Speaker A
I came to you with His miracles. Before I crush you, show them. Let's see your miracles.
Speaker A
O horses, by the leave of God, rid yourselves of your riders. Lay them on the ground.
Speaker A
The wife of a prophet was experiencing labor pains that night. But it was not just a prophet's child about to be born.
Speaker A
These pains, these pains heralded the coming of another prophet, a ruler who would possess a kingdom never granted to anyone else, one who would rule over the jinn and the wind, and understand the language of animals.
Speaker A
Are you okay?
Speaker A
Yes, I am okay. And I am very happy to have given you an heir.
Speaker A
We gifted Solomon to David. What an excellent servant he was. Indeed, he always turned to God.
Speaker A
Bring peace, peace, wellness, serenity, and safety to my people. Your name is Solomon.
Speaker A
Years were passing. Little Prophet Solomon was growing up with the upbringing of his father David and the compassion of his mother. Even as a child, Solomon was witnessing the cases heard in his father David's presence, learning the intricacies of justice and statecraft.
Speaker A
You ruined it. You will give me your sheep as compensation for my loss.
Speaker A
My sheep are worth much more than this. This is unfair. Do you know how much effort I put into these crops?
Speaker A
Your sheep are not even enough. I also put a lot of effort into my sheep. If you don't give me your sheep, I will complain to Prophet David about you.
Speaker A
If you seize my sheep, I will be the one complaining about you.
Speaker A
Walk then, let's go together. Let Prophet David decide between us. I am sure he will find me right.
Speaker A
Walk, let's go. Read slowly, my son. First try to understand, then speak with your tongue.
Speaker A
I understand, father. When knowledge unites with understanding, it turns into wisdom.
Speaker A
My lord? Two people have come. They want to complain about each other. Let them in. What is your complaint?
Speaker A
My sovereign. I am a farmer. Like every year, I planted my field this year too. I spent a lot of labor for this. But this man's sheep ravaged my crop. I want my loss to be compensated.
Speaker A
Otherwise, my children will go hungry in the winter. Is what this man says true?
Speaker A
My sovereign, my sheep got out of control. It is true that they entered this man's field and damaged his crop.
Speaker A
However, he wants to seize all my sheep in return for his loss. These sheep are my only means of livelihood.
Speaker A
My sovereign. If he takes my sheep, what work will I do? I will go hungry.
Speaker A
My sovereign. And remember David and Solomon. When they judged concerning the field, when the people's sheep had strayed into it at night. And We were witnesses to their judgment. We gave understanding of it to Solomon. And to each of them We gave judgment and knowledge. Surah Al-Anbiya, verse 79.
Speaker A
My sovereign father, if you allow, I would like to state my opinion.
Speaker A
I am listening, Solomon. Father, let us give the sheep to the farmer. Let the sheep stay with him until the field returns to its former state. During this time, let the farmer benefit from the sheep's milk and wool. Thus, let him be compensated for the loss he suffered. When the field is back to its former state, let the sheep be returned to the shepherd. So that neither the farmer nor the shepherd will be aggrieved. Are you satisfied with this verdict?
Speaker A
Yes, we are, my sovereign. Well done, Solomon. You delivered a very just verdict. Guards, let the notables of my kingdom be in my presence tomorrow. I will make an announcement to them.
Speaker A
As you command, my sovereign. Did David give a verdict on your case?
Speaker A
Not David, Solomon gave it.
Speaker A
Solomon gave it? That boy is only 8 years old. So, what is the verdict?
Speaker A
My sheep will remain with the landowner until the field returns to its former state. In the meantime, the landowner will cover his losses by using the sheep's wool and milk. When the field is restored, the sheep will be returned to me.
Speaker A
That is a very fair and clever solution. Did that boy really give this verdict?
Speaker A
Why did the prophet call us, I wonder?
Speaker A
I don't know. What could he be announcing?
Speaker A
Welcome to our palace. Notables of my kingdom.
Speaker A
You are wondering why I called you. The only one who is eternal is Allah, the Lord of the worlds. Except for Him, we are all mortal. One day, I will die too. After I die, I want my son Solomon to take my place. He is my heir.
Speaker A
How can this be? It is unacceptable. He is still a child. It is too early for him to lead a kingdom.
Speaker A
Are we going mushroom picking, neighbor?
Speaker A
Wait, I'll grab the baby and be right there. Come on, we are ready.
Speaker A
Love justice and do not stray from the truth. Remember Solomon, the greatest test of kingship is justice. Look not at people's status, but at what is right. The rich and the poor are equal in your presence.
Speaker A
Listen to the people. Do not judge people by their position or their wealth. Treat everyone equally and fairly.
Speaker A
They both fell asleep. It rained yesterday. I am sure we will find many mushrooms.
Speaker A
I found one here too. Here you go, Solomon. This is for you.
Speaker A
Thank you. Today was fruitful. Let's head back now.
Speaker A
Yes, we collected many mushrooms. That is enough, let's go back.
Speaker A
Oh my God, one of the baskets is gone. Look, there are wolf tracks. I think a wolf took the basket.
Speaker A
It is not here. It is not anywhere. This is my basket. The basket the wolf took is yours.
Speaker A
No, that is my basket. The wolf actually took yours. We cannot solve it this way. Let's go to the city. People of reason will decide. Let us go.
Speaker A
They will say it is mine. O sages of Jerusalem, please judge between us.
Speaker A
What is the problem? Tell us. I hope we give the right judgment for you.
Speaker A
We are neighbors and close friends. We both have small babies. This morning, we went to the forest above together to pick mushrooms. We left our baskets under a tree. While picking mushrooms, we strayed a bit from them. When we returned, one of our babies was gone. There were wolf tracks there. The one remaining is my baby. My friend claims it is hers. No, it is mine.
Speaker A
What was the gender of the babies? Both are boys. It is impossible to judge this.
Speaker A
What is happening? What is the problem? Come here, little Solomon. These women went to the forest together. A wolf took one of their babies. When they returned, they could not agree on who the remaining baby belonged to. Both say it belongs to them. It is impossible to give a verdict on this. Bring me a sharp knife.
Speaker A
What will you do with the knife, Solomon?
Speaker A
I will cut it in two. I will give one piece to each.
Speaker A
I beg you, Solomon. Do not touch him.
Speaker A
Fine, let it be her child, but let him live. Give the baby to her. She is the real mother.
Speaker A
By God, Solomon is right. By God, Solomon, the vulture took my baby. Do not worry, you will be reunited in heaven. May God give you patience.
Speaker A
O Solomon, how did you know she was the real mother?
Speaker A
Only a mother would endure the pain of separation just to see her child live.
Speaker A
That is how I knew.
Speaker A
That is very clever. By God, I would not have thought of that. I could not have thought of it. I heard what happened. I am proud of you, my son.
Speaker A
Did you hear Solomon's ruling?
Speaker A
Yes. That boy is truly wise.
Speaker A
A powerful storm is coming. Take in the sails.
Speaker A
Pull on the oars. Be careful, the storm is intensifying. There are rocks on the port side. Pull on the oars.
Speaker A
Grandma, I am very hungry.
Speaker A
It is alright, my child. Grandma will prepare something for you soon. We have no flour left. This is our last money.
Speaker A
Do not leave them helpless. Send them lawful provision. Your treasure is infinite. Do not withhold it from us.
Speaker A
Turn the rudder. We must get away from the rocks. Pull on the oars.
Speaker A
Oh. Wait, my little lambs. I am going to get some flour. My son, I am going to buy flour.
Speaker A
How much? Mother. This is all the money I have. Whatever it is worth, that is it.
Speaker A
It is not much, Mother, but I will give it to you. May God be pleased with you, my son. Drain the water. It is taking on too much water.
Speaker A
wisdom. Like those before us, we are temporary, and death will catch us too. This mortal world. My will to you is to never deviate from justice. Spread the decrees of God to the whole world. I wonder why he called us? I wonder why
Speaker A
he called us? Welcome to our palace. Let everyone approach. As you know, I have become very old. From this day forward, I am handing over my throne to my son, Suleyman. I am sure that he will serve his people very well and
Speaker A
that you will give him the necessary support. He is too young. Did you hear?
Speaker A
Suleyman has taken the throne. He is too young. How will he be king? He has made wise decisions in many events. I am sure he will be a very good king.
Speaker A
Mother, how is my father today? He is very tired. He is sleeping. Mother, please take good care of my father. My King, your father. Do not worry, my dear father. I will take care of your trust. I will establish justice
Speaker A
across the world, never straying from God's commands. My Lord, forgive me and grant me a kingdom such as will not belong to anyone after me. Indeed, You are the Forgiver, and Solomon's prayer was answered. Almighty God declares thus. Surah Sad, 36th. Verse. So We
Speaker A
subjected the wind to him. It would blow gently wherever he commanded. And We subjected to him the demons who build and dive. Do not fear, O Solomon.
Speaker A
I am Gabriel. God has answered your prayers. O Solomon, He has chosen you as a prophet. He has also granted you a kingdom like no other. Take this ring.
Speaker A
Spread His judgment and justice across the earth. Eternal thanks to You, my Lord. I swear I will proclaim His judgment to the world.
Speaker A
In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. I am Solomon, son of David, the messenger of the One God. This decree is my proclamation. Cease worshiping idols. Believe in the One who holds absolute power. Protect the rights of the oppressed. Rule your
Speaker A
people with justice. Do not deviate from the command of the All-Powerful God. The scales of justice do not falter. Whoever turns their back on the truth in this decree shall reap what they sow.
Speaker A
Distribute this decree to all kingdoms. Let the messengers set out immediately. As you command, my sovereign. Peace be upon the Prophet of God. O hoopoe, how is this possible? Did you just speak to me? Yes. O Solomon, God has given you a
Speaker A
great kingdom. Just as you spoke to me, you can understand the languages of all animals. We have been informed that all creatures must obey your commands.
Speaker A
Alert all the birds. Gather intelligence for me. Disperse into the kingdoms. I want to know everything about the state of kingdoms, water sources, and precious minerals. As the Prophet of God commands. Who are you?
Speaker A
We are jinns, born of a different essence, O Solomon. The days are granted to you, and the nights are granted to us. We live in tribes. We were created from smokeless fire.
Speaker A
Humans cannot see us. But by God's will , your veil has been lifted. We move very quickly. We have species living in the sea, the desert, and the forest. We have been subjected to your command. I wish to see a representative from every
Speaker A
species. I do not take orders from any son of Adam. I am superior to them. Do you defy the command of God? Take this rebel away. Imprison him at the bottom of the sea. As you command, my king.
Speaker A
Call the chief architect to me. At once , my king. As you command, my king. I want you to do this. My lord, it is impossible for us to carve and use stones of this magnitude. The stones you want will come to the place you
Speaker A
want by themselves. Starting tomorrow, your kind will carve the rocks for the palace construction and place them as the architect directs. To decorate the palace, your kind will mine diamonds and emeralds. Your kind will extract coral and pearls from the bottom of the
Speaker A
sea for decoration. Ah. Yeah. I have received the decree of Prophet Solomon. Convey our respects to him. Tell him we will obey his decree. We accept the kingdom of Damascus. Declare that we believe in the One God and submit to
Speaker A
His judgment. As the Kingdom of Tayma, we accept Solomon's decree. Convey our respects. The messenger of Solomon, son of David, has arrived. He wishes to appear before you.
Speaker A
Let him in. Peace be upon you. I have brought the decree of Solomon, son of David, the Prophet of God. Hmm. What is this nonsense? Who does this Solomon, son of David, think he is? Does he think we will abandon our ancestors '
Speaker A
religion because of this piece of paper ? Don't he know we have impenetrable walls, and invincible armies? Let that boy come and bring the God he trusts with him. I will teach him the lesson he deserves. I will convey your message
Speaker A
to Solomon. He will not be pleased with this. The messenger you sent to the Kingdom of Sidon has returned.
Speaker A
Messenger, tell me, what was the King of Sidon's reply to our decree? Tell me . I am listening, sir. He tore up your decree and said he does not recognize you. He said they would not abandon their ancestors' religion for a piece
Speaker A
of paper. He said he has invincible armies and impenetrable walls. "Let that boy come and bring the God he trusts with him. I will teach him the lesson he deserves," he said. "He said.
Speaker A
You may withdraw. Peace be upon you. Call the commander. At your command. I have arrived. Your orders, my King?
Speaker A
Have 100 cavalry units prepared. Prepare a galley on the coast. We are setting sail. O ants, enter your dwellings. Lest Solomon and his armies crush you without realizing it. Surah An-Naml, 18th verse. My King, we have a journey of about 3 months ahead. I have
Speaker A
prepared the necessary provisions. Don't worry, captain. It will take at most 3 hours. Everyone hold on. O Wind, by God's permission, carry us swiftly to the shores of the Kingdom of Sidon.
Speaker A
Sir? Solomon's army has landed. They are moving into marching formation. So soon? How is that possible? How many are they?
Speaker A
100 cavalrymen. Sir? That fool must be delirious. Is he coming at me with 100 people? Prepare 10,000 men. I will crush them like bugs. Ah. I heard you tore up my decree. I came to give you one last chance. You are either blind
Speaker A
or a fool. Did you not see my army? Where is your God? The Most Gracious and the Most Merciful God is everywhere . I have come to you with His miracles.
Speaker A
Before I crush you, show me your miracles, let us see. O horses, by God's permission, throw off your riders . Lay them on the ground. Ah. God is capable of everything. Look, the army you trusted so much is fleeing without
Speaker A
looking back. I have believed in your Lord. And I have pledged allegiance to you. Ah. H Where is the Hoopoe? Why can I not see him? Sir? He is gathering information in the kingdoms under your orders. O Hoopoe, where are you? Why
Speaker A
could I not see you? I have learned something you do not know. Sir, I come from the city of Sheba. I saw a woman ruling there. She has been given everything, and she has a very grand throne. But I found her and her people
Speaker A
prostrating to the sun instead of God. Wait for me here. Take this letter. Leave it on that ruler's bed. Summon all my advisors immediately.
Speaker A
As you command, my Queen. This note was secretly left on my bed. My Queen, how can that be? With so many guards present?
Speaker A
Yes. It was sent by Solomon, son of David, who claims to be a prophet. He says if we do not stop worshiping the sun and idols, he will raze Sheba to the ground.
Speaker A
My Queen, you are our Queen. Whatever orders you give, it is our duty to fulfill them. We are a strong society, my Queen. If you wish, let us prepare our army. We can fight him. No, I have a better idea. Prepare the camels and
Speaker A
gifts immediately. Let them depart at once. Let's see, does he fight for God or for treasure? Let us see. My King, envoys from the city of Sheba wish to be received. Bring them in. Great King Solomon, we bring the greetings and
Speaker A
priceless gifts of our Queen Belkis. I swear, I swear the treasures God has given me are far more valuable. Take them all back.
Speaker A
My lady, the envoys sent to Solomon's kingdom have returned. Let them come in. What was his answer? He sent all your gifts back. He said the treasures God has bestowed upon him are far more valuable than your gifts. So, his goal
Speaker A
is not treasure. Make preparations. I will go myself. O, you nobles! Who can bring me the throne of Belkis? I can. I will bring it to you before you rise from your seat. I can bring that throne to you before you even blink your eye.
Speaker A
Bring it. The Queen of Sheba has arrived, my King. Let her enter. Welcome, Queen Belkis. Please, come in.
Speaker A
Is this your throne? I have believed in your God and that you are His prophet.
Speaker A
O Solomon. When We decreed death for Solomon, nothing informed them of his death except a creature of the earth gnawing at his staff. When he fell, the jinn realized that if they had known the unseen, they would not have
Speaker A
remained in that humiliating torment. He has been dead for a long time. We are finally free. H
