Savor & Soul: Cooking with Islamic Wisdom

  The Story In Herat, a pious widow from the family of the Prophet ﷺ was living in extreme hardship with her seven young daughters. Poverty forced them to migrate, and after a long journey, they reached Samarkand. Exhausted and helpless, they sat under a tree. Someone advised them: "There are two generous men in this city—a Muslim governor and a Magian (fire-worshipper). Seek help from them." They first went to the Muslim governor and said: "We belong to the family of the Prophet ﷺ. Please help us." The governor replied harshly: "What proof do you have?" The mother said: "I have no proof…" He dismissed them and shut the door. Broken-hearted, they went to the Magian. As soon as he heard their story, his face changed with compassion. He immediately told his wife: "Arrange the best accommodation and food for them. Treat them with honor." That same night, the governor saw a dream… He saw the Prophet ﷺ pointing towards a palace...

  Introduction Surah Al-Muddathir is one of the early Makki surahs that delivers a powerful warning to humanity.
