Ben Adhem was a noble, selfless, and virtuous person. He was one of
those people, who always thought of the good of others. He also had
a helpful nature.
(ii) This
line means that the people, which are like Abour Ben Adhem, meaning
which have a humble, helpful, selfless, noble, virtuous, and
peace-loving nature, should increase in number.
(iii) While
having a peaceful sleep in his room, Abou discovered that there was
an angel in the moonlight. The angel was writing something in a
golden book.

those who love God. Despite this, About was not depressed, or
disappointed.

the angel's presence, Abou became bold. What made him bold was the
fact that he knew that he had never committed a sin, and was peace
loving, so there is nothing he should be afraid of.
(ii) Abou
wanted to know that whether, or not, his name was written in the
list, of the people who loved God, given in the golden book of the
angel.
(iii) The
angel was very bright, and looked as beautiful as a lily in bloom.
The angel appeared in front of the moonlight, which made him even
more bright. He looked at Abou in a calm, soothing mood.
(iv) He
was writing the names of the people who loved God, and Abou's name
was not in this category. He was making a sort of list, of these
type of people.
(v) Since Abou never committed a sin, and never thought about the loss of someone, there was no way that he did not loved God, he thought. That is why, he insisted the angel to write his name as well.
PASSAGE-3
(i) Abou
founded the angel writing a list of people who love God, in a golden
book. The angel was very beautiful, and had a calm, soothing face,
while he did his work.
(ii) The
angel was making a list of names, which belonged to the people, who
loved God by all their hearts. The angel also wrote Abou's name,
when he insisted him.
(iii) No,
not at all, the angel's answer depressed Abou. Abou simply asked the
angel, in a peaceful, and calm voice, to also write his name, on the
list.
(iv) Abou
asked the angel to write his name as well, on the list of people who
loved God, since he believed that he also loved God by all his
heart.
(v) The
thing that surprised Abou was that, his name topped the list of
people who had the blessing of God. By this poem, the poet tells us
that, caring for others, and helping them selflessly, is the best
form of love, that we can give to God.
