The first book I ever finished and still remember to this day is likely Kisah Nabi-Nabi dan Mukjizatnya, authored by an unknown writer. During school breaks, instead of eating in the canteen, I would go to the library, especially in primary school, to read illustrated books that captivated my imagination with their paintings and drawings. The book contained minimal text and information, focusing more on depicting events through illustrations, which I would quickly scan during the brief breaks I had. From my perspective, I still recall some events, such as those involving Prophet Moses and Prophet Yunus, along with the remarkable abilities that Allah bestowed upon them during their prophetic times long ago.
I initially did not recognize the prophets Moses and Yunus, but after reading about them in Bahasa Malaysia and seeing the accompanying illustrations, I found connections to significant events. The depiction of Moses with his staff and the snake is particularly striking, especially in the context of Pharaoh’s reign, during which Pharaoh refused to acknowledge and worship the one true God. The earlier illustrations reveal that Moses was raised in Pharaoh’s palace at a time when Pharaoh sought to eliminate male children, driven by prophecies from magicians predicting threats to his rule.
In the Islamic perspective, the Prophet Moses is saved by Allah during events where some of the prophet’s wives are raising a male child. As Moses grows into adulthood, it is understood that Allah grants him a brother who speaks on his behalf. Additionally, his powerful staff transforms into a large snake, surpassing all the other snakes of the Pharaoh when the Pharaoh himself refuses to acknowledge his wrongdoing.For the prophet Yunus, I discovered that he was sent to a city to preach for its people to return to God. However, I learned that he was saved by a large fish, a manifestation of Allah’s protection. The book describes how this big fish concealed him in the vast waters, thereby rescuing him from impending disaster.
In conclusion, the stories of the prophets I used to read were primarily illustrations, and I’ve likely absorbed new insights after revisiting them not long ago. However, I find it challenging to recall the specific story from the book that was illustrated. I am trying to remember the book itself, particularly the images of snakes and some fish that I used to read at that time. I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comment section.
