Read in Context

Chapter 27, Page 379, Juz 19

20. Solomon inspected the birds and said, ‘Why do I not see the hoopoe? Is he absent? 21. I will punish him severely, or kill him, unless he brings me a convincing excuse for his absence.’ 22. But the hoopoe did not stay away long: he came and said, ‘I have learned something you did not know: I come to you from Sheba with firm news. 23. I found a woman ruling over the people, who has been given a share of everything- she has a magnificent throne- 24. [but] I found that she and her people worshipped the sun instead of God. Satan has made their deeds seem alluring to them, and diverted them from the right path: they cannot find the right path. 25. Should they not worship God, who brings forth what is hidden in the heavens and earth and knows both what you people conceal and what you declare? 26. He is God, there is no god but Him, the Lord of the mighty throne.’ 27. Solomon said, ‘We shall see whether you are telling the truth or lying. 28. Take this letter of mine and deliver it to them, then withdraw and see what answer they send back.’ 29. The Queen of Sheba said, ‘Counsellors, a gracious letter has been delivered to me. 30. It is from Solomon, and it says, “In the name of God, the Lord of Mercy, the Giver of Mercy, 31. do not put yourselves above me, and come to me in submission to God.”’
