After asking Allah for forgiveness, Prophet Sulaiman عليه السلام prayed for a kingdom unlike any that would follow him. The Qur’an then describes jinn and devils serving within that divinely granted dominion as builders, divers and other workers, while rebellious ones were restrained. Their service existed only by Allah’s permission and control. The story later sets a decisive boundary: after Sulaiman’s death, the jinn themselves were shown not to possess knowledge of the unseen.

The Qur’an recounts that Prophet Sulaiman asked Allah for forgiveness and for a unique kingdom. Immediately afterward, Allah subjected the wind to him so that it moved by his command wherever he directed it. The Qur’an describes that wind as both gentle and forceful in different contexts and states that its morning course equaled a month’s journey and its evening course another month’s journey.

The Qur’an presents the final episode of Prophet Lot عليه السلام as the climax of a long struggle against open corruption and rejection. After his people demanded the punishment he warned them about, divine messengers came to him in the form of guests. Lot was distressed when the townsmen rushed toward his house, but the messengers revealed that they were angels and assured him that the attackers would not reach him. He was commanded to leave by night with his household, except his wife. By morning the condemned settlement was overturned and struck with marked stones of hard clay, while Lot and the faithful were saved.

The Qur’an tells how Hud عليه السلام called the powerful people of ‘Aad to worship Allah alone, but they rejected him, boasted of their strength, and demanded the promised punishment. When a cloud approached their valleys, they welcomed it as rain. Instead, it was a devastating wind sent by Allah, imposed for seven nights and eight days. ‘Aad were destroyed, while Hud and the believers were saved by divine mercy.

The Qur’an recalls a terrifying covenant scene from the time of Moses: Allah took a firm covenant from the Children of Israel and raised the Mount above them. In Surah al-A‘raf, the mountain appeared over them like a canopy and they thought it was about to fall. At that moment they were commanded to hold firmly to the revelation given to them, remember its teachings, and live by it with reverence. Classical commentators identify the scripture in this setting as the Torah and explain “with strength” as seriousness, obedience, and committed action.

Divine salvationMercy or blessing
The Qur’an remembers a period in the story of the Children of Israel when Allah directly shaded them with clouds. Al-Baqarah 2:57 states the blessing plainly, while Al-A‘raf 7:160 repeats it in an explicit Moses-and-his-people setting alongside water, manna and quails. Classical tafsir understands the cloud-shade as protection and relief during the wilderness period. The Qur’an, however, leaves the exact physical nature and duration of the cloud unspecified, keeping the focus on Allah’s direct care and provision.

After Allah delivered the Children of Israel from their enemy, the Qur’an recalls another form of divine care: clouds gave them shade and manna and quail were sent down as good provision. They were told to eat from what Allah had provided and not to transgress. Yet later they complained that they could not continue with one kind of food and asked Moses for ordinary produce from the earth. The episode therefore joins extraordinary provision with a lasting lesson about gratitude, restraint and recognizing the value of a divine gift.

The Qur’an records a powerful act of divine provision during the journey of the Children of Israel. When the people needed water, they turned to Prophet Moses, and Moses sought water from Allah for them. Allah commanded him to strike the rock with his staff. Twelve springs then burst forth, and each tribal community knew its own drinking place. The miracle answered an urgent need while also bringing order to the community, and the Qur’an closes the scene by reminding them to eat and drink from Allah’s provision without spreading corruption.

The Qur’an presents the rescue of Moses and the Children of Israel as a dramatic act of divine salvation. With the sea ahead and Pharaoh’s army behind, Moses trusted his Lord. By Allah’s command he struck the sea with his staff; it split into towering parts and a dry path opened. Moses and all those with him crossed safely, while Pharaoh and his pursuing forces were drowned.

The Qur’an presents the white hand of Prophet Moses as a carefully staged prophetic sign. After the staff had been transformed before him, Allah commanded Moses to draw his hand to his side or place it through the opening of his garment. When he brought it out, it appeared strikingly white without disease—another divine sign. Allah then sent Moses to Pharaoh with the staff and the white hand as two proofs. When Pharaoh demanded visible evidence, Moses displayed the hand openly and it appeared white to everyone watching.

Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim preserve a remarkable event in Abu Bakr al-Siddiq’s home. The Prophet ﷺ had asked the Companions to share their food with the poor people of al-Suffa, so Abu Bakr took three guests home. When they finally ate, every morsel taken was followed by more food rising from beneath it. All ate their fill, yet the meal became greater than before. Abu Bakr’s wife described it as roughly three times the earlier amount, and the remaining food was later taken to the Prophet ﷺ and fed twelve groups of people.

Classical sources preserve a famous report from al-Hirah in which Khalid ibn al-Walid was warned about poison. A direct eyewitness route through Qays ibn Abi Hazim says that poison was brought before Khalid; he asked what it was, was told it was poison, said “In the name of Allah,” and drank it. Other early routes place the scene at al-Hirah and report that it did not harm him. Ibn Hajar later treated the event as a special karamah of Khalid.
