 Story of Bal`am bin Ba`ura </h2>
Bal`am bin Ba`ura' was a man from the Children of Israel.'' "He was Sayfi, son of Ar-Rahib.He was a man from Al-Balqla' (a province of Jordan) who knew Allah's Greatest Name. He used to live in Bayt Al-Maqdis whom Allah had given the knowledge of His Ayat, but he abandoned them.He was one of the scholars of the Children of Israel whose supplication was acceptable.  
They used to seek his lead in suplication in times of difficulty. Allah's Prophet Musa sent him to the King of Madyan to call him to Allah. That king appeased him and gave him land and gifts, and Bal`am reverted from the religion of Musa and followed the king's religion. He was a man from the city of the tyrants (Jerusalem)

When Hazrat Musa and those with him went to the city of the Jerusalem, the cousins of Bal`am and his people came to him and said, `Musa is a strong man, and he has many soldiers. If he gains the upper hand over us, we will be destroyed. Therefore, supplicate to Allah . He prevents Musa and those with him from prevailing over us. 
' Bal`am said, `If I supplicate to Allah that He turns back Musa and those with him, I will lose in this life and the Hereafter.' They kept luring him until he supplicated against Musa and his people, and Allah took away what he bestowed on him 
He became interested in the adornment of this life and its delights. 
when Musa entered the land of Bani Canaan in the area of Greater Syria the people of Bal`am came to him, saying, "This is <a href="http://dehleez-e-islam.blogspot.com/2013/04/proof-of-life-after-death-hazrat-moosa.html">Musa,</a> son of `Imran . He wants to drive us out from our land. We are your people and have no other dwelling area. You are a person whose supplication is acceptable (to Allah), so go out and supplicate to Allah against them. 
'' Bal`am said, "Woe to you! Here is Allah's Prophet (Musa) with whom the angels and believers are! How can I supplicate against them when I know from Allah what I know'' They said, "We have no other dwelling area.'' they kept luring and begging Bal`am . 
So Bal`am was tempted by the trial and went on his donkey towards Mount Husban, which was behind the Israelite military barracks. When he was going on the Mount for a while, the donkey sat down and refused to proceed. Bal`am got off the donkey and struck it until it stood up again and he rode it. The donkey did the same after a little while, and he struck it again until it stood up. 
So he proceeded and tried to supplicate against Musa and his people. However, Allah made his tongue mention his people with evil and the Children of Israel with good instead of his people, who protested, What are you doing You are supplicating for them and against us!'' Bal`am said, "It is against my will. This is a matter that Allah has decided.''  
Punishment 
Bal`am then said to them, as his tongue was made to loll out of his mouth, "Now I have lost this life and the<a href="http://dehleez-e-islam.blogspot.com/2013/02/life-after-death-in-islam-according-to_24.html"> Hereafter.</a>' 
Bal`am's tongue which flickered out of his mouth. Therefore, his example is the example of the dog, its tongue pants . It is driven away or not. So his example is that of a dog which pants whether it was driven away or left alone. The person described here does not benefit from the advice or the call to faith. 
Allah did not wrong them, but they wronged themselves by not obeying the Lord, being content with this life that will soon end, all the while seeking to fulfill desires and obey lusts. <a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="1"></a>
