Samson, The Super Man
Ibn Kholdun in the book His date says that
Samson lived in the imperialist periods of the Palestinian nation. The
historian Ibn Atsir argues that Samson was among the followers of Jesus who
came from one of the Roman villages and lived during the reigns of Thowaif. Its
people are known as sculptors with tall buildings with giant pillars.
Samson was known for the strong. He also
got the nickname al Jabbar. He fought many battles against Palestinians. But
once he was caught and tied between two big pillars. When Samson moved his
hands, the two pillars collapsed and hit everyone who was there until they
died. After Samson died, the Israelites were dispersed until their offspring
raised their respective leaders.
It was narrated that Samson lived in the
idolatrous society. He was alone against them using a weapon from the chin-chin
bone. The weapon has successfully defeated thousands of its enemies. Samson is
known not to be killed with a variety of sharp weapons. He can only be defeated
by tying his own hair on his toes and hands.
When crippled, the king approached him to
see Samson who had been considered a nuisance in the city. The helpless Samson
could only pray at that moment. God listened to his prayer until God restored
his strength and Samson managed to tear down the giant pillars. Wallahu A'lam.
In another narrative, the legend is a
prophet of God named Syam'un. The Prophet's full name Syam'un al Ghozi has
miracles to soften the iron and can demolish the castle. The Prophet told him,
as he threw down a magnificent palace with his hands, he defeated a lot of
people, and Syam'un was killed at that time.
However, God revived the figure of Sham'un
and he soon repented for feeling guilty. Since then, Syam'un vowed to redeem
his sins by annihilating all the falsehoods and disbelief in his life and
preoccupied himself with worshiping Allah for a thousand months until his
death.
Indeed, the Prophet Sham'un is an unnamed
figure and his story in the Quran. However, his story has been included in the
book "Syam'un Asal Muasal Lailatul Qadr" by Rully Ferdiansyah quoting
the Messenger of Allah and some Islamic literature. In fact, one of the most
complete books on the story of the prophets, Ibn Katsir's Qashashul Anbiya
mentions without hesitation that Syam'un is indeed a prophet of God.
