Prophet Sulayman was a prophet and a wise king. He was the son of Prophet Dawud. He was a humble man and a strong believer in Allah. He was gifted with special powers to control the winds and the ability to understand the language of animals, birds, and insects, which he always used to serve Allah's creatures. Prophet Sulayman had both human beings and jinn, birds, and animals in his army. One day, he called his army, and everyone was present - humans, jinn, birds, and the wind, except for one bird, the hoopoe. He became upset because the hoopoe was absent without his consent.
However, the hoopoe soon appeared to explain his absence. He had some astonishing information from Saba for Prophet Sulayman. The hoopoe said, "Indeed, I found there a woman ruling them, and she has been given all things, and she has a great throne. I found her and her people prostrating to the sun instead of Allah, and Satan has made their deeds pleasing to them and averted them from His way, so they are not guided, and they do not prostrate to Allah, who brings forth what is hidden within the heavens and the earth and knows what you conceal and what you declare - Allah, there is no deity except Him, the Lord of the Great Throne."
