Page 40 - The Story of Prophet Shammil عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ

On page 40, Allah recounts the story of the Children of Israel after the time of the Prophet Musa. They requested a king to lead them in Allah's Way. However, when they were commanded to fight, most of them turned away despite their earlier commitment. Allah, being All-Aware, observed their injustice.

The Prophet Shammil conveyed to them that Allah had chosen Talut (Saul) as their king. Some among them questioned this choice, arguing that they were more deserving due to their fitness and wealth. The Prophet Shammil explained that Allah's selection is based on knowledge and stature, not material wealth. Allah bestows His Kingdom upon whom He wills, and He is sufficient for all needs, all-knowing.

Furthermore, the Prophet Shammil informed them of a sign of Allah's Kingdom – the arrival of At-Tâbût, a wooden box containing Sakinah (peace and reassurance) from the Lord, along with remnants left by Moses (Mûsâ) and Aaron (Hârûn), carried by angels. This sign was to serve as evidence for those who truly believe.
