Ethiopian girl guarded by lions

Subhan Allah!

Allah's help is always near.

A 12-year-old girl who was abducted and beaten by men trying to force her into a marriage was found being guarded by three lions who apparently had chased off her captors, a policeman said Tuesday.The girl, missing for a week, had been taken by seven men who wanted to force her to marry one of them, said Sgt. Wondimu Wedajo, speaking by telephone from the provincial capital of Bita Genet, about 350 miles southwest of Addis Ababa.

She was beaten repeatedly before she was found June 9 by police and relatives on the outskirts of Bita Genet, Wondimu said. She had been guarded by the lions for about half a day, he said.

“They stood guard until we found her and then they just left her like a gift and went back into the forest,” Wondimu said.

“If the lions had not come to her rescue, then it could have been much worse. Often these young girls are raped and severely beaten to force them to accept the marriage,” he said.

'Some kind of miracle'

Tilahun Kassa, a local government official who corroborated Wondimu’s version of the events, said one of the men had wanted to marry the girl against her wishes.
“Everyone thinks this is some kind of miracle, because normally the lions would attack people,” Wondimu said.

Why not? Animals are much more genuine than people these days. Certain cats in my neighbour will hiss at me while others will come purring for a stroke, no hidden motives. Would be the same with a lion, I suppose - at least I'll know where I stand with it, it'll either befriend me or eat me. :/

Although he has his face so close subhanAllah. Those teeth!

Yup.

I believe, that's happened because Allah ordered those lions to protect her.

[Abz2000]

Allah once made the lions peaceful for His Prophet Daniel pbuh and made them violent towards the unjust oppressors who plotted against Allah and His messenger. With the result that the king ruled by decree that everyone must submit to Allah, the Living God of the heavens and the earth.
