MCQ Detailed View

Hazrat Ilyas (A.S), a Prophet from the lineage of Bani Israel, was sent to guide his people away from idol worship and back to the worship of Allah (SWT). His nation, however, continued to defy the divine message and remained in disobedience. Due to their stubbornness and rejection of the truth, Allah withheld rain from them as a form of divine punishment.

Historical Islamic narrations mention that after Hazrat Ilyas (A.S) prayed to Allah, the drought continued for three years. Eventually, after 312 years of collective transgression and disobedience, Allah accepted the dua of Hazrat Ilyas (A.S) and sent rain to the region. This long delay symbolized both the severity of the punishment and the depth of their rejection of truth.

This event is significant in Islamic history because it reflects the power of sincere prayer from a Prophet, the patience required in the face of rejection, and the consequences of turning away from divine guidance. Hazrat Ilyas (A.S) remained steadfast in his mission, and the eventual rainfall marked not just relief from drought, but also a divine sign for the people to reflect and return to righteousness.
