Chapter 124 Samson’s great deeds precede him, and Garris follows closely behind
A piece of wood is 5 meters long, twice as thick as a thigh, and weighs nearly a thousand pounds.
Ordinary people would not be able to lift it up even if they tried their best to suck the milk, but looking at the expression on Garris's face, he was quite relaxed and at ease.
No, is this considered a miracle?
The imams were stunned. This, is this powerful? Is it a miracle?
The strength of ordinary people shouldn't be counted as such, but is it really not a miracle that the man in front of me is so strong?
Anyone who dares to question that this is not a miracle should ask that person to lift it up!
"Ah? Is this, me, us, in the scriptures?"
an imam asked someone standing nearby.
"Does Darut count? He must be quite powerful after killing a giant..."
"Didn't he have God's blessing for killing the giant? It's impossible for him to rely on his own strength."
Another Imam replied.
The Darut they were talking about was David in the Bible. He used only a stone and a sling to hit Goliath on the forehead, knocking down the giant and cutting off his head with his opponent's sword. .
But to be honest, Goliath's height is not particularly exaggerated. According to records in the Bible, Goliath's height was six cubits and one span, with a total height of about 2.97 meters, nearly 3 meters.
If it is an earlier version, then Goliath's height is recorded as four cubits and one tiger's mouth, which is about 2.38 meters.
"Hey, Ilyas, please tell me something. Is this strength really a miracle in history? You have read a lot of books, tell us about it!" Several imams noticed the bearded man with a sad face. Imam, let the other person express his opinion.
Then I saw the bearded imam shaking his head as if he had given up on treatment.
"This is really a kind of miracle. Although it is not mentioned in the Quran, I do know that there was such a person who did something similar..."
[Samson and his parents went down to Timnath to the vineyard of Timnath, and they saw a young lion roaring at him. The Spirit of the Lord came upon Samson so powerfully that, even though he had no weapons with his hands, he tore a lion as hard as a goat. He did not tell his parents about this. 】
[Samson slept until midnight, and then he got up, took down the leaves, frames, and bars of the city gate, put them on his shoulders, and carried them to the top of the hill in front of Hebron. 】
——"Judges"
When the bearded Imam was talking about Samson's great achievements, Garris, who was not far away, had also adjusted his condition, picked up the huge tree, and rushed towards the gate of the tax collector's mansion. .
【A kind person, treat him with kindness;】
[To a perfect person, treat him with perfection. 】
[Crooked people, you treat them crookedly. 】
【You will save the poor people;】
[Haughty eyes, you humbled him. 】
【You will light my lamp;】
【Illuminating my darkness. 】
【I use you to rush into the enemy army】
In that loud noise, the door of the mansion, which had been completely closed and locked, was smashed into pieces.
Immediately afterwards, bursts of murderous cries came from the tax collector's mansion, followed by incredible screams and bursts of loud shouting.
Even the imam and villagers outside the mansion could hear clearly that the people in the courtyard were shouting: "Monster! Monster!"
After a while, the shouts of death in the courtyard gradually subsided, replaced by bursts of sobbing and moaning.
Just when the villagers and the imam were speculating about what terrible things had happened in the mansion, the Frank from before walked out of the mansion carrying a human head.
Behind him, there seemed to be a small stream flowing from the gate, but the stream was red.
Garris returned to his original position and threw the head in front of everyone.
Looking at the familiar head, many village women screamed for a while.
The imam and the villagers, on the other hand, opened their mouths with shock on their faces.
This head with a frightened face was none other than their acquaintance, the tax collector Faruk who had been running rampant in this land for twenty years.
"From now on, the agricultural tax on this land will only be collected once as the 'royal tithe'. From now on, there will be no need for tax collectors to collect taxes on behalf of the lord."
< br>
Exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes have been abolished. Everyone present knows that exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes have been abolished...
It's so crude, so simple, just kill the tax collector, then naturally no one will come to collect...
That's not it? ! Is the logic between cause and effect a bit too crude?
At this time, an Imam pulled the bearded face again and asked in a low voice: "Ilyas, you read a lot, tell me, is it worthwhile to kill through the yard of dozens of private soldiers single-handedly?" A miracle." The bearded-faced Ilias was already on the verge of tears when he heard the questions from the people next to him.
Is this a miracle or not? Even if the Frank is a false prophet and has no divine power, is there really a big difference in terms of his performance, whether he has it or not?
If that person wanted to strangle him to death, wouldn't he just raise his hand?
No wonder the Frankish man said to him with a half-smile before: You have never done any evil, so why are you asking for trouble?
Emotions, if this Frank wants to punish him, no one can stop him, right?
However, the bearded-faced Elias still said to the people on the side: "Actually, it really counts... It was still the same Samson. At that time, the Philistines burned Samson's wife and father-in-law with fire, and Samson took those two The Philistines were all cut in half."
"Later, the Philistines surrounded the Jews and demanded that the Jews hand over Samson. The Jews tied up Samson and sent him out. Then when Samson arrived at the Philistine camp, God took away the rope from Samson. Let them go... and then Samson took the pieces of bone alone and killed a thousand Philistines."
[Samson saw the donkey's new cheekbones, stretched out his hand to take it, and struck the man by the thousands. Said: I used the cheek bones of donkeys to kill, and the corpses were piled up into mounds. I used the cheek bones of donkeys to kill people, and the number of them was thousands. 】
——"Judges" 15:15-16
The story told by the bearded-faced Ilias is quite horrifying when compared with the current situation.
Especially now, there are still wet stains on Garris's body, and it is obvious that this blood cannot come from Garris himself.
Having an imam makes me feel like my outlook on life is shattered. No, this killing is so powerful, it’s really a miracle!
The bearded man answered that being powerful at killing people is not enough. You have to be as powerful as Gareth or Samson to be considered a miracle...
"Now, Leonard's minions have been put to death, and the ark leading to the new era is being built. If you are willing to get on the ship, just follow. If you don't want to, I can't help it."
Garris's words were quite indifferent, but the bloody smell in them could not be concealed.
Of course, strictly speaking, Samson is not actually a prophet, but only a judge.
The Age of the Judges was a transitional period in Jewish history, when the Jews had not yet established a unified monarchy.
They were scattered into several tribes, and tribes sometimes joined forces to fight against common enemies, or simply fought among themselves.
When invaded by foreign enemies, the leadership of the judges brought temporary stability and order to the Jews, and they were considered leaders sent by God to save the Jews.
But it is true that in the records of the scriptures, when the judges obeyed God’s teachings, they would have divine power given by God, and when the judges disobeyed God’s teachings, the divine power would also disappear...
< br>
If considered according to this standard, Garris's identity and mission are actually self-evident...
Therefore, after understanding the process, the bearded imam immediately loudly testified that Gairis was the messenger and servant of God, and that Gairis would lead everyone to build an ark leading to a new era. He was bound to follow Gairis to the end. Die!
He firmly supports any plan proposed by Garris! Whatever path Garris takes, he will follow it to death!
The Zakat distribution plan was easily settled.
Among the imams present here, after seeing the immediate shock of Garris smashing the door, smelling the blood, and seeing the head of the tax collector being thrown in front of and behind the crowd, who without eyesight would dare to question it?
It just so happens that they are all the Hanafis with the most "flexible" bodies.
Therefore, they unanimously stated that the current appearance of Qaris is something that has not been mentioned in the Quran and the Hadith, so it should be treated as a special event!
From now on, Garris will be recorded in their list of prophets!
They are the kind of prophets from previous generations who have not been recorded in the Quran, but who have appeared in history!
Gareth fully meets the characteristics of a prophet!
He is an upright person, a trustworthy person, a smart and clever person, a person who will not sin, and a person who tells the world the true meaning of God!
Allah, the Great, sent Qaris and asked the people to follow his example in keeping with his words and deeds!
In this way, Garis gained a group of religious figures who could be temporarily used to help him preach and preach among the Muslim community.
For this group of people, although Garris did not incorporate them into the cult, it was enough to temporarily use them as peripheral personnel.
Gareth is not worried about these people arguing wrongly.
Anyway, the main armed forces under his command are mainly Franks. Do the Franks care that the person they want to kill is an imam?
Secondly, Gareth did not really deprive them of their privileges, he just stipulated them in more detail.
Even for the issue of Zakat, a better solution was proposed than before: setting up a foundation with Zakat, keeping it in a unified way, and even increasing the value of the investment, and distributing it regularly every year.
For the imams, the money is probably more than what they received before.
After all, in the past, tax collectors would compete with them for the right to collect zakat, and the rich would shirk their money by saying that they had already given it to the poor, so they did not need to give it to the imam.
Gairis's move can be regarded as a way to incorporate all these imams by standardizing the Zakat system and using force to deter them.
With the support of such a group of imams who are very influential to Muslim farmers, it is much easier for Gairis to promote the constituency parliamentary system.
What's more, the parliamentary system is not that unfamiliar to Muslims.
The "Shaulah" meeting of the Prophet Muhammad was an early form of parliament. It is an advisory and deliberative mechanism used for decision-making and dispute resolution.
[Those who respond to Allah’s call and remain in prayer, settle matters by consultation among themselves, and give alms from the wealth We have given them. 】
——"Quran" 42:38
Centralization and autocracy is not the only answer to this world. Different lands nurture different people and ultimately produce different fruits.
