Story events

The hoopoe is one of the most famous stories and miracles from which God, glory be to Him, on His prophets, mentioned in the Holy Qur’an, and its events revolve around that our master Solomon God blessed him with a king that no one before or after him could gain.

 Or fatigue, and the Almighty gave him the characteristic of understanding the words of animals, including the incident of his army passing on ... the valley of the ants, and he heard an ant saying, Run, let Solomon and his soldiers destroy you ..(Prophet Solomon's ant) . 

The story began when Solomon, peace be upon him, noticed the absence of the hoopoe without his permission, so he became angry and promised him severe punishment. Because it is one of the pillars of his army in monitoring and observation, and when the hoopoe came with great news about the Sheba of the Kingdom of Yemen, he pardoned him and retracted his 

punishment, but he pardoned him on a condition that justifies the reason for his going to this kingdom, and the hoopoe said that I saw a woman who ruled them and who had a throne and worshiped the sun besides God Almighty. 

 There are people who are ruled by a woman and that she has a great throne, and that the people prostrate to the sun besides God Almighty, realizing that this is a polytheism with God, and that their work is to decorate Satan for their deeds, sins and immorality, the Prophet believed the hoopoe and sent to the Queen of Sheba a message with the hoopoe in which he invited her to Islam.

When the message arrived from Solomon, she said to her people, advise me what I should do. God Almighty said in Surat An-Naml, In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful:

The hoopoe of the Prophet Solomon

The Queen decided to send a gift to the Prophet of God Solomon. The gift is boxes filled with gold. When Solomon saw the gift, he became angry at the Queen’s behavior. He sent the hoopoe to come to his council to talk to her. The Queen accepted and upon her arrival the Prophet Solomon asked the jinn which of you can bring me to her throne before she reaches me, God Glory be to Him, In the name of God the Most Gracious the Most Merciful:

The hoopoe of the Prophet Solomon

He said to the Prophet of Solomon, peace be upon him, I come with him and I am strong and honest, he arrives to you before you get up from your place, then another said, I will come to you before you raise your hand, so behold, the throne is in front of him.

 From God, Lord of the worlds, to thank His grace or to deny, and God is the rich and generous, God Almighty says about the ants, In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful:

He who has knowledge from the book said: I will bring it to you before your side turns back to you, and when he saw it settled
He has said this is from the grace of my Lord, to tell me I thank or disbelieve and whoever thank, But thanks to himself and whoever disbelieves, for my Lord is rich and generous.

The Queen of Sheba arrived to the Prophet Solomon, peace be upon him, when she saw the power of his kingdom, his authority and his wealth, was astonished. He said to her, Is this your throne. 

( Rare glass), when I saw Solomon's miracles, my Lord said that I wronged myself and became Muslim with Solomon, my Lord of the worlds. I converted to Islam. God Almighty, In the Name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful:

The hoopoe of the Prophet Solomon
In the name of of Allah the Merciful
