The Mystery Of Taboot E Sakina

A coffin for which the Jews excavated thousands of places. Throughout history, Muslims, Christians, and Jews have merely agreed on any point, but there is one thing on which they all agree, and that is Taboot E Sakina. This is a special ark, about which it is thought that it was revealed to give peace and relief to the believers. People call it the Taboot E Sakina because this ark gave peace and comfort to the hearts of the believers. In English, it is called The Ark of the Covenants. It was revealed on it. It was a large ark of Shamshad wood. Not only that, but it came from heaven to earth. Prophet Adam kept it with him until he passed away. When he passed away, he handed over the ark to his son and successor, Hazrat Shees. So the ark reached the children of Hazrat Shees. From there, Taboot E Sakina finally reached Prophet Yaqub.
Then it became the property of Bani Israel and came to Prophet Musa (peace be upon him). Years later, in the desert of Sana’a, Prophet Musa (peace be upon him) built a tent of worship for his community. Inside this tent, a small place was kept to keep Taboot E Sakina. Later, at the same place, Prophet Dawood (peace be upon him) and Prophet Suleiman (peace be upon him) built a magnificent place of worship. Inside this place, a building was built to keep the Taboot, which was called the Haikal, famously known as Haikal e Sulaimani. This structure was built with the help of Jinns, and the walls were decorated with precious stones, rubies, zumur, and gold and silver tablets.
The temple was so bright and shining that even at night, there was no need for additional lighting. The special room where the Taboot E Sakina was kept was called Al-Quds. It is said that what was there in this Taboot, due to which Bani Israel considered it holy. It is known that in this Taboot E Sakina there were signs of Prophets (peace be upon them). These included pieces of Torah, the shirt of Hazrat Yusuf (peace be upon him), the kuba of Prophet Haroon (peace be upon him), the stick of Prophet Musa (peace be upon him), and the ring of Prophet Suleiman (peace be upon him). Apart from this, there were carvings of the faces of many Prophets. This ark became a source of immense honor and blessings for Bani Israel.
When Bani Israel campaigned against infidels and their hearts would beat with fear on seeing the huge army of their enemies, they would keep this Taboot in front of them. After this, so much mercy and blessings would come their way because of the Taboot that it would spread to the Bani Israel. It used to fill the hearts of the youth with peace and tranquility. Their fear-filled hearts used to become as strong as rocks, due to which they used to win every war. Moreover, whenever Bani Israel faced any difficulty or problem, they used to keep this Taboot E Sakina in front of them and used it as a means. When they prayed to God with this Taboot in front of them, their prayers used to be accepted, and every problem used to go away. As long as this Taboot E Sakina remained with Bani Israel, they prevailed over other communities. In short, Taboot E Sakina was a source of prosperity and blessings for Bani Israel. So when Bani Israel got entangled in various sins and disobedience and Kufr spread among them, they became the victims of God’s wrath due to their bad deeds. Infidels attacked them with a huge army. These infidels massacred Bani Israel and completely destroyed their settlements. The buildings were demolished, and the entire city became desolate. The holy Taboot E Sakina was also confiscated.
They threw the holy Ark into the garbage bin. However, their act affected the people of their community very badly, due to which they were afflicted with various diseases and suffering. As a result, five cities of their community were completely destroyed and abandoned. Various diseases spread in them, which made those infidels believe that they were being punished for disrespecting the Taboot E Sakina. This realization opened the eyes of those infidels, and they loaded the holy Taboot E Sakina towards the settlements of Bani Israel.

ALLAH says: Four angels were appointed who delivered this holy ark to the Prophet of Bani Israel, Prophet Shamil. Thus, the lost order of Bani Israel was restored once again. As soon as this ark was returned to Bani Israel, they regained their lost honor.

ALLAH has mentioned this incident in Surah ul Baqarah in the Holy Quran. But the Jewish community was such a rebellious community that it was often involved in various kinds of evils. Therefore, when once again Kufr and Shirk prevailed among them, a king, sent by ALLAH, descended upon them with a tremendous wrath, and he attacked Jerusalem and completely destroyed the city. It was set on fire, and between five and six lac Jews were massacred. As a result of these attacks, the Taboot E Sakina disappeared and is missing till date. The Jews have different views and speculations In their opinion, after the attack, the Taboot E Sakina was taken to Africa, and it was kept in a church in Ethiopia, where it is believed to still exist. Others believe that some king buried this coffin in the mountains of Japan.

Another view presents that this ark is buried somewhere in the palace of Prophet Suleiman, which is missing at the moment, and it is believed to be in Palestine. In fact, the Jews have been searching for the base of this palace for a long time, which is called the Haikal e Suleimani.
The search for it remains a major focus of both the Jewish and Muslim communities. On the other hand, the Shi ah Muslims believe that Taboot E Sakina remained with Ahl e Bait for a long time. It was then inherited by Imam Mahdi, with whom this Ark was presented to appear on the Day of Judgment. It is believed that victory over the Jews will be achieved through this Taboot e Sakina. However, this view is based on the fact that only ALLAH knows the exact location of this Ark, but it is certain that the day the Ark will be revealed to the world will be a day of major change.
