Those who don’t Show Mercy won’t be Shown Mercy. “Stories of Divine Punishment for Disobeying Allah and His Messenger”
Those who don’t Show Mercy won’t be shown Mercy
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Muhammad ibn Abdil Malik Az-Ziyat was among the group of people who had a hand in having many great scholars, like Imam Ahmed ibn Hanbal, imprisoned and even tortured Malik ordered that baking oven made of wood with iron nails be constructed for torturing a tribe from Egypt.[1]
Muhammad ibn Abdil Malik used to say during the trial and dispute of the Quran being created, “ I have never shown mercy to anyone. Being merciful is a sign of weakness. Later on in his life he was imprisoned in a cage that on its inside every bar was like barbed wire. He used to scream: Have mercy on me! Have mercy on me! [2]
Reflections:
- The way to treat others is the way you’ll be treated one day
- What goes around comes around
- A serious warning to those who have a hand in dishonoring, punishing and sullying scholars of Islam without mercy.
