SATAN:
In Surah Al Namal in holy quran, there are two incidents shown which were amazing.
The first is the listening of the talks of ants by Prophet Suleman (AS) and the second is
the bringing of the robust throne of a queen Bilkis who was ruling in Saba (Yemen) from
far distance.
(1)The head of ants was ordering the groups of ants “let us go and hide ourselves deep in
the soil such that we may not be crushed by the army of Suleman (AS) who is supposed
to pass through this place” This voice was heard by Prophet Suleman (AS) and listening
to this, he smiled.
(2) The second amazing thing is the bringing of robust throne of queen Bilkis from
Yemen which was a distance far away from the place of king Suleman (AS). The bird of
Suleman brought the news that he(the bird) saw the robust throne of Bilkis who was
ruling on the big country. But she was worshiping sun. So, Prophet Suleman gave
message to her to come to him, obey him and Allah and be among the believers. The
Queen prepared to go to Suleman (AS) on his invitation. Hazarat Suleman (AS) was
pleased and ordered to make beautiful palace to welcome. He wanted to show her the
Allah’s glory by bringing her throne to Suleman (AS). So, Suleman (AS) asked the court
men “who is able to bring robust throne of queen Bilkis here before her arrival?” The big
Jinn said “I will bring the throne here before noon-the time your court disperses” By
hearing this, one of his court officers, named Asif Barakhia told “I can bring the throne
within twinkle of your eye lid-your honour” and immediately the throne was made
present in front of Suleman (AS)! Queen Bilkis saw her own throne in the palace of
Suleman and astonished. While she went to enter the palace, she saw water on the floor
of the palace and raised her skirt (trouser) to save from water. But she astonished to see
that there was no water at all! The floor was dried but was made so beautiful as if water is
flowing! Looking to such a magnificent thing, she got a conviction that Suleman (AS)
was a true Prophet. She embraced the right path by surrendering herself to Suleman (AS)
and thus to Allah. She was a queen. She did not behave in arrogance and accepted the
right path.
