In Quran but not in Bible: King Solomon and His Unique Castle

The Quran declares the second surprise of King Solomon to show up the Queen how powerful he is.

Now, the Queen of Sheba is going to visit Solomon in His Unique Castle!  A big surprise was waiting for her!

The ground of the castle looks was made of transparent white glass floor underneath which flowed sweet water that contained fish and the most splendid creatures of the sea and so she bared her legs thinking that it was a lake of water!

This story is not mentioned in the Bible which says that the Queen of Sheba examined King Solomon and when he succeeded in her difficult assessment questions she gave him gifts and he took her gifts!

Herein is the second surprise of King Solomon to show up the Queen how powerful he is.

The Queen of Sheba is going to visit Solomon in His Unique Castle!  A big surprise was waiting for her!

The ground of the castle looks was made of transparent white glass floor underneath which flowed sweet water that contained fish and the most splendid creatures of the sea.

——-

It was said to her, ‘Enter the castle’ – this was a transparent white glass floor underneath which flowed sweet water that contained fish and the most splendid creatures of the sea.

King Solomon had it made when he was told that her legs and feet resembled the shanks of a mule. And when she saw it, she supposed it to be a pool, of water, and so she bared her legs, to wade through it. Meanwhile Solomon was seated on his throne at the front part of the lofty palace, and he saw that her legs and feet were [in fact] fair. He said, to her: ‘It is a palace paved [smooth] with crystal’, and thereafter he called her to submit [to Allah]. She said, ‘My Lord, indeed I have wronged myself, by worshipping other than You, and I submit with Solomon to You, You are the Lord of the Worlds’ the master of the Jinn and human beings.

 

The Historians say that Solomon wanted to marry her but disliked the hair on her legs. So the devils made for her a [depilatory] lime mixture and she removed it therewith. He married her and had [great] love for her. And he let her remain as ruler of her kingdom and would visit her once a month, staying for three days [every time]. Her reign came to an end at the same time as that of Solomon. Glory is to the One whose enduring sovereignty will never end!

However, the Historians’ story is not mentioned in the Quran. Their story needs search and digging to be valid!

 

=========

Surah (Chapter) 27:43-44

 

43] And he diverted her from the worship of others besides Allah: for she was (sprung) of a people that had no faith.

44] It was said to her: enter the lofty palace (the castle): but when she saw it, she thought it was a lake of water or a pool of water, and she (tucked up her skirts), and bared her legs. he said: “this is but a palace paved smooth with slabs of glass.” she said: “o my lord! I have indeed wronged my soul: I do (now) submit to Allah (in Islam), with Solomon, to the lord of the worlds.”

 

=========

It is amazing that the Quran declares these facts about the second surprise of King Solomon to show up the Queen how powerful he is.

On the other hand, the Bible says that the Queen of Sheba examined King Solomon and when he succeeded in her difficult assessment questions she gave him gifts and he took her gifts!

Back to the main issue of my series of articles; this is my question to you smart readers: “Is the Quran quoted from the Bible?”

By the way, the disbelieved ignorant Arabs stated that the Quran quoted from the Bible more than 1400 years ago!
