Stories of the Prophets-DKI

Othman Ibn Affan (R.A.A.) was the third orthodox caliph and
is also known as "Thul- Nourain" which means "the owner of two
lights". He was the son-in- law of the Messenger and Prophet of Allah
(S.A.W.) who described Othman as "a shy man in front of whom the angels
feel shy". Othman achieved many distinctions in Islam, and the most
important was that he equipped the O'sra Army for the Muslims. Allah (S.W.T.)
said, "Who followed him in the hour of O'sra (Distress) ... " When
the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.) accepted Othman's tremendous gesture of support
for the army of O'sra, he said, "Nothing will harm Othman after
today." Then he added, "The one who has equipped the army of O'sra
will be one of the inhabitants of Paradise." Othman was known for his
generosity and piety. He was not very outspoken, but his few words were always
very meaningful. His leniency and tolerance were two great virtues, but they
were also two characteristics that the insurgents took advantage of so that
turned things very bad for him. Othman was the victim of those seeking power
and revenge. He was pious, lenient and tolerant, but they were eager to ruin
the very state of affairs !!! Let events reveal facts. It is a real drama
filled with plots, fear and blood on the one side and telling lessons on the
other.
