Islamic Story: The Story of a Blind Youth Who Was Delivered by the Devil to the Mosque

The Story of a Blind Youth Who Was Delivered by the Devil to the Mosque

Kaummuslim.com - The following Islamic story is about a young man who was blind since birth and one day was escorted by the devil to the mosque.

The young man in question was named Abdullah bin Umar bin Shurayh. However, he was blind from birth, and people called him Abdullah bin Umi Maktum.

Even though he was blind, he diligently studied Islam and went to the mosque daily to pray in the congregation.

One day, Abdullah came to the Messenger of Allah asking permission not to go to congregational prayers because no one had led him to the mosque.

Abdullah said, 'O Messenger of Allah, may I ask for a waiver not to join the congregation for the Fajr prayer?'

The Prophet then turned to ask, 'Did you hear the call to prayer?' Abdullah replied, 'Yes.' The Messenger of Allah said, if this is the case, then there is no reason for you to leave the congregational prayer.

Abdullah was silent and then obeyed the Prophet's orders. He then promised to keep coming to the mosque istiqamah congregational prayers. After the words of the Prophet, Abdullah then went to the mosque alone. Unfortunately, while walking, he tripped over a rock and fell on his face until his head was bleeding.

Abdullah wiped his flowing blood and stood back up to continue his journey. His pain is not a barrier to going to the mosque for congregational prayers. Suddenly, a young man's voice offered to help. The young man offered to demand Abdullah go to the mosque, even waited for him, and then drove him back home.

Abdullah felt grateful and thought Allah had sent a helper for him. The young man not only took Abdullah once but every day.

Every day the young man led Abdullah to the mosque, waited patiently for him to finish the prayer, and then led him back to his house.

Abdullah is very happy that there is someone who always guides him sincerely without asking for anything in return.

Strangely, the figure of the young man never gave his name. Abdullah always asked him, but the young man always avoided him.

Until one day, Abdullah insisted on knowing the young man's name. He said he didn't want to be led again if he wasn't told his name.

Because the figure of the young man still wanted to guide Abdullah, he also revealed his identity.

"Okay, I'll tell you who I am. I am a devil," said the young man.

Abdullah was surprised and asked why the devil had helped him. He said that the devil's job is not to hinder goodness, but this devil leads him daily to the mosque for congregational prayers.

The devil said, 'Do you remember when you went to the mosque and tripped over a stone and bled? I heard the angel say that half of your sins have been forgiven because of that. So I don't want you to fall again until all your sins are forgiven.

Abdullah was astonished. It turned out that the figure of a young man who was thought to be kind was a devil who was not willing to have all his sins forgiven by Allah.

That is the attitude of the devil, who is always unwilling if someone will become an inhabitant of heaven.
