{"product_id":"9783739665856","title":"Islam Folklore Vol 1 The Staff of Prophet Moses (Musa)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e{And We inspired Musa (Moses) (saying), 'Throw your staff',’ and behold! It swallowed up straight away all the falsehoods which they showed.} (Al-A'raf: 117)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy is it that a garden is sometimes green and sometimes yellow?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy is it that the deserts are dry and the mountaintops are covered with snow?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy is it that the color of the sun is like fire when rising and like blood when setting?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy is it that the moon turns from a beautiful full moon to a slim crescent?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are so many 'whys' which I cannot find the answer for. All I know is that I was a plant, then I became an inanimate object and then I turned into an animal. I know that my last transformation, from an object to an animal, was one of Allah's great Miracles. To Musa I was only a staff but to Almighty Allah I was something totally different.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe staff of Prophet Musa (Moses), that is me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI am the staff of Musa. I preceded the Prophet while walking ...I would raise high then fall down onto earth all the way along. I have no mind and I know nothing about \"why\" or \"how\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt first the sun used to provide me with greenness and elasticity, but when I died it gave me strength and solidity, how amazing! Death is supposed to be the end of power and strength for all beings, but for me it was the opposite. I was only a branch of a tree and when I died I became stronger. So, you see that death means the ultimate end of power for some beings and a newborn power for others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is both simple and miraculous at the same time. When a branch of a tree dies, it is turned into a staff and a staff does not gain its solidity unless it is completely dead. That is how power is generated from death, the cessation of being, and this is only a modest sign of Allah's Omnipotence. I believe in Allah just like all the plants and all the inanimate objects do, though each of us glorifies Allah in his own special way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo, it is me the staff of Musa! The most famous staff of all, chosen to be in the hands of Allah's Messenger to Pharaoh.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PublishDrive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47135283904752,"sku":"9783739665856","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783739665856_p0.jpg?v=1763679935","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783739665856","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
