The Eye Opening Story of Malek Bin Dinaar.
Have you ever heard the story of a man who went from a life of sin… to becoming one of the most revered saints in Islamic history?
This is the incredible true story of Malik Bin Dinar—a man who found light in the darkest of places.
In the bustling city of Basra, centuries ago, lived a man named Malik bin Dinar. Known to many, but not for piety… for he was a police officer, harsh in manner—and addicted to alcohol.
Yes, you heard right. Malik, who would later be known as a great scholar and worshiper, was once a man completely lost in worldly pleasures. He drank heavily, day and night. He feared no one, remembered no God. But there was one thing he loved more than anything—his little daughter.
She was the joy of his heart. A sweet little girl who would toddle into his room, playfully knock over his wine glasses, and giggle. She was too young to speak much, but even her innocent actions reminded him of what he had become.
And then… tragedy struck.At just two years old, his precious daughter fell ill… and died. Malik was devastated. His world crumbled. He turned to alcohol even more, drowning his sorrow in the same poison that had hollowed his soul.But one night—That changed everything.
That night, he drank until his body gave up and collapsed into sleep.But this sleep… was no ordinary sleep.He found himself in another world.A world unlike any he had seen before.People were running—screaming, crying.It was “Yawm al-Qiyamah”—the Day of Judgment.And Malik was there, confused, terrified.
Suddenly, he heard a sound behind him. A horrible, hissing, slithering sound.
He turned around—and his heart nearly exploded from fear. A giant serpent, dark, hideous, and monstrous in size, was charging toward him!.It opened its mouth, revealing fangs dripping with venom. It wanted him.
Malik turned and ran. He ran through deserts, valleys, and cities—but the snake kept coming, faster, closer, ready to devour him.He saw an old man with a glowing face and a white beard. Malik cried out, “Help me! Save me!”
But the old man sadly replied, “I am too weak to help you. Run… quickly!.
He kept running—until he reached a mountain. At the top, he saw children—hundreds of them. One of them saw him and screamed out:
“Father! Father! Come up here!” It was his daughter. She came running down, embraced him, then turned to face the giant serpent. She raised her hand and said a single word. The snake stopped. Trembled. Then vanished. Malik, trembling, looked at his daughter and said, “My child… what was that? What is happening?!” She looked at him—her eyes deep, knowing, and mature beyond her years. And she said. Father… that snake was your sins. You raised it. Fed it. Protected it with every act of disobedience you committed. It grew because of you.”
“And the old man? That was your good deeds. You neglected him. So he was too weak to help you.” “Father… it’s not too late. Allah gave you this dream so you could wake up. Before the real Judgment Day comes.
Malik screamed. He woke up with a jolt. His clothes were soaked with sweat. His heart pounding.It wasn’t just a dream. It was a warning. He rose, shattered his wine glasses, left his old life, and turned to Allah with a heart full of repentance. From that day, Malik Bin Dinar became a changed man. A scholar. A worshiper. A lover of the Qur’an. A man who would one day inspire thousands.
Because that’s the mercy of Allah. No matter how far you’ve fallen… He still leaves the door open.Malik entered that door. Will you , If this story touched your soul, share it with someone else. Let the message spread—it’s never too late to return.
