He went out one day to his own farm, as was his custom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> About noon he came to a deserted, ruined place and felt the heat. He entered the ruined town and dismounted his donkey, taking figs and grapes in his basket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> He went under the shade of the khaiba tree and ate his food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Then he got up to look at what remained of the ruins.

How will Allah ever bring it to life after its death?&#8221; (Ch 2:259 Quran)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>He said this not out of doubt but out of curiosity. Allah sent the Angel of Death to take his life.<br>He remained dead for one hundred years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>After one hundred years had passed and there had been changes in Israelite affairs, Allah sent an<br>angel upon Ezra to revive his heart and his eyes in order for him to feel and see how Allah revives<br>the dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <strong>The angel said: <\/strong>&#8220;For how long did you sleep?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <strong>He said:<\/strong> &#8220;A day or part of a day.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>He said<\/strong> this because he knew he had slept early in the afternoon and woke up late in the afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>The angel said<\/strong>: &#8220;You remained asleep for one hundred years.&#8221; He ate and drank the food which<br>he had prepared before he was overtaken by that long sleep.

Look at the bones,<br>how We bring them together and clothe them with flesh.&#8221; When this was clearly shown to him he<br>said: &#8220;I know now that Allah is able to do all things.&#8221; (Ch 2:259)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ezra Returns Home<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>He rode on his donkey and entered his native place, but the people did not recognize him, nor did<br>his household, except the maid, now an old woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <strong>He asked her<\/strong>: &#8220;Is this the house of Ezra?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>She said<\/strong>: &#8220;Yes, but the people have long forgotten Ezra.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>He said:<\/strong> &#8220;I am Ezra, Allah had taken<br>my life for a one hundred years and has now returned it to me.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <strong>She said<\/strong>: &#8220;Ezra used to beanswered when he prayed to Allah.

Its leaves had rotted, and the book itself crumpled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Ezra sat under the shade of a tree surrounded by the children of Israel and copied out the Torah<br>for them from that script. Henceforth, the Jews said that Ezra is the son of Allah, for two<br>evidences which came down from Heaven and for his copying the torah and for his fighting the<br>cause of the Israelites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He had been copying the Torah for Ezekial in the land of darkness in the hermitage of Ezekiel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The village which was in ruins is said to be Sayrabadh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ibn Abbas commanded:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> &#8220;So it is as Allah said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-palette-color-1-color has-text-color\"><br>&#8220;We have made of you a sign for the people.&#8221; (Ch 2:259)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>That is, for the Israelites, in that he was sitting among his children, the old men, and he a youth.<br>He died as a forty year old, and Allah resurrected him at the same age on the day of his death.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>for scientific miracles<\/em><\/strong> <strong><em>articles visit<\/em><\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sunofislam.com\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"www.sunofislam.com\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.sunofislam.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCfj9z\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCfj9z<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ishaaq Ibn Bishr reported, on the authority of Ibn&#8217; Abbas and others, that Ezra was a saint and awise man.
