ummtaalib Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 The People of the Orchard Allaah speaks in Surah Qalam about the people of an orchard. There was a pious man from Yemen who lived in a place called Dowraan. He was very wealthy and owned vast orchards. Whenever he harvested his crops, he kept for himself only what was needed and gave the rest away to the poor. However, when he passed away, his sons stopped the practice because they wanted everything for themselves. They therefore decided to harvest the crops long before daybreak so that no poor people could come and beg from them. That night Allaah sent a hot wind, which ignited the crops and caused them all to burn to the ground. The sons proceeded for the harvesting early in the morning, only to discover that everything was lost. They then saw the error of their intentions and repented.
