WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:13.910 The story of the Queen of Saba with the Prophet of God, Solomon, peace be upon him 00:00:13.910 --> 00:00:16.429 Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds 00:00:16.429 --> 00:00:20.730 May blessings and peace be upon the most honorable prophets and messengers 00:00:20.730 --> 00:00:22.609 Our Prophet Muhammad 00:00:22.609 --> 00:00:25.489 And upon all his family and companions 00:00:25.489 --> 00:00:27.219 And after 00:00:27.219 --> 00:00:29.820 This is a blessed series 00:00:29.940 --> 00:00:36.200 About the story of the Queen of Saba with the Prophet of God Solomon, peace and blessings be upon him 00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:41.700 The story was mentioned in the Qur’an once in Surat An-Naml 00:00:41.700 --> 00:00:44.780 The Kingdom of Saba is located in Yemen 00:00:44.780 --> 00:00:46.859 It has a long history 00:00:46.859 --> 00:00:52.579 A civilization whose traces still remain to this day 00:00:52.579 --> 00:00:56.219 God mentioned it in the Qur’an in Surat Saba 00:00:56.219 --> 00:00:59.539 And what I have achieved is a lot of good 00:00:59.579 --> 00:01:01.280 And great blessings 00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:04.299 Until it became a sign of its time 00:01:04.299 --> 00:01:07.629 He called it a good town 00:01:07.629 --> 00:01:11.129 But God Almighty destroyed it and destroyed it 00:01:11.129 --> 00:01:15.540 When its people turned away from His command, may He be glorified and exalted 00:01:15.540 --> 00:01:17.780 God Almighty said 00:01:17.780 --> 00:01:23.540 There was a sign for Saba in their dwelling 00:01:23.540 --> 00:01:30.019 Two gardens, right and left 00:01:30.019 --> 00:01:34.219 Eat of what your Lord has provided and give thanks to Him 00:01:34.219 --> 00:01:40.780 A good town and a forgiving God 00:01:40.780 --> 00:01:45.340 They turned away, so We sent upon them a torrent of rain 00:01:45.340 --> 00:01:50.180 And We replaced them with two gardens with their gardens 00:01:50.180 --> 00:01:53.260 I eat junk food 00:01:53.260 --> 00:01:58.579 And We replaced them with two gardens with their gardens 00:01:58.579 --> 00:02:02.780 My soul eats wine and food 00:02:02.780 --> 00:02:09.240 And a little Sidr 00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:14.159 That is We recompensed them for what they disbelieved 00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:20.210 Do we reward anyone but the ungrateful? 00:02:20.210 --> 00:02:23.490 We placed them between them and the villages 00:02:23.490 --> 00:02:28.650 In which We have blessed visible villages 00:02:28.650 --> 00:02:32.629 We were able to walk through it 00:02:32.629 --> 00:02:38.990 They walked through nights and days in safety 00:02:38.990 --> 00:02:43.349 They said, “Our Lord is far away between our journeys.” 00:02:43.349 --> 00:02:50.590 And they wronged themselves 00:02:50.590 --> 00:02:52.909 So we made them single 00:02:52.909 --> 00:02:57.030 So We tore them apart completely 00:02:57.030 --> 00:03:05.229 Indeed, in that there are signs for every patient and grateful person 00:03:05.229 --> 00:03:09.669 And Satan confirmed his suspicions about them 00:03:09.669 --> 00:03:16.020 So they followed him, except for a group of believers 00:03:16.020 --> 00:03:20.819 He had no authority over them 00:03:20.819 --> 00:03:25.139 Except to know who believes in the afterlife 00:03:25.139 --> 00:03:29.419 Who is from whom is in doubt 00:03:29.419 --> 00:03:35.270 And your Lord is a Guardian over all things 00:03:35.270 --> 00:03:37.750 Al-Saadi, may God have mercy on him, said 00:03:37.750 --> 00:03:40.750 That is We recompensed them for what they disbelieved 00:03:40.750 --> 00:03:43.669 Do we reward anyone but the ungrateful? 00:03:43.669 --> 00:03:46.509 That is, will we be rewarded with the punishment? 00:03:46.509 --> 00:03:48.189 Given the context 00:03:48.189 --> 00:03:51.800 Except for those who disbelieve in God and deprive themselves of His blessings 00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:54.719 When what happened to them happened to them 00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:59.319 They were separated and torn apart after they were together 00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:02.800 And God made them conversations that He spoke with 00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:05.199 And Asmara for the people 00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:07.479 He used to set an example for them 00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:11.400 It is said that the hands of Sheba dispersed 00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:14.639 Everyone talks about what happened to them 00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:17.519 But no lesson is learned from them 00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:19.720 Except for what God said 00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:25.040 Indeed, in that there are signs for every patient and grateful person 00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:28.040 Patience in the face of hardship and adversity 00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:30.079 He bears it for the sake of God 00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:32.000 And he doesn't make her angry 00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:33.959 Rather, he is patient with her 00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:36.639 Thankful for the grace of God Almighty 00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:38.759 Acknowledge it and acknowledge it 00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:41.040 He praises whoever did it first 00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:43.699 And he spends it in obedience to Him 00:04:43.699 --> 00:04:45.860 This is if he heard their story 00:04:45.860 --> 00:04:48.259 And what happened to them and to them 00:04:48.300 --> 00:04:51.100 He knew that was the punishment 00:04:51.100 --> 00:04:53.939 A reward for their disbelief is the grace of God 00:04:53.939 --> 00:04:55.740 And whoever did the same 00:04:55.740 --> 00:04:58.420 He did to him as he did to them 00:04:58.420 --> 00:05:00.180 And to thank God Almighty 00:05:00.180 --> 00:05:03.779 A preserver of blessings and a protector of curses 00:05:03.779 --> 00:05:07.699 And the messengers of God are truthful in what they tell us 00:05:07.699 --> 00:05:09.779 And the reward is right 00:05:09.779 --> 00:05:14.730 He also saw his model in the abode of the world 00:05:14.730 --> 00:05:16.810 And the story of the Queen of Sheba 00:05:16.850 --> 00:05:20.089 It is part of the history of the Kingdom of Sheba 00:05:20.089 --> 00:05:22.129 It is on the other hand 00:05:22.129 --> 00:05:25.759 From the stories of women in the Holy Quran 00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:29.439 But God mentioned the stories of women in the Qur’an 00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:32.079 For women to be educated through it 00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:34.680 And consider it and learn from it 00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:36.920 So you follow the path of the believers 00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:40.050 And avoid the path of corruptors 00:05:40.050 --> 00:05:43.569 These stories came within the folds of the wall 00:05:43.610 --> 00:05:49.129 Each story has an appropriate theme for the surah in which it is mentioned 00:05:49.129 --> 00:05:51.050 It contains sermons 00:05:51.050 --> 00:05:53.290 Guidance and mercy 00:05:53.290 --> 00:05:55.759 As God Almighty said 00:05:55.759 --> 00:06:02.839 Their stories are a lesson for those with understanding 00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:07.000 It was not a fabricated hadith 00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:11.879 But believe what is in his hands 00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:15.120 And detail everything 00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:17.959 And guidance and mercy 00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:26.300 And guidance and mercy for people who believe 00:06:26.300 --> 00:06:29.620 Muhammad Rashid Reda, may God have mercy on him, said 00:06:29.620 --> 00:06:33.100 The Qur’an is neither history nor stories 00:06:33.100 --> 00:06:36.139 Rather, it is guidance and admonition 00:06:36.139 --> 00:06:39.939 He does not mention a story to indicate the date of its occurrence 00:06:39.939 --> 00:06:42.100 Not for the sake of thinking about it 00:06:42.100 --> 00:06:44.660 Or provide detailed information 00:06:44.660 --> 00:06:48.300 He only mentions what he mentions for the sake of lesson 00:06:48.300 --> 00:06:49.740 As he said 00:06:49.740 --> 00:06:54.139 Their stories are a lesson for those with understanding 00:06:54.139 --> 00:06:56.540 And a statement of the rules of the meeting 00:06:56.540 --> 00:06:58.019 As he said 00:06:58.019 --> 00:07:00.860 Sunnahs have passed before you 00:07:00.860 --> 00:07:06.459 So travel through the land and see what was the end of the deniers 00:07:06.459 --> 00:07:07.740 And he said 00:07:07.740 --> 00:07:11.779 The Sunnah of God that has passed among His servants 00:07:11.779 --> 00:07:14.720 And other verses 00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:18.800 The previous incidents include what is known 00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:23.519 And God Almighty remembers of this and that whatever He wishes to mention 00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:26.079 For the sake of lesson and sermon 00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:30.720 He suffices with the story as a lesson and a point of interest 00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:36.000 He does not present it in detail with its details, which do not add to the lesson 00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:40.089 You might even be distracted by it 00:07:40.089 --> 00:07:45.290 The last paragraph is from the words of Professor Muhammad Rashid Reda, may God have mercy on him 00:07:45.290 --> 00:07:47.850 A very important paragraph 00:07:47.850 --> 00:07:52.370 Because it gives us an approach to dealing with Quranic stories 00:07:52.370 --> 00:07:56.050 What aspects should we focus on? 00:07:56.050 --> 00:07:59.170 Let us reflect on the story and learn the lesson 00:07:59.170 --> 00:08:02.850 We leave the aspects that were not mentioned to us in the story 00:08:02.850 --> 00:08:05.259 We don't get caught up in it 00:08:05.259 --> 00:08:07.980 Abu Zahra, may God have mercy on him, said 00:08:08.019 --> 00:08:12.339 The stories of the Qur’an are intended to be a lesson and consideration 00:08:12.339 --> 00:08:17.420 Not narrating facts and entertaining people by narrating them and detailing them 00:08:17.420 --> 00:08:20.100 A lesson for those with understanding 00:08:20.100 --> 00:08:24.939 Therefore, the Noble Lord goes to the place of lesson and exalts it 00:08:24.939 --> 00:08:28.019 And to the place of insight, and he will show it 00:08:28.019 --> 00:08:30.139 And those are the straightest paths 00:08:30.139 --> 00:08:35.460 Education with history and education with the conditions of the past 00:08:35.460 --> 00:08:37.940 Man is the son of man 00:08:37.940 --> 00:08:41.179 Who shows you a picture of the past with a lesson 00:08:41.179 --> 00:08:44.129 He shows you yourself with the sermon 00:08:44.129 --> 00:08:48.370 The past is always a light that shines for the future 00:08:48.370 --> 00:08:53.990 It is the lamp carried by those who seek and hope for guidance 00:08:53.990 --> 00:08:57.870 And in that story mentioned in the Holy Qur’an 00:08:57.870 --> 00:09:00.269 The house is from a wise and knowledgeable person 00:09:00.269 --> 00:09:02.870 An example to all people 00:09:02.870 --> 00:09:07.950 Especially nations that suffer defeat 00:09:07.990 --> 00:09:13.029 Mentioning these stories is a sign of prophecy 00:09:13.029 --> 00:09:18.419 The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, did not know about it before the revelation 00:09:18.419 --> 00:09:21.740 Muhammad Rashid Reda, may God have mercy on him, said 00:09:21.740 --> 00:09:24.460 These stories are mentioned in the Qur’an 00:09:24.460 --> 00:09:28.220 This is evidence that it is from God Almighty 00:09:28.220 --> 00:09:34.460 Because the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, neither he nor his people knew this 00:09:34.460 --> 00:09:37.059 As stated in Surat Hud 00:09:37.059 --> 00:09:41.539 After detailing the story of Noah with his people by saying: 00:09:41.539 --> 00:09:45.820 These are from the sources of the unseen that We reveal to you 00:09:45.820 --> 00:09:51.460 Neither you nor your people knew it before this 00:09:51.460 --> 00:09:55.700 So be patient, for the outcome is for the righteous 00:09:55.700 --> 00:10:01.340 As he said at the end of Surah Yusuf after telling his story with his brothers 00:10:01.340 --> 00:10:05.940 This is from the masters of the unseen that We reveal to you 00:10:05.940 --> 00:10:12.860 And I was not with them when they made up their mind while plotting 00:10:12.860 --> 00:10:17.259 And so that women can benefit from the stories of women in the Qur’an 00:10:17.259 --> 00:10:20.100 You must take your time reading it 00:10:20.100 --> 00:10:24.740 She contemplates the verses and ponders their meanings 00:10:24.740 --> 00:10:29.820 God praises the people of understanding who ponder the Qur’an 00:10:29.820 --> 00:10:31.460 God Almighty said 00:10:31.460 --> 00:10:37.019 A blessed book which We have sent down to you so that you may reflect its verses 00:10:37.019 --> 00:10:39.899 And let those of understanding remember 00:10:39.899 --> 00:10:41.659 And God Almighty said 00:10:41.659 --> 00:10:46.460 Their stories are a lesson for those with understanding 00:10:46.460 --> 00:10:49.059 Abu Zahra, may God have mercy on him, said 00:10:49.059 --> 00:10:52.220 And God Almighty restricts those who consider it 00:10:52.220 --> 00:10:54.740 That they should be of the kind 00:10:54.740 --> 00:11:01.019 That is, the minds that go in their understanding to the core of matters and their facts 00:11:01.019 --> 00:11:06.409 They ponder its principles and ends 00:11:06.409 --> 00:11:09.970 Therefore, it is necessary for a woman to exercise her mind 00:11:09.970 --> 00:11:13.129 In contemplating women’s stories in the Qur’an 00:11:13.129 --> 00:11:17.409 Until she takes a lesson from it and learns from herself 00:11:17.409 --> 00:11:21.850 She lives her life according to what pleases God Almighty 00:11:21.850 --> 00:11:24.169 That is why God Almighty said 00:11:24.169 --> 00:11:28.299 So tell stories so that they might think 00:11:28.299 --> 00:11:31.379 Al-Tahir bin Ashour, may God have mercy on him, said 00:11:31.379 --> 00:11:34.620 Any stories of this story and others 00:11:34.620 --> 00:11:38.220 This is an appendix to the story represented in it 00:11:38.220 --> 00:11:42.460 It includes it and other stories in the Qur’an 00:11:42.460 --> 00:11:45.700 There is contemplation and admonition in the stories 00:11:45.700 --> 00:11:49.059 Please let them think and advise them 00:11:49.059 --> 00:11:51.779 Because for proverbs and invoking analogies 00:11:51.779 --> 00:11:55.139 It is a great matter in converting souls 00:11:55.139 --> 00:12:00.539 Bringing hidden conditions closer to astonished or heedless souls 00:12:00.539 --> 00:12:03.139 Why in theorizing the specific story 00:12:03.139 --> 00:12:06.820 Who remembers seeing the situation with the senses 00:12:06.820 --> 00:12:13.240 Unlike the abstract reminder of the tangible thing 00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:15.320 And the story of Mercy of Sheba 00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:17.679 It is one of the Quranic stories 00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:21.379 Which is intended to take a lesson and a sermon 00:12:21.379 --> 00:12:24.139 So where is the moral of the story, Muqin? 00:12:24.139 --> 00:12:29.019 What is the main purpose of mentioning this story in Surat An-Naml? 00:12:29.019 --> 00:12:31.700 What is the role of the hoopoe in the story? 00:12:31.700 --> 00:12:36.940 What are the personal characteristics of the woman that are evident in this story? 00:12:36.940 --> 00:12:41.580 What trick did the Mercy of Sheba use with Solomon? 00:12:41.580 --> 00:12:45.059 How did the Prophet of God Solomon, peace be upon him, deal with him? 00:12:45.059 --> 00:12:49.059 With the Queen of Sheba after her trick was revealed 00:12:49.059 --> 00:12:52.700 What is the impact of science on the story of the Queen of Sheba? 00:12:52.700 --> 00:12:56.220 Was the Queen of Sheba intelligent and rational? 00:12:56.220 --> 00:12:58.289 What is the evidence for that? 00:12:58.289 --> 00:13:01.889 Why did the Queen of Sheba not resort to fighting? 00:13:01.889 --> 00:13:05.330 With the strength of the people of Yemen and the strength of their arrows 00:13:05.330 --> 00:13:10.919 What are the things that prevent a person from knowing the truth and following it? 00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:17.639 These are questions that we will try to answer, God willing, in this blessed series 00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:20.259 From the story of the Queen of Sheba 00:13:20.259 --> 00:13:22.539 Asking the Lord Almighty 00:13:22.539 --> 00:13:26.259 To encourage us to do good in words and deeds 00:13:26.299 --> 00:13:30.600 Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds 00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:33.279 The story of the Queen of Sheba 00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:37.279 With the Prophet of God Solomon, peace be upon him
