ANTIOCH Verses 20-30

      The foregoing story continues here by the coming of a new character upon the stage. A young carpenter named HABIB,came running from the outskirt of the town and said:- ``O, people! Follow the apostles. Follow them who do not ask you any reward, and who are guided.''

      The young man was threatened by the arrogant chiefs and influentials who were among the audience. They told him to stop and leave the apostles to whom they had augured ill omen superstitiously. But the young man insisted upon his assertion saying:-

      ``Why should I not worship Him who has created me and all of you will have to return to Him? Should I take your false gods apart from Him, that if the Merciful Lord intended a loss. Their intercession will not avail me anything, nor can they deliver me? In that case I would be in a manifest error.''

      Some of the rascals by the order of their arrogant chiefs rushed upon him when he bravely said:-

      ``I have believed in your Lord! Then hear me you all!''

      The rascals and mean fellows, beat him to death, and he was martyred.

      As soon as Habib was killed for the cause of God, it was said to him enter the kingdom of your Merciful God, which is typified in Qurän by gardens of rest and beauty. In his utmost happiness the clear, noble soul, exclaimed:-

      ``O, would that the people who killed me could only know that my Lord forgave me and brought me among the honoured ones.''

      After that, it was not needed to seize them by an armed force, for retaliation against their crime. Only a single cry of terror rang harshly in their inner or outer self, and vibrated them to such a resonance that they became noiseless and silent for ever!
