Malika Saba (Queen of Sheba) was associated with the era of which Prophet?

Malika Saba, known as the Queen of Sheba, is historically and Quranically associated with the era of Prophet Hazrat Suleman (AS). Her story is mentioned in Surah An-Naml (Chapter 27) of the Holy Quran, which narrates her visit to the court of Prophet Suleman (AS) after learning about his wisdom, knowledge, and divine guidance. The Queen ruled over Sheba, a prosperous kingdom in southern Arabia, known for its wealth, agriculture, and trade.

The Quran describes how Prophet Suleman (AS), through Allah’s wisdom, sent a letter inviting the Queen of Sheba to submit to Allah. Curious and cautious, she visited his court to witness his wisdom firsthand. During her visit, she was impressed by the grandeur of Suleman’s (AS) palace, his knowledge, and the miraculous signs of Allah displayed through him. The story highlights her recognition of Allah’s power and guidance, and her eventual acceptance of monotheism after seeing the truth.

This narrative serves multiple lessons for Muslims: the importance of wisdom, humility, and acknowledging the truth; the role of leadership guided by justice and faith; and the influence of righteous prophets on societies. The Queen’s story also demonstrates the far-reaching impact of Prophet Suleman’s (AS) prophethood and the respect he commanded among kings and rulers of his time.
