Sulayman (Süleyman, Sulaiman, Suleyman, Suleiman) ( in the Qur'an . In the Bible he is known as King Solomon .

TRADITION

In the Qur'an, Sulayman is a son of the prophet Dawud ( David ). He is told to have learned much from his father, and subsequently made a prophet by God and given power over all creatures, including the Jinns . Ruling a large kingdom that extended south into Yemen , he was known throughout the lands for his wisdom and fair judgements.

A well-known story of Sulayman involves his interactions with the Queen Of Sheba , Bilqis . According to the story, Bilqis was a wise ruler, but her people worshipped the Sun and Moon . Sulayman told her to stop, but she instead tried to flatter him with gifts. These only served to anger him further, and he set out for her lands with an army. On the way, he passed through the Valley of Ants and heard them speak. He began to feel mercy for the Bilqis' people and decided not to harm them. However, the Queen had already been informed of what was happening and set forth to personally patch up relations. Before Bilqis arrived, Sulayman ordered a person with knowledge of the Book to bring him one of Bilquis' thrones. Upon her arrival, Bilqis was asked to identify it, and she did. Bilqis, so overwhelmed by the wisdom and power of Sulayman, eventually married him and became his wife.
