Prophet Hizqeel (Ezekiel)
Allah Resurrects the Dead
Almighty Allah said:
"Did you (O Muhammad) not
think of those who went forth from their homes in thousands, fearing death?
Allah said to them, "Die." And then He restored them to life. Truly,
Allah is full of Bounty to mankind, but most men think not. (Ch 2:243 Quran).
Mohammad Ibn Ishaaq stated of Wahb Ibn Munbah said that when Allah took
Kalih Ibn Yofra (Jephtha) after Joshua, Ezekiel Ibn Buzi succeeded him as the
prophet to the Israelites. The people had fled from Palestine for fear of the
plague and settled on a plateau. Allah said to them: "Die you all,"
and they all perished. A few centuries passed, and then Ezekiel, passing by,
stopped over them, wondering. There came a voice: "Do you want Allah to
resurrect them while you watch?" He said: "Yes." Then he was
commanded to call those bones to join one to the other and to be covered with
flesh. So he called them by the power of Allah, and the people arose and
glorified Allah in the voice of one man.
Allah Resurrects the Dead Through Ezekiel
According
to Ibn Abbas, this place was called "Damardan." Its people were
inflicted with plague, so they fled, while a group of them who remained in the
village perished. The Angel of Death called to the survivors: "Die you
all," and they perished. After a long time a prophet called Ezekiel passed
by them and stood wondering over them, twisting his jaws and fingers. Allah
revealed to him: "Do you want Me to show you how I bring them back to
life? He said: "Yes." His idea was to marvel at the power of Allah
over them. A voice said to him: "Call: 'O you bones, Allah commands you to
gather up.'" The bones began to fly one to the other until they became
skeletons. Then Allah revealed to him to say; "Call: 'O you bones, Allah
commands you to put on flesh and blood and the clothes in which they had
died.'" And a voice said: "Allah commands you to call the bodies to
rise." And they rose. When they returned to life they said: "Blessed
are You, O Lord, and all praises is Yours." Ibn 'Abbas reported that the
dead who were resurrected were four thousand, while Ibn Salih said they were
nine thousand.
Hadith About the Plagues
Regarding plague, Abu Ubaidah Ibn Al-Jarrah related that 'Umar Ibn
Al-Khattab was on his way to Syria and had reached Sarg when the leader of the
Muslim army, Abu Ubaidah Ibn Al-Jarrah, and his companions met him and told him
of a pestilence that had broken out in Syria. 'Umar remember the Prophet's
(pbuh) saying: "If it (plague) be in a country where you are staying, do
not go out fleeing it, and if you hear it is in a country, do not enter
it." Umar praised Allah and
Muhammad
Ibn Ishaaq stated that we do not know how long Ezekiel (pbuh) stayed among the
Israelites before Allah took him away. After him, the Israelites deviated from
the right way of life, as they usually did, and deserted Allah's covenant with
them. They worshipped many idols, among them Ba'al, so Allah sent to them the
Prophet Elijah (pbuh).
