuf, Ayesha and Grappy.

The Prophet Muhammad and Prophet Elijah After the LORD blessed the prophet Muhammad with the heavenly fruit of the “Sidrat al-Muntaha” (the Lote tree of the extremity), which is full of heavenly virtues, blessings and divine knowledge, the prophet Muhammad asked the LORD “Who does take care of this awesome garden?” The LORD said “No one, Holy Raphael used to take of it, but, my beloved Holy Raphael got so busy in healing the people lately.” Furthermore, the LORD asked the prophet Muhammad “Why don't you help me out to find a righteous person who can take care of my garden.” The prophet Muhammad agreed. The LORD said to the prophet “Find at-least three persons who believes in me, and send them me immediately as soon as you find them, before finding the next one. And, I will select one out of the three.” The prophet Muhammad requested Prophet Elijah to accompany him. And, The LORD granted Prophet Elijah for his company.

Holy Mosque of Makkah The prophet Muhammad with the prophet Elijah, in his chariot, descended first in the Holy Mosque in Makkah. There was only one person praying. The prophet Muhammad and Elijah sent him immediately to the LORD while he was praying. And, both of them kept on looking for the second one. The LORD immediately turned the Empyrean to look exactly like the Holy Mosque of Makkah, and turned HIMSELF into vary similar look of a local Makkah person. When his prayer was over, the LORD asked "What were you praying for?" He said “I was praying the LORD to bless me with the lamp of Aladdin, so with Jinny of the lamp, I can be powerful, and rule over whole world.” The LORD sent him back immediately, even before he could ever realize.

Holy Mosque of Jerusalem The prophet Muhammad and Elijah came into the Holy Mosque in the Jerusalem. And, there was also only one person praying. They sent him to the LORD as soon as they found him. It became so difficult for both prophet to find the third one, as no one else was praying. The LORD turned the Empyrean to look exactly like the Holy Mosque of Jerusalem. And, asked him once his prayer was over “What were you praying for?” He replied “I was praying HIM that the beautiful daughter of my neighbour could fall in love with me, so I could marry her. As I am rich, I can take care of her.” He was also sent back immediately to where he was. Meanwhile, the prophet Elijah told the prophet Muhammad “Are you hungry? There is a small but very descent restaurant here in Jerusalem run by a pious family, whose ancestors were very religious and believers, Let’s check it out.”

At the restaurant The prophet Muhammad and the prophet Elijah arrived at the restaurant. They approached a young boy at the counter and Prophet Elijah asked him “Where is your father?” The young boy pointed out into a corner of the adjacent room where his father was praying. Both prophets were so happy and very much relieved to see that. They sent his father as soon as they saw him praying. And, The young fellow served them very delicious foods.

The LORD turned the Empyrean exactly same as his restaurant, the room he was praying, and asked him “What were you praying for?” in the form of his customer. He replied “I was praying and praising HIM for HIS blessings. With his blessing I have a sober and a loving wife, an elder son, and a young beautiful daughter. Everybody believes in HIM. With HIS blessing I have a small, but, enough of business. My both kids are very sharp in study as well. So, I was praising HIM for his blessings.” The LORD was very much pleased and took him to the Empyreus Garden, and asked him if he is interested to take care-of it. He replied “I love to do so.” Then, the LORD turned his backyard into a nice and beautiful garden with full of chirping colourful birds and butterflies. And, commanded him to take care of the garden in his backyard, and send him back with many more blessings. Once his prayer was over, he felt like he nodded-off and he was dreaming. He rushed to his backyard and saw beautiful birds and butterflies that he had already seen while praying. He could not believe his own eyes. Then, he rushed to his elder son with full of joy, and asked him if anybody visited the restaurant while he was praying. His elder son pointed to the table were the prophet Muhammad and Elijah were enjoying delicious food. But, there was no one! He advised his wife to prepare everyone for the Hajj. And, so they did with HIS blessings. Amen *** Authors: Yusuf and Ayesha with Grappy. Yusuf and Ayesha, they both remained blessed and lucky for the Hajj with their parents.
