00:00This is the story of a man who had everything, yet his heart was never at peace.
00:08He made a decision that changed the entire course of his life.
00:12He left everything in search of the truth.
00:18This is the land of Persia.
00:23Suleiman was born into a wealthy and respected family.
00:27His father wanted him to serve the fire temple.
00:30A fire that was never allowed to be extinguished.
00:34But Suleiman's heart was never satisfied with this path.
00:40One day, he saw a different form of worship.
00:43A worship that brought peace to the heart.
00:46For the first time, something inside him felt closer to the truth.
00:51He said, this religion feels better.
00:55That moment quietly changed the direction of his life.
01:00When his father learned about this, he tried to stop him.
01:04Suleiman was imprisoned.
01:06But truth cannot stay inside chains.
01:10He eventually escaped, leaving behind his home, his land, and everything familiar.
01:19Suleiman began searching for truth through scholars and righteous people.
01:23He stayed with one teacher after another.
01:27Each time he found guidance, the teacher would pass away.
01:30Yet his search never stopped.
01:33He kept moving forward, holding on to hope.
01:39Finally, he reached a righteous man who was nearing the end of his life.
01:43Suleiman asked where he should go next.
01:47The man told him that a prophet was about to appear.
01:51The man described the signs clearly.
01:55He will appear in Arabia, among palm tree gardens.
02:01He will not accept charity, but will accept gifts.
02:06And on his back will be the seal of prophethood.
02:12The signs of salvation, but how to find them.
02:19Suleiman set out in search of the prophet, but along the way, he was betrayed.
02:27He was captured and sold into slavery.
02:35And eventually brought to Medina.
02:40Medina was exactly as described, land of palm trees and silent expectation in the air.
02:53Suleiman waited there, not knowing how close he truly was.
03:00News spread that a man had claimed prophethood.
03:05Suleiman asked.
03:08Suleiman felt something inside him move.
03:11He remembered every sign he had been told.
03:15And he immediately went to see for himself.
03:24First test.
03:26He presented food and said it was charity.
03:30The man did not eat from it and shared it with others.
03:35This matched the first sign.
03:39Second test.
03:43Later, he brought food again and said it was a gift.
03:47This time, the man accepted and ate from it.
03:50The second sign was fulfilled.
03:56Final sign.
03:59Only one sign remained.
04:02Suleiman moved closer and looked carefully.
04:06And there it was.
04:08The seal of prophethood on his back.
04:13Everything he had been searching for was now in front of him.
04:18Suleiman finally recognized the truth and accepted faith without hesitation.
04:28The prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, helped in his freedom.
04:32And the believers stood with him.
04:36Suleiman was no longer a slave.
04:39He became truly free in every sense.
04:42And he found the greatest wealth, faith.
04:48This story teaches that the search for truth is never easy.
04:53It requires sacrifice, patience, and courage.
04:58But whoever searches sincerely with an honest heart will eventually find their destination.
05:07This was the story of Hazrat Suleiman Farsi, radiyallahu anhu.
05:13The journey in search of truth.
