The story of Malika Sheba
The hoopoe and the certain news
The hoopoe did not wait long until he arrived
After his absence from the procession of the Prophet Solomon, peace be upon him
The Prophet of God was Solomon, peace be upon him
He promised to punish him severely
If he has no excuse
The hoopoe said, explaining the reason for his delay
She got what she didn't get
I have come to you from Sheba with certain news
Ibn Kathir, may God have mercy on him, said
That is, I saw what you and your soldiers did not see
I have come to you from Sheba with certain news
That is, news that is true, true and certain
These words are directed by the hoopoe to the Prophet of God, Solomon
And the Prophet of God Solomon
God has given him a kingdom that no one in the world has given him
In response to his prayer for what he said
He said, “My Lord, forgive me and grant me a kingdom that no one after me should have.”
You are the illusion
So We subjected to him the wind, which ran smoothly at his command wherever it struck
And the devils are every builder and diver
Others are in handcuffs
This is our giving, so whoever or withholds it without reckoning
However, the hoopoe tells him
Put down what you did not put down
Yes
A young person may have knowledge that an older person has not attained
Science is its foundation that no one should mistake
It is what God Almighty says
And you have not been given knowledge except a little
And His saying, Glory be to Him, is Knowing above all those who have knowledge
It is not necessary for the elder to be more knowledgeable than the younger
Nor vice versa
Obtaining education is not related to age
The young may attain what the elder did not attain
The Prophet of God, Solomon, was not arrogant towards the hoopoe
He was the one who threatened to kill him
If he does not provide an excuse for his absence
But listen to him
Then he sought to verify the news he brought
Some popular proverbs in societies
People learned that the old is always more knowledgeable than the young
It is frowned upon for a young person to bring knowledge that an old person does not know
Or the younger one seeks advice from the older one and teaches him
This is false and contrary to Sharia law
Therefore, we have to verify the meanings of the popular proverbs that we use
There is truth and falsehood in it
As for what is in accordance with Sharia law, it is right
As for what contradicts the Sharia, it is invalid
It is not appropriate for a Muslim to present popular proverbs
It is a right that cannot be debated or responded to
Rather, it is not appropriate for him to present popular proverbs that contradict Sharia
On the purified law issued by the All-Knowing, the All-Wise, Glory be to Him
Parents must accept the truth that comes from their children
If it is in accordance with Sharia
They are not seen as children who have not yet known life
The young grows up and the ignorant learns
May God bless the fathers and mothers
By guiding their children and setting them on the path of the righteous
Children learn knowledge that neither fathers nor mothers know
Due to the difference in upbringing and environment
In this case, it is not appropriate to receive this blessing
By responding and being arrogant under the pretext that they are young
The father of Abraham, peace be upon him, signed
In such bad behavior in response to what Abraham, peace be upon him, brought
Abraham, peace be upon him, said to my father:
O my father, knowledge has come to me that has not come to you
So follow me and I will guide you to a straight path
But the old age into which Abraham’s father, peace be upon him, fell
It made him reject the truth that Abraham, peace be upon him, brought
He replied to his son by saying:
I desire you from my gods, O Abraham
If you do not finish, I will stone you and leave me
This response is similar or close to it
It is issued by some fathers and mothers with different wording
But they all revolve around this meaning that those who preceded them said
Rather, they said, “We found our fathers on his mother.”
We are guided by their tracks
Likewise, We did not send before you any warner to any town
Except that the wealthy said, “We found our fathers on his mother.”
We will follow their footsteps
The hoopoe spoke with knowledge that reached the level of certainty for him
He said to the Prophet of God, Solomon, peace be upon him
I have come to you from Sheba with certain news
Thus, we should speak and engage in knowledgeable dialogue
He reached the level of certainty among us
Especially if the talk concerns others
It is not enough to say
So-and-so said or I heard
Such expressions are condemned in Islamic law
Abu Masoud, may God be pleased with him, said
I heard the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, say
What a miserable ride a man claims
Narrated by Abu Dawood
Al-Mazhari, may God have mercy on him, said
It was usually a group of people
If they speak something they hear from others
They did not know his health
They say
They claimed that the case was Kate and Kate
Or so-and-so claimed that he heard such-and-such
Or he saw such and such
And so on
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, forbade them
To speak words that they do not know are true
Speaking with knowledge reaches the level of certainty
When talking about people, it is necessary to disparage them
In their symptoms or morals
Or challenge their religion
He described them with titles of innovation, coordination, or other names
A person is not exempt from being held accountable for his words
Under the pretext that this talk is widespread among people
And we have in the Al-Ifki incident
What happened to our mother Aisha is an example
The hypocrites cut us off in presenting it
Some of the Companions repeated this statement without confirmation
So the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, stayed over them
The penalty for defamation is eighty lashes
The Qur’an was revealed blaming the believers
In the way they deal with this great Efki
Teach them the etiquette of dealing with the news
Which criticizes the honor of Muslims when they hear it
And He said, Glory be to Him
If it were not for you hearing it
Believing men and women think of themselves as good
And they said, “This is your clear statement.”
This is the first literature
To think well of those whose history we know
With goodness, honesty, good character and religion
Let us not rush to believe anything
It contradicts what we know without proof
Ibn Kathir, may God have mercy on him, said
God Almighty said
Lula means hello
When you heard him
That is, what you said
Mother of the Believers, may God be pleased with her
Believing men and women think of themselves as good
That is, they measured those words against themselves
If it is not appropriate for them
The Mother of the Believers is more deserving of disavowal of him
By way of the first and the best
Second literature
Declaration to deny such news
Which disgraces the honor of believing men and believing women
And they said, “This is your clear statement.”
Al-Saadi, may God have mercy on him, said
This is a necessary assumption
When a believer hears about his fellow believer
Such talk
To exonerate him with his tongue
The one who says that is lying
And the Almighty said
Had they not brought four martyrs against him
Since they did not bring martyrs
Those, in the sight of God, are liars
This is the third literature
It is demanding proof of the authenticity of the news
Ibn Kathir, may God have mercy on him, said
God Almighty said
Lola
Yes, hello
They came upon him
That is, according to what they said
With four martyrs
They bear witness to the validity of what they brought
Since they did not bring martyrs
Those, in the sight of God, are liars
That is, in the judgment of God, they are immoral liars
And other etiquettes mentioned in the verses of Surat Al-Nur
In the literature of dealing with news that challenges people's symptoms
Did the honorable sister comply?
With this etiquette in dealing with the news you hear
About the people around you
Have you denied talking to people and criticizing their symptoms?
I asked her for proof that what she said was true
Did you defend believers, male and female?
Who do you know about their bright history?
And their good morals and religion
When their symptoms are challenged
There may come a day when you need someone who thinks well of you
He defends you and defends your honor
These days
The debt is refundable either in this world or in the afterlife
Most people go to Hell
The harvest of their tongues
But
What is the certain news that the hoopoe brought?
Did he bring it with joy or condemnation?
How did the Prophet of God Solomon, peace be upon him, deal with him?
With this news
We will continue in an upcoming meeting, God willing
Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds
The story of the Queen of Sheba
With the Prophet of God Solomon, peace be upon him
