The Story of Prophet Sulaiman (AS)

the story of prophet sulaman sulaman peace be upon him was the son of prophet dud peace be upon him daud was the wise king of Israel and a noble prophet of Allah s swt sulaman learned from his father's knowledge in judgment and often joined his father during hearings and meetings he was an observer and learned from him and occasionally contributed to the discussion too one day Prophet daud called his 19 sons in front of the Chiefs and academic scholar of his kingdom he then asked them questions nine different questions these questions were a test for the throne whoever was able to answer all of these would be his successor after he dies and Rule the Kingdom of Israel after him the sons of prophet dawud became flustered and couldn't answer these questions the youngest of the sons suan was the only one who stood up and answered every single one correctly impressed by these answers Prophet dud appointed his son sulaman to take charge after his death so with the passing of time sulaman inherited the Kingdom of Israel and was elected by Allah to continue his father's prophethood he begged Allah for a kingdom that would occur To None after him a kingdom so great no other could compare so then Allah the almighty granted Suleman his wish and bestowed upon Him many miracles for example he was given the ability to control the wind which he used to travel at incredible speed Deeds the power to control jins and make them obey his commands and he was also blessed with the ability to communicate with animals in his mission as a prophet of Allah suan rebuilt Masjid al- AA as for a place of worship to pray in from there suon and his followers made pilgrimage to Makkah on completion of their Hajj they traveled to Yemen where suan witnessed the Yemen incredible water channeling mechanism he desired to replicate this system in his own land but knew that they had insufficient Springs determined to find a way suan set out his hoop bird which had the ability to detect water underground time went on and the bird still had not returned and was nowhere in sight Suliman who grew increasingly impatient exclaimed why do I not see the hoop bird I will surely punish him with a severe torment or Slaughter him unless he brings me a clear reason soon after the Hoopa returned to sulaman with new news and told him that there is a queen named bilus who ruled over a kingdom that worshiped the son instead of Allah the prophet then sent out a letter to bilus to submit to Allah and come to the true word of God after the queen received the letter and read suliman's call back to Allah she was Disturbed and summoned her advisers for advice they told her that they were prepared to fight at her command however she was not aware of suliman's army so she did not want to take any any risks of a reckless War the advisers decided to send their Messengers to the prophet's Palace sending some valuable gifts with intentions of bringing back information about suleman's Army sulaman peace be upon him immediately leared of bil's response and decided to display the might of his army to her Messengers when The Messengers arrived all of suleman's army complete with animals such as lions and tigers Birds men and Jin gathered before them bil's Messengers were indeed stunned by the size and variety of suliman's army his incomparable strength and wealth was clear The Messengers eagerly presented bil's gift to suan with a pledge of friendship however suan knew their intention of stealing information about his army power he turned them away immediately and told them to return back to their Queen and warn her that she must submit to Allah or else he will destroy her country The Messengers soon returned to their Queen and conveyed Simon's message together with an account of the magnificence of his kingdom bilus the queen decided to meet sulaman in person together with her officials on receiving this news sulaman decided to show bilus and her officials the power of the Miracles bestowed to him by Allah so he asked his army for one of them to bring her throne one of his most powerful Gins insisted and brought the Throne of bilus in a blink of an eye sulaman himself was amazed by the miracle Allah had given him of controlling the Gins and praised his Lord immensely Suliman then instructed the Jinn to disguise her throne and to see whether she will be guided to truth or will be of those who is not guided he then ordered the jins to build a palace with floors made of thin but solid glass underneath through which rivers flowed when bilus arrived the throne immediately caught her attention having noticed bil's reaction to the throne suan asked if it is her throne bilus was thoroughly confused she wondered if her throne actually got here or if it was possible that someone replicated it she replied cautiously that it resembled hers very much Suliman judged her to be intelligent and diplomatic so he then invited her to his Palace when bilas was about to enter she mistook the glass floor for water and lifted her skirts sulaman told her that the floor is not water and indeed made from smooth glass bilus was amazed and realized she was accompanied by not just any ordinary man after spending some time with the prophet in his Palace she then realized her beliefs in praising the son was false and submitted to Allah bilus realized that suliman's kingdom was indeed unlike any Palace she had seen before she witnessed his wisdom and humility along with his mighty power and accepted him as the messenger of Allah she repented and embraced Islam along with her Nation Prophet Suliman lived and ruled in glory much of his work was performed by the jins as a punishment for making people believe that jyns had knowledge of the Unseen suan taught his people that Allah alone had such knowledge even Prophet suliman's death was a lesson in this regard the future is not known neither by the jins nor by the prophets but by Allah alone Suliman was seated holding his staff while he oversaw some jins working in a mine the jins who were terrified of suan were heavily focused on the building when Allah decided Ed to take suleman's life no one was aware of his death until Days Later a hungry ant began nibbling on his wooden staff as it ate on the staff broke and Prophet suliman's body that was leaning on it fell to the floor people ran to their prophet and soon realized that he had died long ago everyone at that moment then learned that had the Gins truly did not possess the knowledge of the Unseen as they wouldn't have tormented themselves working hard thinking suan was watching ing them the life and death of sulan is indeed full of Miracles from which mankind can derive incredible less and I leave you with a Quran verse about his death and the Miracle of showing that jins truly do not know anything and no one has the capacity of knowledge of this life and the next compared to Allah the [Music] Almighty for
