Question

The cobbler astrologer
Sittara wanted a magnificent jeweled robe like the astrologer's wife, so she talked her humble cobbler husband, Ahmed, into becoming an astrologer. He sold all that he had and purchased astrology instruments and went into the market. Through misunderstanding and coincidence, he solved two thefts and became famous, catching the eye of the king, who appointed him to solve a robbery. Again luck and coincidence play into his hands (in the manner of "Old One Eye") and he succeeds. The king rewards him with the hand of his virtuous daughter, and the former wife is left to fend for herself.

The cat who went to Mecca
(Animal fable)
After the king of the cats made a hajj, the king of the mice thought he should visit him, for he would have changed his former sinful ways. The other mice were not convinced, so he went by himself and found the new hajji praying. When he saw the mouse, he stopped praying and sprang into attack. The king of the mice reported to his subjects that the cat prayed like a hajji, but pounced like a cat.

Division of the prey
(Animal fable)
When the jackal, the fox and the lion went hunting, the jackal divided their prey evenly, but the lion growled at him and slapped his head, drawing blood. Then the fox divided the prey, giving everything to the lion. The lion asked "Who trained you in the law and taught you to divide so justly?" The fox replied that it was the crown of blood on the jackal's head that had instructed him.


The donkey driver and the thief
A thief steals a simpleminded farmer's donkey, then harnesses himself and tells the farmer that he just returned to being a man at the end of a seven-year hex. A few days later when the farmer attempts to buy a new donkey, he recognizes his old beast which the thief had sold and chastizes him for getting himself hexed again.

The guest who ran away
A Beduin has his wife prepare two chickens for a weary traveler, but she cannot resist a taste for herself and her son, and they wind up "tasting" both chickens to the bones. To cover the crime, they arrange for the traveler to overhear a discussion in which the son says that when guests arrive, his father cuts off both their ears and roasts them over the fire for him to eat. The traveler quietly tiptoes out of the tent. When the Beduin asks why, his wife replies that the guest had stolen the chickens. The Beduin gave chase, saying "Let me have one at least!"

Answer 1

Fables yes and from Mecca even the center for Messianic belief in Islam thanks.

Fables and truth teach messages-will you have at least one good answer when we stand before the Messiah Jesus

as your story tells of desire to change from past sinful ways-yet I ask how does one erase a sin-if you walk 100 elder women across the street you get a commendation, but if the 101 you knock down and kick you go to prison-good works can never earn heaven --and this is more than a donkey driver and the thief=What is clear in the Koran is that Jesus was born from a virgin, lived sinless, and is comming back to reign over the world as the Messiah. so I prayed "God help me to understand the truth, amen"
This is vital to tie writings from or into the Holy Bible which Jesus concluded saying if anyone tries to add to the word of God they will have plagues on their life. Which are books said to be an extention of the Bible and the Word of God with or without new revelations. The Jewish people have done this with the Talmud-which says Jesus was an illigitimate child, the Koran which says Isaiah is wrong and the Messiah will not die for our sins and that instead we can earn salvation-this is interpreted by some extended writings and used to say killing of non muslim infadels-which includes those that have let Jesus into their heart as he asks us to do for salvation, by Muslem terrorists (most muslims try to live peaceful/Salam) .
The Shiite & Sunny Muslims after one group blew up the other groups mosque in January 2006 began blowing up each others mosques and dragging their leaders out and murdering them-so the idea of terror has deep roots in Islamic beliefs. Jesus on the other hand taught to love even your enemies and do good unto them, forgive and help them to salvation. (the gospel of John)
What helped me through Islamic teachings as a Jew was to see that Isaiah 7:14 was true -Jesus as promised was born of a virgin a miracle and is God with us (the meaning of the promised one in Hebrew=emanuel)
Isaiah 9:6 "Unto us a child will be born, a Son given, and he will be almighty God, and the prince of peace."
Isaiah 52:13-53:12 "He will be exalted and made very high. He will lay down his life to make atonement for our sins. He will die with the wicked and be burried with the rich."
All of which is fulfilled in Jesus who is awaited for His Messianic Reign over more than our hearts as we come to know him as best friend, good shepherd and Messiah Savior today.
The fact that these prophecies are included in the Jewish Scriptures and even rejecting Jesus they were unable to remove these prophecies made before the birth of Jesus. This further proves the Jewish Scriptures was not tampered with, as it would be the very thing that his rejectors the Jewish people would have removed.
I had to believe his Words spoken from heaven by Jesus and recorded by the good prophet John (Revelation 1:1 &3:19&20) "I Jesus love you, and ask you to repent from your sins quickly, Behold I stand at your heart door and knock, if you open the door and let me in I will have fellowship with you and you with me."
Jesus became my Messiah and best friend when I prayed this prayer "I open my heart door to you as you ask, I am sorry for my sins even one lie, help me do better and be my friend, amen."
Since that day I have grown in my love of Jesus and his love for all mankind, be they in truth or in error.
As in the Hadith which explains and clearifies Mohamed's message from one he sadi was an angel who told him to marry a 9 year old little girl Aisha when he was 40 years old along with his other wives-yet Jesus said one man for one woman. Believe in Jesus as Muslims are told to do, and also to those that reject him and think they can be good enough to earn their own salvation =not to need the salvation which the Messiah Jesus freely offers. .

Stories and truth are important in life we live and learn or we learn not to live..
