Not in Bible But in Quran (21); the Quran Honors King Solomon But the Bible Dishonors Him!
Allah Loved Solomon and gave him many gifts:
Allah bestowed on David, Solomon. How excellent a worshiper! Truly he was a penitent soul, always returning Allah with glorification and remembrance at all times. He was ever turning in repentance (towards Allah) he is ever betaking himself to Allah and engaged in His obedience.
Surah (Chapter) 38:30
30] QARIB: we gave Solomon to David; and he was an excellent worshiper! He was penitent! Ever did he turn (to Allah)!
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Allah made Solomon to be a gentle judge and gave him judgment and knowledge
Surah (Chapter) 21:79
79] We made Solomon to understand it, and to both we gave judgment and knowledge. And with David we subjected the mountains and birds to exalt (Allah). All this Allah has done.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Allah disposed, of the devils some that dived for him, plunging into the sea and bringing out of it jewels for Solomon, and performed tasks other than that, that is, other than diving, such as building and otherwise.
Surah (Chapter) 21:82
82] And of the evil ones, were some who dived for him, and did other work besides; and it was Allah who guarded them.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Allah gave knowledge to David and Solomon, and they both said, 'Praise be to Allah who has favored us, with prophet hood over many of His believing worshipers'.
Allah gave Solomon understanding and judgeship through prophet hood. Also Allah taught him the speech of birds, ants, animals etc. In addition, Allah gave him a unique kingdom and disposed the jinn, humans and devils to his service.
Surah (Chapter) 27:15-16
15] We gave knowledge to David and Solomon
: And they both said: 'praise be to Allah who has preferred us above many of his believing worshipers. '
16] And Solomon was David's heir. He said: 'know, my people, we have been taught the speech of birds and we have been bestowed of all things; most surely this is a manifest grace (this is indeed grace manifest from Allah").
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Allah said to him: 'This is our sovereignty. O Solomon. We made you a sovereign over the devils, (so bestow thou) favor whom you will among the rebellious and relieve them from their chains, (or withhold) or keep them chained, (without reckoning) without taking anyone to task or incur a sin as a result. In other words, without your being called to account for any of this. And indeed he has a position of nearness with Allah and a fair resort; a beautiful place of (final) return
Surah (Chapter) 38:39-40
39] 'This is our gift, therefore give freely or withhold without reckoning. '
40] and he enjoyed, indeed, a near approach to us (a place near to Allah), and a beautiful place of (final) return

The Quran announces the innocence of King Solomon and states clearly that he did not disbelieve and was ever at the top of the rank of believers being one of the great prophets!
Surah (Chapter) 2:102
102] ….. Solomon did not disbelieve, it is the devils who disbelieved, teaching people magic …….
The Quran announces the innocence of King Solomon and states clearly that he did not disbelieve and was ever at the top of the rank of believers being one of the great prophets!
On the other hand, the Bible says that Solomon 1) was IDOLATER! And he burned incense and sacrificed to gods of his 1000 women! ,2) did not totally abandon his worship of God, 3) his heart was not fully devoted to his God, and 4) he did not repent after the Lord confronted him.
For more details, Read my article "Not in Bible but in Quran (19); was King Solomon Atheist?"
=========
It is amazing that the Quran is very much grateful for King Solomon and states clearly that he did not disbelieve and was ever at the top of the rank of believers being one of the great prophets! In addition, the Quran mentions that Allah Loved Solomon and gave him many gifts and unique properties like his many languages, his Companions, and his authority over the devils etc.; and Solomon has a position of nearness with Allah and a fair resort; a beautiful place of (final) return.
All of these facts are not found in the Bible. On the other hand, the Bible states that King Solomon was an IDOLATER!
=========
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! (Read my article about chapter 25).

The Beauty of Holiness $17.95 Beauty will save the world," said Dostoyevski. This book is a study of two powerful ways in which true beauty shines upon the world - in the lives of the saints and in the works of Christian art, "the beauty of holiness and the holiness of beauty". This book is a unique and unprecedented meditation on the beauty of Christ and His saints. It centers on several works of art (reproduced in this book) of a saint - Blessed John Fiesole, known to the world as Fra Angelico. Drawing on Angelico's own theological sources, Saward has written a book not on art history but on the splendor of Catholic truth. Beauty is the splendor of truth, the attractive radiance of truth. This new book is intended to help Christians grow in wonder at the glory of Divine Revelation, to which both the Church's saints and the Church's art bear witness. Illustrated with Angelico's color art. "This luminous book is so important that it can scarcely be overestimated. The substance of Saward's scholarship, and his understanding of culture, are dazzling. His vision is of utmost urgency. This is wise, deeply moving and invigorating - a masterpiece!" " Michael O'Brien , Icon Artist, Author, Father Elijah "Professor Saward provides a great service by his careful treatment of the connection between sacred art, the heroic virtue of saints and the fullness of truth taught by Christ and His Church. The numerous citations of Catholic artists, poets and musicians demonstrate how the Catholic Faith elevates civilization." " Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger "The more I read of John Saward's work, the more I find myself including his name on the very short list of preeminently important 20th century Catholic writers. He opens up to us another rich aspect of the Faith which has scarcely been touched on before. Read it, and find your vision vastly deepened and heightened." " Thomas Howard "John Saward is immensely cultured, extremely wise and possessed of the rare gift of a style both precise and lyrical. This is a book to treasure and savor for a long time." "Stratford Caldecott "A book that makes one want to respond more generously to the glory of God in his icons and his living images, the saints. John Saward is increasingly emerging as the Balthasar of the English-speaking world." "Aidan Nichols, O.P. ' "Professor Saward has provided his readers a great service by his careful treatment of the connection between sacred art, the heroic virtue of saintly people and the fullness of truth taught by Christ and His Church. The numerous citations of Catholic artists, poets and musicians demonstrate how the Catholic Faith elevates civilization. Perhaps through efforts such as Professor Saward's, we will see the prevailing culture of death pale in the light of a civilization of life and love radiating out from the beauty of holiness and the holiness of beauty that truth inspires" ' |
