Prophet Solomon (pbuh)

God blessed Prophet Solomon (pbuh) with a great kingdom, incomparable wealth, a powerful army supported by jinns and birds, and superior wisdom. This book looks at his special God-given qualities, as described in the Qur'an, that made him superior to other human beings. Such a study enables us to consider the exemplary moral character of this chosen servant of our Lord. Given that many aspects of Prophet Solomon's (pbuh) biography are connected with the End Times, we also examine this period. The End Times, which is drawing ever-closer and during which the Qur'an's moral teachings will prevail, will witness the coming of the Mahdi. This spiritual person, an agent of God, will destroy all false philosophies and ideologies, thereby bringing an end to the oppression and chaos seen all over the world. The hadiths state that the world rule in the End Times will be very much like the reigns of Prophet Solomon (pbuh) and Dhu'l-Qarnayn (pbuh). For this reason, the author examines the Qur'anic accounts of the times of these two great leaders from this point of view. This method will allow believers to interpret events from a wider perspective and broaden their horizons. In addition, it will cause Muslims to think about the good tidings of the End Times and live in eager expectation of its arrival.
