00:17Well done! You memorized the route incredibly quickly.
00:21You deserve a reward
00:23Come on, stand up
00:25We will take a break
00:28And she enjoys a delicious meal
00:38Help yourself?
00:39Didn't you come?
00:43Do you want me to finish the story of Ezra's donkey?
00:47When he reached the cemetery, Ezra said, marveling at God's power.
00:52May God bring this back to life after its death.
00:56As soon as he finished the sentence, he fell dead on the spot.
01:00His donkey died at the same hour.
01:08Have you heard the news of Ezra's disappearance?
01:12Yes, I heard he hasn't returned since last night.
01:16Perhaps some villains happened upon him, attacked him, and killed him.
01:21He has nothing for the villains to steal.
01:24Furthermore, I possess an amazing ability to transform evil into good in people's hearts.
01:31Many believers in the Prophet Ezra
01:34They will go and look for him
01:36Are you going?
01:38No, no, I will not disrupt my business and work without compensation.
01:43And you?
01:44I will definitely be with them.
01:47The researchers need animals and donkeys to transport them on the sea voyage.
01:53It's a good opportunity for my business.
02:05Will you be searching through cemeteries as well?
02:09We must search everywhere
02:11But entering cemeteries at night is frightening.
02:16You're right
02:17We will simply call out
02:18Even if he is asleep, he will wake up and answer us.
02:36Mr. Aziz
02:38Mr. Aziz
02:41O Prophet of God
02:43No one answers
02:49Our Lord was afflicted
02:51He is unable to walk
02:56He is also unable to speak.
02:58Don't waste time
03:01He's not here
03:02Come on, let's look somewhere else.
03:07Forty years have passed since the disappearance of the Prophet Ezra.
03:11Most people have forgotten his story
03:22Most people have forgotten his story
03:27This is not the time for jokes.
03:30War is inevitable.
03:32Come on, come on, come on, we must flee to another land
03:36Yes
03:37The enemies are infidels and know no mercy.
03:42They burn copies of the Torah in every village they enter.
03:48What are you waiting for to escape?
03:51People need donkeys and beasts of burden for zero
03:55I will stay here until I sell everything I own.
04:00You will die in a war that has been captured
04:04Oh miser
04:05The enemies are Fatimah
04:08It's war
04:19Peace be upon you, my son
04:22Go away, Grandma
04:24The owner of the palace does not give money to the needy.
04:27May God have mercy on whoever owned this land.
04:31Listen to her verses, O Lady
04:34You've told me this story a thousand times.
04:37Here once lived a prophet named Ezra
04:40But that was a hundred years ago.
04:43No matter how the years change
04:46The original remains, my son.
04:49And goodness endures
04:53You are a delusional woman
04:55Go away
04:57Why would you want to please someone here?
04:59I await the return of the Lord of the Desert
05:04I just want to check on him
05:08And I will serve you when he returns
05:16One hundred years later
05:18Life returned to the Prophet Ezra
05:21And he found before him a being of glorious light
05:25He asked him, "How long have you been asleep, Ezra?"
05:28He replied, "I stayed a day or part of a day."
05:30He said, "Rather, I remained [here] for a hundred years."
05:34Look at your donkey, O Aziz!
05:36Look at what remains of the dust of his limbs
05:39Then consider how God hopes the dead will return to life.
05:44And just the matter alone
05:47Look how the dust seeks out the dust
05:51Then look how the skin covers it
05:54Get up, you donkey that's been dead for a hundred years!
05:58Your command, O glorious king
06:02What is this?
06:04My master's food is still the same, it hasn't spoiled.
06:07how?
06:09We died a hundred years
06:11My body turned to dust
06:15The grape juice remained unchanged.
06:18how?
06:19Ezra, peace be upon him, looked up at the sky
06:23Then he said
06:24I know that God is capable of all things.
06:28The market, the houses, and people's clothing have all changed.
06:34Only we donkeys remained the same.
06:43Nahouqa
06:44Nahouqa
06:45I am a porter
06:49What a mess! I don't know you.
06:55How can you not know me?
06:57We met a hundred years ago
07:00century?
07:06Do you imagine I am one hundred years old?
07:11May God forgive you
07:13Sorry
07:15I thought you were a donkey I know
07:18Her name is Nahouqa
07:20I am waiting
07:21This is my grandmother's name.
07:24Who lived during the time of the Prophet Ezra
07:28I'm a donkey
07:30I have been with my master for a hundred years.
07:34Then we sent today
07:37Why are you laughing, granddaughter of Nahouqa?
07:41You have a wonderful imagination
07:44I've never heard these jokes before.
07:48It's the truth
07:49Believe me
07:51I have lived a hundred years and returned to life
07:55Believe me
07:57Believe me
07:58It's the truth
08:00You donkeys
08:05Oh my grandmother
08:07Please leave me alone and don't bother me with your presence.
08:10Yes
08:12What bothers you about me passing by the house of Sayyid al-Uzair?
08:18Your master's house is no longer
08:21Ezra died a hundred years ago and people forgot him.
08:28I recognize this smell.
08:33It smells like a lady's
08:36This donkey reminds me of my master's donkey
08:41If I were to vent my anger
08:46Oh, my God
08:47What a pleasant breeze!
08:51You have my hope, my master.
08:56The Prophet of God smiled at her, saying
08:59I am Ezra
09:01He caused me to die for a hundred years, then He resurrected me to life.
09:08His voice
09:09but
09:11How can I be sure?
09:15Why did he excuse him?
09:18If you were my master, Ezra, the Prophet of God
09:24I pray to Him to restore my sight
09:30Ezra called upon his Lord
09:32O God, restore her sight
09:37my lord
09:38It's you
09:42It's you
09:44Thank God
09:46Thank God
09:48I will give good news to the people
09:50For your return
09:51I will give good news to the people
09:58This is unbelievable.
10:02Don't forget that Ezra is a prophet.
10:05And miracles happen to the prophets
10:08And how would they know that he was actually Ezra and not an imposter?
10:14He prayed for the old woman, and her sight was restored.
10:18This is not sufficient evidence; he might be a skilled doctor, or perhaps a magician.
10:25What do you think, O wise one?
10:28Ezra used to hide a copy of the Torah tablets in his garden.
10:35Our ancestors searched for it
10:38We also searched for it.
10:41We did not find it
10:43If he is the Prophet of God, Ezra
10:46Let him bring out the Torah for us.
10:49This is the evidence we accept.
11:02Why did the man sit down and what was he writing?
11:05He says he is writing the Torah to match the hidden version.
11:11I started to trust him
11:13We know that Ezra memorized the Torah in my heart.
11:17Forgive us, O Prophet of God
11:19We had to verify your identity.
11:23I never doubted this for a single moment.
11:27Glory be to Him who gives life and causes death
11:30Ezra lived a wondrous miracle
11:33I was a donkey, Ezra
11:36And the miracle happened to me too.
11:40Don't I find a little bit of interest?
11:43My master rises
11:45The book is complete
11:48And how can we know that they are Torah tablets?
11:52That's true, none of us knows the Torah.
11:56Wait, he's pointing at this big tree.
12:01Dust under it
12:05It's the same paintings.
12:08Yes, it is the Torah that has been lost from our hearts.
12:14We would never have known
12:16If it weren't for my master Ezra
12:20I apologize to you, O Prophet of God
12:23Forgive us, O Prophet of God
12:26And advise us
12:28Our Prophet Ezra
12:30I die a hundred years and am resurrected
12:34Then I find no one who cares about me
12:38What an injustice to donkeys!
12:43And so people came to know that Ezra was a prophet of God.
12:49You mean the son of God
12:52Ezra, son of God
12:55You must be joking
12:58No, I'm serious, porter.
13:00The people around us
13:02They say Ezra is the son of God
13:06And the proof of his sonship
13:09He brought him back to life.
13:12He was sent back to life so that people might see the power of God, the One and Only.
13:18He who has neither wife nor child
13:22Huh? Why are you so upset?
13:26I feel pain for my master
13:29He will not tolerate people disbelieving in his presence.
13:32He lived his whole life
13:35He advises his people, disciplines them, and teaches them their religion.
13:40They pay no heed to his advice or teachings.
13:44They were preoccupied with entertainment or trade, neglecting it.
13:48I am a witness to that.
13:53Huh? Calm down, porter.
13:58How can I calm down? How? God has made me a sign for people.
14:03My death and my resurrection are a verse
14:06People abandoned the verse and believed a lie of their own invention.
14:12There are no sons of God.
14:17This is breaking the fast and disbelief.
14:19I understand your right to rebel, but I fear for your life.
14:26Death was a relief; it was a long, peaceful sleep, free from such disturbances.
14:38Porter, where are you going?
14:43To the City of the Dead
14:45To the cemeteries
14:47I will remain by the tombstones until my time comes.
14:52The people there don't know how to lie.
14:56The people there don't know how to lie.
15:15Or like the one who passed by a village that was completely deserted.
15:21He said, "I am the one who brings this back to life after its death."
15:26God caused him to die for a hundred years, then resurrected him.
15:31He said, "How long have you stayed?"
15:33He said, "I stayed a day or part of a day."
15:36He said, "Rather, I remained [here] for a hundred years."
15:39So look at your food and drink, it has not spoiled
15:44Look at your donkey
15:46And to make you a sign for mankind
15:49And look at the bones, how we comb them
15:52Then we covered it with meat
15:54When it became clear to him, he said
15:57I know that God is capable of all things.
16:02God Almighty has spoken the truth.
16:07The people saw the dead being resurrected before them
16:11And the Prophet of God, Ezra, peace be upon him, returned to them.
16:15And the tortoises they had lost were returned to them.
16:18They neglected to act upon it.
16:21They paid no attention to all this goodness
16:23And they began to weave myths
16:26They repeat myths
16:28Claiming that Azrael is the son of God
16:31Exalted is God, a great exaltation.
16:34And so your grandfather lived a miracle long ago
16:37Only a few intelligent people paid attention to it.
