The Owners of Garden

The following story is mentioned in Surah Qalam, Chapter 68 of

the Holy Quraan.

There once lived a wealthy and pious man who had a huge garden

with trees laden with fruits. After the fruits were picked, the poor

would come and the pious man would distribute the fruit.

This man had many sons who were not so pious. When their father

died, they discussed a plan of not distributing some of the fruits

among the poor.

One of the sons had a concern. What will they tell the poor people

when they gather to take their fruits next time? To avoid giving the

poor their share, one of them suggested removing all the fruits in

the night and thus clearing the garden before dawn so that nobody

could come and ask for his share. Everyone agreed to this

suggestion. Since they were not even afraid of Allah, they forgot to

say 'Insha-Allah', which means if Allah Wills.

They went to sleep. In the early morning, all of them got up and

hurried to the garden.

When they reached the garden and saw it was blackened, they said

this was not their garden, but when they saw there was no other

way around, they were wonder struck! Soon they realized the

situation and yelled: "Verily, we have gone astray," "Nay! Indeed

we are deprived of (the fruits)!" The best among them said: "Did I

not say to you 'Why not glorify (Allah)'?" He had been advising

them earlier against this act, for he had said it is only Allah who

would enhance their fruits if they continued to give away some of

them in charity.

All of them felt regretful over their misdeed. They turned, to one

another, in reproach and said: "Glory to our Lord! Verily we have

been doing wrong. Alas for us! We have indeed transgressed!"
