The king has become old. He is very old. His eyes cannot see well these days. He can barely hear. He has no strength in his body. In this condition, it is not possible for him to rule the kingdom. The king decided in his heart which of his sons he will give the responsibility of the kingdom to. Then he will spend the rest of his life in quiet punishment.
The king had three sons. To whom should he give the responsibility of ruling this kingdom? The most intelligent, the most qualified, he should be given the responsibility of the kingdom. But who is the most intelligent? The king thought that a test should be done.
One morning. The king called his eldest son to his room. He said, "Father, I am old. Three days have passed and one day has come. Now it is my turn to say goodbye. I want one of you to be king." The eldest son stood there in a daze.
The king said, "But one thing! I will ask three questions. Whoever answers correctly will be worthy of sitting on the throne."
The eldest son asked, "Can I ask three questions, father?"
"Sure. "Of course."
The king said, "What is the most perfect thing in the world? Which is the fastest and the most beautiful thing?"
"You are the most perfect. The fastest is your red horse. And the most beautiful is your wife, our mother."
Hearing the answer, the king did not comment. He thought to himself, "I will ask the other boys the same question and see what they answer." The king called the middle son.
"I want to ask you three questions."
"Do it."
"If your answer is correct, you will be the king of this country after me."
"You ask the question, king."
"What is the most perfect thing in the world?"
"I am the most perfect. I have everything."
"What is the fastest?"
"My hunting dog."
"And what is the most beautiful?"
"The most beautiful is my wife."
"Okay, father, my question and answer with you is over."
Then the youngest son was called.
The king said, “I want to test you. I want to test your intelligence. I want to see how worthy you are to be king.”
“I am ready to take the test, king.”
“Okay. I will ask you three questions. If you can answer them correctly, you will be the king.”
“I am ready. Ask.”
“What is the most complete thing in the world?”
The little boy thought for a moment. Then he said, “Why, king? The world is filled with crops. When crops grow in the fields, the world becomes complete.”
“Okay! Okay! ! Now tell me, what is the fastest?”
“The fastest thing is our thoughts.”
The king corrected, “Why?”
“Because we see many things in one glance with our thoughts. Things far away, things near - what not?”
“This time my third question.”
“Tell me.” The little boy wanted to know the question.
“What is the most beautiful thing in the world?”
“Beautiful is that which is perfect. And look how perfectly Allah Almighty has created this nature. That is why nature is the most beautiful. Trees, mountains, rivers, seas - the creation of Allah Almighty. Do you see any beauty in these things? These are the most beautiful in the world.” The old king was happy.
“Ah, your intelligence is great. You have answered very well. I want to make you the king.”
The younger son sat on the throne of the king. He started ruling the kingdom according to the laws of Allah Almighty and within a few days his fame spread from side to side.
