King Solomon and the baby




One day, the wise King Solomon was approached by two women arguing over a baby. Each claimed the child was hers. Unable to judge, King Solomon thought up a plan - he offered to cut the baby in half, giving half to the one and half to the other.


The first women agreed with the King: "Let the baby be neither mine nor hers, but divide it. If I can't have the child", she cried, "she can't have it either". The second women pleaded with Solomon not to hurt the child. "Give her the baby. I'd rather lose the child that see it slain".


Solomon knew immediately that this was the rightful mother. He returned the baby to her.

  1. Lessons learned = Set free what you love. It will return back to you.

    Note : Same story were told in our Holy Quran about the infant Moses A.S. who were released into the river by his beloved mother. But soon after, Allah S.W.T. return him back to her.
