Assalam Alaikum,

What I have to share with you will very much fascinate you if you believe in the Qur'an revealed
to Prophet Muhammad pbuh by Allah, the Most Gracious.

This account of Sulaimon clarifies and explains in detail the profound stories found in the Qur'an
about Sulaimon. It is a very lengthy account:

Therefore, I will include some examples of similarities between the Qur'an and these
texts. The first part is a segment from the story of Sulaimon and Queen Saba, and
after compared with the account in the Quran with regards to Sulaimon and Queen
Saba.

Sulaimon and the Queen of Saba

"We shall see," said Solomon, when the hoopoo had concluded the account of his journey,
"whether you have spoken the truth, or art to be numbered among deceivers."
He then caused a fountain to be pointed out by the hoopoo, performed his ablutions, and, when
he had prayed, wrote the following lines: "From Solomon, the son of David and servant of Allah,
to Balkis, queen of Saba, in the name of Allah the All-merciful and Gracious, blessed are they
who follow the guidance of Fate! follow you my invitation, and present yourself before me as a
believer." This note he sealed with musk, stamped his signet on it, and gave it to the hoopoo,
with the words, "Take this letter to Queen Balkis; then retire, but not so far as to preclude you
from hearing what she shall advise with her viziers respecting it."
The hoopoo, with the letter in his bill, darted away like an arrow, and arrived next day at
Mared. The queen was surrounded by all her counselors, when he stepped into her hall of state,
and dropped the letter into her lap. She started as soon as she beheld Solomon's mighty p. 230
signet, opened the letter hurriedly, and, having first read it to herself communicated it to her
counselors, among whom were also her highest chieftains, and entreated their counsel on this
important matter.
But they replied with one voice, "You may rely on our power and courage, and act according to
your good pleasure and wisdom."
"Before, then, I engage in war," said Balkis, "which always entails much suffering and
misfortune upon a country, I will send some presents to King Solomon, and see how he will
receive my ambassadors. If he suffers himself to be bribed, he is no more than other kings who
have fallen before our power; but if he reject my presents, then is he a true prophet, whose faith
we must embrace."

Compare this to Quran verses:


27:27 - 35
He said: We will see whether you have told the truth or whether you are of the liars:
Take this my letter and hand it over to them, then turn away from them and see what (answer)
they return.
She said: O chief! surely an honorable letter has been delivered to me
Surely it is from Sulaiman, and surely it is in the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful;
Saying: exalt not yourselves against me and come to me in submission.
She said: O chiefs! give me advice respecting my affair: I never decide an affair until you are in
my presence.
They said: We are possessors of strength and possessors of mighty prowess, and the command is
yours, therefore see what you will command.
She said: Surely the kings, when they enter a town, ruin it and make the noblest of its people to
be low, and thus they (always) do;
And surely I am going to send a present to them, and shall wait to see what (answer) do the
messengers bring back.
