The God fearing King

First I want to tell you that this is a real story and it's about the Great King Hazrat Umar (R.A), who was the king 1300 years ago in Saudi Arabia. He was a great ruler and a God fearning king. Though he ruled over the half of the world, he lead a very simple life.

Hazrat Umar was a true servant of the masses. He often walked around in the city to find out ( or so he would know) the conditions of people and help them. He would often carry the load of others. One night he was walking around as usual when he heard some childern crying in a house. He knocked at the door, went in and saw a woman's children weeping. He asked the woman, "Why are these childern weeping?"
"The children are hungry" she replied. 
Then the woman became upset and said, " Our king is a very bad person and I will hold his neck on the day of resurrection." 
On hearing this, Hazrat Umar became nervous and said, "Nobel woman! Your king Umar did not know about your conditions and how could he know?"
"If he is not aware of our problems then why did he become the Khalif (King)?" On hearing this, he went back home and filled a sack with cereal and barley. Then he loaded it on his back and carried it back to the woman's home. That poor woman became very happy and said, " You should be our king, you deserve it more than Umar." ( or " You would be a better king than Umar." 

On hearing this, Umar's eyes welled up and a tear rolled down his cheek.


Later he gave a glorious statement
"Even if a dog died with hungriness under my reign, Umar will have to answer to God at the day of judgment.

 

 

Ali Khan great story!

Here is a tip:

You often use the phrase "on hearing this" in your stories. I like this phrase a lot but it's unnecessary. For example, you could write

"The woman said 'You should be our king, you would be a better king than Umar.'

Umar's eyes welled up and a tear fell down his cheek."

 

It is understood he is reacting to what she said even though if you don't say "On hearing this."

 

You did a great job, keep studying and practicing!
