PROPHET SULAIMAN (AS)

Prophet Sulaiman (AS) (Solomon) was the son of Prophet Dawud (AS) (David). They were descendents of Prophet Ibrahim (AS)(Abraham). Jews and Christians consider Sulaiman only a king and not a prophet. In Quran it is clearly mentioned that he was a prophet chosen by Allah (SWT). An-Nisa 163 Verily, We have sent the revelation to you (O Mohammad SAS) as We sent the revelation to Nuh (Noah) and the Prophets after him; We (also) sent the revelation to Ibrahim (Abraham), Ismail (Ishmael), Ishaq (Isaac), Yaqub (Jacob), and Al-Asbat [the offspring of the twelve sons of Yaqub (Jacob)], Isa (Jesus), Ayyub (Job), Yunus (Jonah), Harun (Aaron)
, and Sulaiman (Solomon); and to Dawud (David) We gave the Zabur (Psalms). Prophet Sulaiman (AS) was very witty from the very childhood. Allah (SWT) has described it in Al-Anbiya 78-79 And (remember) Dawud and Sulaiman, when they gave judgement in the case of the field in which the sheep of certain people had pastured at night; and We were witness to their judgement. And We made Sulaiman to understand (the case); and to each of them We gave Hukm (right judgement of the affairs and Prophethood) and knowledge. And We subjected the mountains and the birds to glorify Our Praises along with Dawud. And it was We Who were the doer (of all these things). Abdullah Ibn Masood (
