Prophet Solomon and the Queen of Sheba from "summary" of Stories of the Prophets (Peace be upon them) by Imam Imaduddin Isma’il Ibn Kathir
Prophet Solomon was a wise and powerful king who ruled over a vast kingdom. He was blessed with the ability to communicate with animals and control the forces of nature. One day, he received a message from a bird informing him about a kingdom ruled by a queen named Sheba, who worshipped the sun instead of Allah. Curious about this queen and her kingdom, Prophet Solomon decided to send a letter to her inviting her to embrace the true faith of Islam. The Queen of Sheba, upon receiving the letter, was intrigued by the wisdom and power of Prophet Solomon. She decided to visit his kingdom to see for herself if the stories about him were true. When the Queen of Sheba arrived at Prophet Solomon's kingdom, she was amazed by his wealth, power, and wisdom. Prophet Solomon invited her to a magnificent palace, where the floor was made of glass, and she mistook it for water. He then showed her the true power of Allah by demonstrating his ability to control the wind and speak to the ants. Impressed by Prophet Solomon's demonstrations and teachings, the Queen of Sheba embraced Islam and acknowledged the greatness of Allah. She realized that true power and wisdom come from Allah alone. Prophet Solomon and the Queen of Sheba developed a mutual respect and admiration for each other, and she returned to her kingdom as a believer in Islam.- Wisdom, and humility. It illustrates how true power and greatness come from submitting to the will of Allah and acknowledging His sovereignty. Prophet Solomon's patience, wisdom, and kindness towards the Queen of Sheba ultimately led her to embrace Islam and recognize the true path to salvation.
