The story of the Queen of Saba with the Prophet of God, Solomon, peace be upon him
Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds
May blessings and peace be upon the most honorable prophets and messengers
Our Prophet Muhammad
And upon all his family and companions
And after
This is a blessed series
About the story of the Queen of Saba with the Prophet of God Solomon, peace and blessings be upon him
The story was mentioned in the Qur’an once in Surat An-Naml
The Kingdom of Saba is located in Yemen
It has a long history
A civilization whose traces still remain to this day
God mentioned it in the Qur’an in Surat Saba
And what I have achieved is a lot of good
And great blessings
Until it became a sign of its time
He called it a good town
But God Almighty destroyed it and destroyed it
When its people turned away from His command, may He be glorified and exalted
God Almighty said
There was a sign for Saba in their dwelling
Two gardens, right and left
Eat of what your Lord has provided and give thanks to Him
A good town and a forgiving God
They turned away, so We sent upon them a torrent of rain
And We replaced them with two gardens with their gardens
I eat junk food
And We replaced them with two gardens with their gardens
My soul eats wine and food
And a little Sidr
That is We recompensed them for what they disbelieved
Do we reward anyone but the ungrateful?
We placed them between them and the villages
In which We have blessed visible villages
We were able to walk through it
They walked through nights and days in safety
They said, “Our Lord is far away between our journeys.”
And they wronged themselves
So we made them single
So We tore them apart completely
Indeed, in that there are signs for every patient and grateful person
And Satan confirmed his suspicions about them
So they followed him, except for a group of believers
He had no authority over them
Except to know who believes in the afterlife
Who is from whom is in doubt
And your Lord is a Guardian over all things
Al-Saadi, may God have mercy on him, said
That is We recompensed them for what they disbelieved
Do we reward anyone but the ungrateful?
That is, will we be rewarded with the punishment?
Given the context
Except for those who disbelieve in God and deprive themselves of His blessings
When what happened to them happened to them
They were separated and torn apart after they were together
And God made them conversations that He spoke with
And Asmara for the people
He used to set an example for them
It is said that the hands of Sheba dispersed
Everyone talks about what happened to them
But no lesson is learned from them
Except for what God said
Indeed, in that there are signs for every patient and grateful person
Patience in the face of hardship and adversity
He bears it for the sake of God
And he doesn't make her angry
Rather, he is patient with her
Thankful for the grace of God Almighty
Acknowledge it and acknowledge it
He praises whoever did it first
And he spends it in obedience to Him
This is if he heard their story
And what happened to them and to them
He knew that was the punishment
A reward for their disbelief is the grace of God
And whoever did the same
He did to him as he did to them
And to thank God Almighty
A preserver of blessings and a protector of curses
And the messengers of God are truthful in what they tell us
And the reward is right
He also saw his model in the abode of the world
And the story of the Queen of Sheba
It is part of the history of the Kingdom of Sheba
It is on the other hand
From the stories of women in the Holy Quran
But God mentioned the stories of women in the Qur’an
For women to be educated through it
And consider it and learn from it
So you follow the path of the believers
And avoid the path of corruptors
These stories came within the folds of the wall
Each story has an appropriate theme for the surah in which it is mentioned
It contains sermons
Guidance and mercy
As God Almighty said
Their stories are a lesson for those with understanding
It was not a fabricated hadith
But believe what is in his hands
And detail everything
And guidance and mercy
And guidance and mercy for people who believe
Muhammad Rashid Reda, may God have mercy on him, said
The Qur’an is neither history nor stories
Rather, it is guidance and admonition
He does not mention a story to indicate the date of its occurrence
Not for the sake of thinking about it
Or provide detailed information
He only mentions what he mentions for the sake of lesson
As he said
Their stories are a lesson for those with understanding
And a statement of the rules of the meeting
As he said
Sunnahs have passed before you
So travel through the land and see what was the end of the deniers
And he said
The Sunnah of God that has passed among His servants
And other verses
The previous incidents include what is known
And God Almighty remembers of this and that whatever He wishes to mention
For the sake of lesson and sermon
He suffices with the story as a lesson and a point of interest
He does not present it in detail with its details, which do not add to the lesson
You might even be distracted by it
The last paragraph is from the words of Professor Muhammad Rashid Reda, may God have mercy on him
A very important paragraph
Because it gives us an approach to dealing with Quranic stories
What aspects should we focus on?
Let us reflect on the story and learn the lesson
We leave the aspects that were not mentioned to us in the story
We don't get caught up in it
Abu Zahra, may God have mercy on him, said
The stories of the Qur’an are intended to be a lesson and consideration
Not narrating facts and entertaining people by narrating them and detailing them
A lesson for those with understanding
Therefore, the Noble Lord goes to the place of lesson and exalts it
And to the place of insight, and he will show it
And those are the straightest paths
Education with history and education with the conditions of the past
Man is the son of man
Who shows you a picture of the past with a lesson
He shows you yourself with the sermon
The past is always a light that shines for the future
It is the lamp carried by those who seek and hope for guidance
And in that story mentioned in the Holy Qur’an
The house is from a wise and knowledgeable person
An example to all people
Especially nations that suffer defeat
Mentioning these stories is a sign of prophecy
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, did not know about it before the revelation
Muhammad Rashid Reda, may God have mercy on him, said
These stories are mentioned in the Qur’an
This is evidence that it is from God Almighty
Because the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, neither he nor his people knew this
As stated in Surat Hud
After detailing the story of Noah with his people by saying:
These are from the sources of the unseen that We reveal to you
Neither you nor your people knew it before this
So be patient, for the outcome is for the righteous
As he said at the end of Surah Yusuf after telling his story with his brothers
This is from the masters of the unseen that We reveal to you
And I was not with them when they made up their mind while plotting
And so that women can benefit from the stories of women in the Qur’an
You must take your time reading it
She contemplates the verses and ponders their meanings
God praises the people of understanding who ponder the Qur’an
God Almighty said
A blessed book which We have sent down to you so that you may reflect its verses
And let those of understanding remember
And God Almighty said
Their stories are a lesson for those with understanding
Abu Zahra, may God have mercy on him, said
And God Almighty restricts those who consider it
That they should be of the kind
That is, the minds that go in their understanding to the core of matters and their facts
They ponder its principles and ends
Therefore, it is necessary for a woman to exercise her mind
In contemplating women’s stories in the Qur’an
Until she takes a lesson from it and learns from herself
She lives her life according to what pleases God Almighty
That is why God Almighty said
So tell stories so that they might think
Al-Tahir bin Ashour, may God have mercy on him, said
Any stories of this story and others
This is an appendix to the story represented in it
It includes it and other stories in the Qur’an
There is contemplation and admonition in the stories
Please let them think and advise them
Because for proverbs and invoking analogies
It is a great matter in converting souls
Bringing hidden conditions closer to astonished or heedless souls
Why in theorizing the specific story
Who remembers seeing the situation with the senses
Unlike the abstract reminder of the tangible thing
And the story of Mercy of Sheba
It is one of the Quranic stories
Which is intended to take a lesson and a sermon
So where is the moral of the story, Muqin?
What is the main purpose of mentioning this story in Surat An-Naml?
What is the role of the hoopoe in the story?
What are the personal characteristics of the woman that are evident in this story?
What trick did the Mercy of Sheba use with Solomon?
How did the Prophet of God Solomon, peace be upon him, deal with him?
With the Queen of Sheba after her trick was revealed
What is the impact of science on the story of the Queen of Sheba?
Was the Queen of Sheba intelligent and rational?
What is the evidence for that?
Why did the Queen of Sheba not resort to fighting?
With the strength of the people of Yemen and the strength of their arrows
What are the things that prevent a person from knowing the truth and following it?
These are questions that we will try to answer, God willing, in this blessed series
From the story of the Queen of Sheba
Asking the Lord Almighty
To encourage us to do good in words and deeds
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
