543 - SABA (Ayat# 10-14)
This excerpt details Allah’s bestowal of blessings and the extraordinary capabilities granted to Prophet Solomon (Dawood’s son). It describes how mountains and birds were commanded to join in praise, illustrating a unique form of devotional harmony. The passage highlights the divine facilitation of ironworking for Prophet Solomon, enabling the creation of sophisticated armor and weaponry with intricate joining techniques. Furthermore, it recounts the control Solomon held over the wind, capable of traversing vast distances – a month’s journey covered in a single day. Jinn were also subjected to Solomon's command, performing labor and constructing monumental structures. However, the narrative underscores that even Solomon's power was contingent upon divine permission, and transgression would result in severe punishment. The text concludes with an account of Solomon’s death, revealing that the jinn remained unaware until his body fell, demonstrating the limits of even prophetic knowledge and the absolute power of Allah.
