Good news for all messengers.:)

Salam
Well usually when I take examples of Queen Sheba..as being a woman who achieved..the traditionalists that I talk to says that she gave up Reigning when she took the Shahadah..I really wanted to confirm that..
Did she really quit reigning and made Solomon carry on the governing?/
Please help me find an answer to refute..
I cant find the answer to this -XAssalaam Aalaikum
Saba / Sheba was alraedy blessed and worshiped Allah BEFORE meeting Sulaiman / Solomon
"I found (there) a WOMAN RULING OVER THEM and provided with every requisite; and she has a magnificent throne.
And so, as soon as she arrived, she was asked ?Is thy throne like this?? She answered ?It is as though it were the same!? And Solomon said to his nobles ?She has arrived at the truth without any help from us, although it is we who have been given knowledge before her, and have surrendered ourselves unto Allah!
There was, for Saba, aforetime, a Sign in their home-land - two Gardens to the right and to the left. "Eat of the Sustenance (provided) by your Lord, and be grateful to Him. a territory fair and happy, and a Lord Oft-Forgiving!

Frida, are you sure that this woman did not committ the crimes that she is being charged with?
PeaceSalaam Belalhammad,
Yes brother I am sure this woman did not commit the crimes that she is being accused of. Once her father too had faith in the US system, which is why she was sent abroad to study, but they had no idea how awful ?civilized? countries could be. You can read her story on the link below
http//www.bostonmagazine.com/articles/whos_afraid_of_aafia_siddiqui/.After I read the thread, I could not find any thing to prove her innocence.
I am truly saddened by your response; are you proposing that a highly educated woman, the mother of three, the youngest of which was but a few months old, was involved in terrorist activities? I can?t believe you concluded that she is guilty simply after reading the thread.. Where did you see her guilt when she has not been even tried in a court of law. Nothing has been proven and what about her children? Two are missing so far, and her girl; did you stop to think where that little girl is now? After all you are supposed to be of the qawamoon.
I still see that the Women is more safe in the US than any other Moslem Country (she is a very well educated American who know the Aemrican system very well); the only thing we can do for her is to ask God to set her free if she is not Guilty.
In this day and age a Muslim woman, never mind Muslim, a woman is suffering humiliation and all we can do is pray...well since it?s the Rijal who are the Qawmoon I guess they should pray then and duty done, whilst Pakistani and American women are the prominent ones campaigning about her plight ... how lame are today?s Rijal.
Please brother no offence to you but you said earlier that I made a generalized statement about men, but sadly your response, so far, has not convinced me otherwise. Today it?s women who have to play the part of Rijal and Qawamoon too .
6165 He is the One who made you inheritors of the earth, and He raised some of you above others in rank, in order to test you in accordance with what He has given you. Surely, your Lord is efficient in enforcing retribution, and He is Forgiver, Most Merciful.peace

Salam all
Who mentioned 'Bible'?
Saba / Sheba was NOT given any Torah, what are you talking about?
"Go you, with this letter of mine, and deliver it to them. then draw back from them, and (wait to) see what answer they return"...
Ithhab bikitabee hatha faalqih ilayhim thumma tawalla AAanhum faonthur matha yarjiAAoona
(The queen) said. "You chiefs! here is delivered to me - a letter worthy of respect.
Qalat ya ayyuha almalao innee olqiya ilayya kitabun kareemun
"It is from Solomon, and is (as follows). 'In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
Read Your Quran!
Complete reading the verses
(
" `Be ye not arrogant against me, but come to me in submission (to the true Religion.)' " (31)The Ketab is the Letter that the Bird carried, in which Solmon told them to surround themself to him. As you know Sheba and her People were Sun Worshippers yes
After she went to Solmon, she became Moslem. Then She went back to teach here people the Torah (the Book of God at the time of Solmon) yes
!Assalaam Aalaikum
Saba / Sheba was alraedy blessed and worshiped Allah BEFORE meeting Sulaiman / Solomon
"I found (there) a WOMAN RULING OVER THEM and provided with every requisite; and she has a magnificent throne.o nope
Are you reading from the same Quran I'm reading from( ( (
But the Hoopoe tarried not far he said I have compassed which thou hast not compassed, and I have come to thee from Saba with tidings true. (22) "I found a woman ruling over them and provided with every requisite; and she has a magnificent throne. (23) "I found her and her people worshipping the sun besides Allah Satan has made their deeds seem pleasing in their eyes, and has kept them away from the Path so they receive no guidance (24)
And so, as soon as she arrived, she was asked Is thy throne like this? She answered It is as though it were the same! And Solomon said to his nobles She has arrived at the truth without any help from us, although it is we who have been given knowledge before her, and have surrendered ourselves unto Allah!
Complete the verses brickwall

And he diverted her from the worship of others besides Allah for she was from a trib (kAFFREEN) that had no faith. (27-43)She Was a Sun Worshipper .
Why do I have to spend so much time looking after what you write; please be advised to not mislead people.

You seem to be off point. The relevance of the ayahs is that Saba / Sheba was blessed by Allah,swt PRIOR to the 'bird'....
"I found (there) a WOMAN RULING OVER THEM and provided with every requisite; and she has a magnificent throne.
Irrespective of whether they were worshiping the 'Sun' or NOT Allah,swt blesses whom Allah pleases.....
Those who believe (in the Qur'an), and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians,- any who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and work righteousness, SHALL HAVE THEIR REWARD with their Lord; ON THEM SHALL BE NO FEAR, nor shall they grieve.
Thus have We sent down Clear Signs; and verily Allah guides whom Allah wills!
Those who believe (in the Qur'an), those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Sabians, Christians, Magians, and Polytheists,- Allah will judge between them on the Day of Judgment. for Allah is witness of all things.
Which is confirmed in the following.....
There was, for Saba, aforetime, a Sign in their home-land - two Gardens / Jannatani to the right and to the left. "Eat of the Sustenance (provided) by your Lord, and be grateful to Him. a territory fair and happy, and a Lord Oft-Forgiving!
Between them and the Cities on which We had poured our blessings / jaAAalna baynahum wa bayna al-qura allatee barakna , We had placed Cities in prominent positions, and between them We had appointed stages of journey in due proportion. "Travel therein, secure, by night and by day."
But they said. "Our Lord! Place longer distances between our journey-stages". but they wronged themselves (therein). At length We made them as a Hadeeth (that is told), and We dispersed them all in scattered fragments. Verily in this are Signs for every (soul that is) patiently constant and grateful.

The statement that Saba / Sheba is worshiping the Sun and Shaitan is making alluring her blessings is a 'hearsay' statement from the 'Bird' NOT from Allah,swt
If you read in the initial ayahs leading up to Saba and Sulaiman's meeting, you will find Sulaiman's mistrust of the 'Bird'
And he took a muster of the Birds; and he said. "Why is it I see not the Hoopoe? Or is he among the absentees?
"I will certainly punish him with a severe penalty, or execute him, unless he bring me a clear reason (for absence)."
Sulaiman's motivation is to determine whether the 'Bird' is lying upon the character of Saba
(Solomon) said. "Soon shall we see whether you have told the truth or lied!
Obviously, the 'Bird' has trust 'issues' with Sulaiman, as hearsay is NOT admissible as evidence and slandering is mentioned in the Quran as a grievous sin.
Thus I dont know why your so 'stuck' on what the 'Bird' stated. Sulaiman,as mistrusted the 'Bird', so why should you trust the statement of the 'Bird'?
When ultimately Saba accepted Sulaiman's invitation to guidance WITHOUT Sulaiman's intervention!
And so, as soon as she arrived, she was asked ?Is thy throne like this?? She answered ?It is as though it were the same!? And Solomon said to his nobles ?She has arrived at the truth without any help from us, although it is we who have been given knowledge before her, and have surrendered ourselves unto Allah!
And he diverted her from the worship of others besides Allah. She had descended from a people who rejected and denied the truth.
Wasaddaha ma kanat taAAbudu min dooni Allahi innaha kanat min qawmin kafireena
The highlighted references above denote past tense references.
- Allah,swt guided Saba to the truth and blessed her people, obviously PRIOR to meeting Sulaiman,as (past tense)
- She descended from a people who, at some point in the past rejected and covered the truth
Even the Messenger of Allah's people rejected the guidance. Allah,swt still blessed the Messenger and his people!
Example
And the Messenger will say, ?O my Lord! Surely, my people / inna qawmee took this AL-QURAN and abandoned it.
(Allah has knowledge) of the (Messenger?s) cry, "O my Lord! Truly these are people who will not believe!"
Whatever good, happens to you, is from Allah
The 'Bird' was truthful regarding Saba's 'blessings'
"I found (there) a WOMAN RULING OVER THEM and provided with every requisite; and she has a magnificent throne.
There was, for Saba, aforetime, a Sign in their home-land - two Gardens to the right and to the left. "Eat of the Sustenance (provided) by your Lord, and be grateful to Him. a territory fair and happy, and a Lord Oft-Forgiving!
Allah,swt guided Saba NOT shaitan
NO SOUL CAN BELIEVE, EXCEPT BY THE WILL OF ALLAH, and He will place doubt (or obscurity) on those who will not understand.

Now the obvious question now that we have confirmed that Saba
- Was blessed and guided by Allah
- She accepted Islam
- She was given and accepted Al-Kitab from Sulaiman,as
What is the problem?

Excuse, me your obfuscating and your 'stuck' on words. (i.e. Bird, submitter, Bird, wronged, Bird, Men, Bird, Women, etc.)
The issue was NOT whether YOU or even the Quran stated that she or YOU 'wronged her soul', the fact of the matter is that Allah,swt blessed her with 'Janna' in THIS life PRIOR to your 'Bird' discovering her prosperity!
She already 'submitted'.....
Do they seek Deen/judgment other than Allah. And whosoever is in the skies and earth has WILLINGLY OR UNWILLINGLY submitted to Him and to Him shall they return.
What is your problem?
Allah blesses Saba with Jannah
Your 'Bird' discovers her riches, kingdom and prosperity
Your 'Bird' flies back to Sulaiman,as and tells Sulaiman,as
Sulaiman,as doesnt believe 'Your' 'Bird'
So Sulaiman,as sends his trustworthy, individuals to deliver and convey to Saba Al-Kitab
Saba returns Sulaiman displays his blessings, Saba says 'oh that is the same I have'
Sulaiman says 'Oh you have been blessed by Allah and you are Muslim'
Saba then says 'Really?' Sulaiman says 'Yes, and you did not need my assistance'
Saba then says "I obviously was wrong to my soul by worshiping the Sun, but I now submit to the Creator of All, Im with Sulaiman, (He's my hero) muscle"Even Ibraaheem,as went throught the same transition.....and Ibraaheem,as is the Imam for Humanity!
And when his Lord put Ibraheem to trial with words, then he COMPLETED them. He said. "Surely I have made you the IMAM / LEADER FOR MANKIND", he said "and from my offspring?" HE SAID "MY COVENANT SHALL NOT REACH THE OPPRESSORS."
When he saw the sun rising he said. "This is my Lord; this is greater." But when the sun set, he said. "O my people! I am indeed free from your (guilt) of giving partners to Allah.
I have set myself firmly and truly, to Him Who originated the skies and the earth, and I am not from those who give partners to Allah.
Read Your Quran..oops excuse me....Read Allah's Quran!!!

Should I write 27-44 in a larger font; no I will try smaller
An-Naml 27.44] ... She said. "O my Lord! I have indeed wronged my soul. I do (now) submit (in Islam), with Solomon, to the Lord of the Worlds."
Now, what can you read; can you see that she is saying that she wronged her Soul; can you see that she accepted to submitt to Solmon God, which means she was submitting to a wrong God--THE SUN 27-24.
That is it, I will not discuss this further.
Peace -
Allah states throughout Allah's Quran.....
'I bless whom I please....You do NOT know...I know...Allah ONLY knows...YOU dont know....Im Lord of the Worlds NOT Man...You dont instruct Allah in my deen...'
Even the Angels 'advised' Allah...'You will create one will cause mischief on earth and be ungrateful to your blessings'
Allah tells the Angels and Iblis 'Yes your correct but You dont know what I know, let me handle it and Iblis, If they follow you I will throw you and them in the fire (Iblis is &"
Thus it doesnt matter to Allah whether one states and declares that they submit, Allah blesses them because Allah chooses to.
Get over it
Read Allah's Quran

Peace,
Why else she said she has wronged her soul?
Maria
Assalaam Alaikum
Saba came to the realization as to who her Creator was, by accepting and understanding the guidance that Sulaiman conveyed to her.
We all 'wrong' our souls from time to time, but the recognition of the wrong is guidance.
Many of the Messengers and Prophets of Allah,swt 'wronged' their souls as they were conveying and understanding the message.
Ibraaheem, Muusa, Ayub come to mind......
Dont get so hung up on the words.

2743 And that which she was worshipping other than Allah had averted her . Indeed, she was from a disbelieving people
2744 She was told, "Enter the palace." But when she saw it, she thought it was a body of water and uncovered her shins . He said, "Indeed, it is a palace made smooth with glass." She said, "My Lord, indeed I have wronged myself, and I submit with Solomon to Allah, Lord of the worlds."

These verses explain it all MrFlower(aka afridi220) bravo
Again, MTR, you keep spreading your MISinterpretations everywhere on this forum.... I have strong doubts on you now... I wonder what is your real motives.... I have been discussing with you many times on various threads about your misinterpretation and voluntary distortion of the Quranic meaning ALTHOUGH things are made very clear in the Quran... You still try to forge your ideas in between the lines... So beware, Allah is watching... He knows what is being hidden in thy heart... as well as mine...
You have strong doubts on the Bird because Solomon said he will execute it... You tend to forget that Solomon was a king... And PUNCTUALITY was one of his rules... It was not about trust... Although you do not trust the Bird, it spoke THE TRUTH to Solomon... So, there is no place for non sense here...
May Allah guide us ALL

Its funny how people just hear something without understanding.
The point was whether Saba received guidance, that was confirmed by the following ayahs
"Go you, with this letter of mine, and deliver it to them. then draw back from them, and (wait to) see what answer they return"...
Ithhab bikitabee hatha faalqih ilayhim thumma tawalla AAanhum faonthur matha yarjiAAoona
(The queen) said. "You chiefs! here is delivered to me - a letter worthy of respect.
Qalat ya ayyuha almalao innee olqiya ilayya kitabun kareemun
belalhammad, obviously doesnt like the fact that Saba received Al-Kitab and accepted it, so he 'flipped' the focus to a circular argument about whether Saba 'wronged' her soul and a 'talking bird'. laugh
Its called Obfuscating meaning To make so confused or opaque as to be difficult to perceive or understandto make obscure or unclear to obfuscate a problem with extraneous informationto confuse, bewilder, or stupefy
Its a common practice among individuals who dont wish to humble themselves to the truth.
