<span style="font-size: large;">When the messengers returned with word of what Hazrat sulayman (A.s) said, queen said: `By Allah, I knew he was more than a king, and that we have no power to match him, and that we can gain nothing by being stubborn with him. So, she sent word to him saying: "I am coming to you with the leaders of my people to see what you will instruct us to do and what you are calling us to of your religion.'' Then she issued commands that her throne, which was made of gold and inlaid with rubies, should be placed in the innermost of seven rooms, one within the other, and all the doors should be locked. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Then she told her deputy whom she was leaving in charge, "Take care of my people and my throne, and do not let anyone approach it or see it until I come back to you.'' Then she set off to meet Hazrat sulayman (A.s) with twelve thousand of her commanders from the leaders of Yemen, under each of whose command were many thousands of men. <br />Hazrat sulayman (A.s) sent the Jinn to bring him news of her progress and route every day and night, then when she drew near, he gathered together the Jinns and humans who were under his control and said <br />O chiefs! Which of you can bring me her throne before they come to me surrendering themselves in obedience as Muslims.'' <br />An `Ifrit : "A giant Jinn. "It was as if he was a mountain.''from the Jinn said: <br />I will bring it to you before you rise from your place. And verily, I am indeed strong and trustworthy for such work.. Hazrat sulayman (A.s), upon him be peace, said, "I want it faster than that.'' <br />One with whom was knowledge of the Scripture he was Asif bin Barkhiya' and he was a truthful believer who knew the Greatest Name of Allah, said, “I will bring it to you within the twinkling of an eye to test whether I am grateful or ungrateful! And whoever is grateful. Hazrat sulayman (A.s) said: "Verily, it is a Sarh Mumarrad of Qawarir.'' She said: ''I have wronged myself, and I submit, together with Hazrat sulayman (A.s) to Allah, the Lord of all that exits.'' </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">When Hazrat sulayman (A.s) brought the throne of Bilqis before she and her people arrived, he issued orders that some of its features should be altered, so that he could test her and see whether she recognized it and how composed she would be when she saw it. Would she hasten to say either that it was her throne or that it was not So he said: <br />"Remove some of its adornments and parts.'' "He issued orders that it should be changed, so whatever was red should be made yellow and vice versa, and whatever was green should be made red, so everything was altered. <br />So when she came, it was said: "Is your throne like this'' Her throne, which had been altered and disguised, with some things added and others taken away, was shown to her. She was wise and intelligent and strong-willed. She did not hasten to say that this was her throne. <br />And Saddaha that which she used to worship besides Allah has prevented her, for she was of a disbelieving people. <br />Hazrat sulayman (A.s) had commanded the Shaytan to build for her a huge palace of glass beneath which water was flowing. . Hazrat sulayman (A.s) built a huge, lofty palace of glass for this queen, in order to show her the greatness of his authority and power.Anyone who did not know the nature of the building (As-Sarh'' ) would think that it was water, but in fact there was a layer of glass between a person walking and the water. <br />It was said to her:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> "Enter As-Sarh'' but when she saw it, she thought it was a pool, and she tucked up her clothes uncovering her legs. When she saw for herself what Allah had given him and how majestic his position was, she submitted to the command of Allah and acknowledged that he was a noble Prophet, so she submitted to Allah and said <br />My Lord! Verily, I have wronged myself.and I submit, together with Hazrat sulayman (A.s) to Allah, the Lord of all that exists </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Hoopoe told Hazrat Sulayman(A.S) about the people of Saba' and their queen . Hazrat Sulayman(A.S) said : "We shall see whether you speak the truth or you are one of the liars.'' Go you with this letter of mine and deliver it to them then draw back from them and see what they return. Hazrat Sulayman(A.S) wrote a letter to Queen Bilqis and her people and gave it to the hoopoe to deliver. It was said that he carried it on his wings, as is the way with birds, or that he carried it in his beak. He went to their land and found the palace of Queen Bilqis, then he went to her private chambers and threw the letter through a small window, then he stepped to one side out of good manners. Queen Bilqis was amazed and confused when she saw that, then she went and picked up the letter, opened its seal and read it. </span></span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Letter of </span></span><span style="font-size: large;">Hazrat Sulayman (A.S)</span></h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">It is from Hazrat Sulayman (A.S), and it reads: `In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful; Be you not exalted against me, but come to me submitting as Muslims.' </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So she gathered her commanders and ministers and the leaders of her land, and said to them: <br />"O chiefs! , here is delivered to me a noble letter.'' it was a wondrous thing she had seen, that it was delivered by a bird who threw it to her, then stood aside out of good manners. This was something that no king could do.  </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Then she read the letter to them. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They knew that it was from Allah's Prophet Hazrat Sulayman(A.S) and that they could not match him. This letter was the utmost in brevity coming straight to the point. <br />They said: "we have the power and strength, if you want to go to him and fight him.' The matter is yours to decide, so instruct us as you see fit and we will obey. "Bilqis said: kings, when they enter a town, they destroy it and make the most honorable amongst its people the lowest. And thus they do. Then she said: `I will send him a gift befitting for one of his status, and will wait and see what his response will be. Perhaps he will accept that and leave us alone, or he will impose a tax which we can pay him every year. She understood how gift-giving has a good effect on people. she sent him a huge gift of gold, jewels, pearls and other things. It is apparent that Hazrat Sulayman(A.S) did not even look at what they brought at all and did not pay any attention to it. but he turned away and said, rebuking them:He said that they were the ones who were influenced by gifts and presents but he would accept nothing from her except Islam or the sword.' <br />Hazrat Sulayman(A.S) would come to them with armies that they could not resist. They had no power to match them or resist them. <br />we shall drive them out from there in disgrace, `we shall drive them out in disgrace from their land.  </span><br />
