Salaam,
I have recently heard a revelation of some sort that is quite compelling, very propagandist (my perspective), and frankly very superficial. A friend of mine took me to a Waz (sort of like a sermon), sorry if I misspelled it, and the mullah was telling us about this story of Jewish treachery and their punishment for it. I will try to tell the story the best way I can, and for those who are familiar with the passage, please fill out or correct my mistakes.
He told us about this Hazrut (which I think means some sort of prophet, excuse me if I’m wrong) whom I can’t remember the name of at this moment. This man would always sing every Saturday next to a river. Now in the river, there were some special and unique fish that would come to listen to the man sing, and the fish were banned from catching by orders from Allah. Now one Saturday as the man followed his routine, some Jewish men decided to catch these fish, so when the fish came towards the singing, they caught some. Then they ate them on Sunday. Then Allah punished them for disobeying and turned 70,000 Jews into monkeys, this is also when monkeys were created according to the mullah.
Please excuse the sentence structure and the mistakes in the story.
Now, it is hard for me to belief that a God of such reason can punish so many people for the actions of a few. Also, I’m not the firmest believer of evolution, but it’s hard to believe that monkeys were created out of Jews. In my perspective, this is a propagandist method used to disrepute the Jewish religion and divert people away from the Jewish religion.
Has anyone else heard of such a story? If this story is indeed believed to be true, then where can I find it in the Quraan, which specific surrah and passage?
Thank you for your help. I’m trying to regain my faith in God and I just want to clear some misconceptions. I was a Muslim, but I soon began to stray as I became confused about passages and unanswered questions. I feel a sense of being lost and alone in many ways, considering the fact that all my friends are linked to a religion. I have been really interested in spirituality as of late and also intrigued by mysticism.
I will remain active in these forums and I hope we can all help each other understand the truth and beauty of all religions and beliefs.
