Well, there it is folks the history unfolding. Although Obama is not connected with the slaves except for his skin he pays a visit to the place of slaves-trade.
His comment:
“The victims and victimizers and that is not the end of the story. We need to continue talking about events like slavery and HOLOCAUST.”
Very politically correct statement, you must admire that. However the fact is that the reason given for “continuing to talk about that” is so we dont forget.
OK, so we have not forgotten, or have we?
The same human passion of expansionism and colonialism continues to exist (slavery alive and kicking!!)and what is more these things are proposed as legitimate and worthy of taking seriously.
Man is not going to learn. It so happens I was contemplating today on the most interesting historical and religious figures of history e.g. David and Solomon or Dawood AS and Sulaiman AS.
Sulaiman AS prayed to God that he be granted a kingdom which has never been or will ever be granted to any other King. Allah granted that power for him. He had power over Jinns and had things done considered impossible for humans. He could travel by air (and fast) in those days. He had forces with all powerful human beings and Jinns etc. etc.
I was thinking he only built what Muslims call “haikal-e-Sulaimani” and did not build more than one palace for himself (as far as we know) and his 70 or so wives. He did not travel to the “end of the earth” or to the Moon or Sun or other space worlds (May be flying saucers had not been invented in those days). He asked for nothing else. He could have easily asked for kingdom of the whole earth and gotten it too, as I understand.
Marked contrast from the fir’owns we know of the past and the present. These were indeed God-fearing Kings and prophets.

I loved your take on Hazrat Sulaiman's life!!
Yes, something to think about.
We get used to hearing the stories forgetting that the prophets were all HUMAN and with all those weaknesses and such things except that they were innocent (M'asoom) from sins because Allah wanted them to be free from sins, (so they were 'made' that way and 'trained' for the task in different ways)
Actually I wrote Sulaiman AS history for a new Muslim, he never came back to ask for it but going through Qur'an and "Qasas-ul-Anbia" was very rewarding
