  1. Prophet Sulaiman (ah)

  2. Prophet Sulaiman (alayhis salam) was very just even as a young boy, and he became well known and respected for his wisdom.

  3. When he became a man, Allah made him His prophet. Allah also taught him to understand the languages of birds and animals. Yet in spite of his wisdom and many wealthy possessions, Sulaiman (alayhis salam) never forgot Allah. He knew that all goodness comes from Allah.

  4. Thus, he always told his people: "Thank Allah for the good He has given you and for His generosity. Worship Allah and do good deeds."

  5. Miraculous Gifts from Allah • Some of the great and miraculous gifts that Allah gave to Sulaiman, alayh as-salaam, were:

  6. Great wisdom and knowledgecommand over the wind, so that it blew at his order,

  7. many Devils and Jinns were made obedient to him so that they built buildings for him and dived into the waters to gather pearls,

  8. knowledge of the speech of the birds and ants was given to him, and he was given a great kingdom in the land.

  9. On one occasion, Sulaiman, alayh as-salaam, overheard the ants alerting each other to his approaching army, saying that they, that is, the ants, should hide in their little homes in the ground so that they would not be accidentally run over by the army. Sulaiman, alayh as-salaam, was very amused at hearing this and immediately asked Allah to show him how to thank Allah for the great blessing that he had been given, and asked Allah to grant him to do good deeds that would lead to Allah’s pleasure!

  10. One day, Sulaiman (alayhis salam) called all the birds to gather round him, but as he glanced through the flock, he noticed that the Hud hud bird was not there.Sulaiman (alayhis salam) waited for some time, and just as he was deciding not to wait any longer, the Hoopoe suddenly came flying in and sat himself down next to Sulaiman.

  11. I have come from a far-away city called Saba (Sheba)", the Hudhud said. The people there are very rich and they have a Queen who sits on a magnificent throne. These people worship the sun and believe that hey are right to treat the sun as God.

  12. Sulaiman (alayhis salam) then wrote a letter to the Queen of Saba and sent the Hud hud to take it to her. • When the Queen of Saba received the letter, she called all the wise men of the city to her. • "I have received a letter from Sulaiman (alayhis salam)" said the Queen. "In it, Sulaiman (alayhis salam) writes that we should believe in Allah and worship only Him. What would you advise me to do?"

  13. We are very powerful and can make war against Sulaiman (alayhis salam), but you have to decide yourself what is to be done, the wise men answered."But a war could cause destruction to our city, and our best warriors will turn into cruel fighters", the Queen protested. "Therefore, I would prefer not to make war. Instead, I will send Sulaiman (alayhis salam) a present".

  14. When the messengers of the Queen of Saba arrived with the present, they were very surprised because Sulaiman (alayhis salam) became very angry. "What Allah has given me is much better than all these riches. Go to your Queen and take her presents with you!"

  15. When she heard the Sulaiman (alayhis salam) had refused her valuable gifts, the Queen of Saba, in her turn, was surprised. So, she decided to go to see Sulaiman (alayhis salam) for herself. She called her people and made preparations for the journey to Sulaiman (alayhis salam)'s city.

  16. When the Queen arrived, Sulaiman (alayhis salam) explained to her about Allah and she realized how wrong she had been to worship the sun."You are right", she told Sulaiman (alayhis salam), "From now on, I shall worship only Allah. He is our only Lord and we should obey only Him".

  17. Sulaiman (as) built the famous • Masjid ul Aqsa in Palestine
