Allah Resurrects the Dead
\nAlmighty Allah said:
\n\u201cDid you (O Muhammad) not think of those who went forth from their homes in thousands, fearing death? Allah said to them, \u201cDie.\u201d And then He restored them to life. Truly, Allah is full of Bounty to mankind, but most men think not. (Ch 2:243 Quran).
\nMohammad Ibn Ishaaq stated of Wahb Ibn Munbah said that when Allah took Kalih Ibn Yofra (Jephtha) after Joshua, Ezekiel Ibn Buzi succeeded him as the prophet to the Israelites. The people had fled from Palestine for fear of the plague and settled on a plateau. Allah said to them: \u201cDie you all,\u201d and they all perished. A few centuries passed, and then Ezekiel, passing by, stopped over them, wondering. There came a voice: \u201cDo you want Allah to resurrect them while you watch?\u201d He said: \u201cYes.\u201d Then he was commanded to call those bones to join one to the other and to be covered with flesh. So he called them by the power of Allah, and the people arose and glorified Allah in the voice of one man.
\nAllah Resurrects the Dead Through Ezekiel
\nAccording to Ibn Abbas, this place was called \u201cDamardan.\u201d Its people were inflicted with plague, so they fled, while a group of them who remained in the village perished. The Angel of Death called to the survivors: \u201cDie you all,\u201d and they perished. After a long time a prophet called Ezekiel passed by them and stood wondering over them, twisting his jaws and fingers. Allah revealed to him: \u201cDo you want Me to show you how I bring them back to life? He said: \u201cYes.\u201d His idea was to marvel at the power of Allah over them. A voice said to him: \u201cCall: \u2018O you bones, Allah commands you to gather up.’\u201d The bones began to fly one to the other until they became skeletons. Then Allah revealed to him to say; \u201cCall: \u2018O you bones, Allah commands you to put on flesh and blood and the clothes in which they had died.’\u201d And a voice said: \u201cAllah commands you to call the bodies to rise.\u201d And they rose. When they returned to life they said: \u201cBlessed are You, O Lord, and all praises is Yours.\u201d Ibn \u2018Abbas reported that the dead who were resurrected were four thousand, while Ibn Salih said they were nine thousand.
\nHadith About the Plagues
\nRegarding plague, Abu Ubaidah Ibn Al-Jarrah related that \u2018Umar Ibn Al-Khattab was on his way to Syria and had reached Sarg when the leader of the Muslim army, Abu Ubaidah Ibn Al-Jarrah, and his companions met him and told him of a pestilence that had broken out in Syria. \u2018Umar remember the Prophet\u2019s (pbuh) saying: \u201cIf it (plague) be in a country where you are staying, do not go out fleeing it, and if you hear it is in a country, do not enter it.\u201d Umar praised Allah and
\nthen went off.
\nMuhammad Ibn Ishaaq stated that we do not know how long Ezekiel (pbuh) stayed among the Israelites before Allah took him away. After him, the Israelites deviated from the right way of life, as they usually did, and deserted Allah\u2019s covenant with them. They worshipped many idols, among them Ba\u2019al, so Allah sent to them the Prophet Elijah (pbuh).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
