The story of the Queen of Sheba
0:05
The intelligence of the Queen of Sheba
0:11
Evidence remains in the story of the Queen of Sheba
0:14
It indicates the intelligence of this queen
0:17
And in this episode
0:19
Another proof of her intelligence
0:23
The Prophet of God, Solomon, peace be upon him
0:26
He wanted to test her to find out how smart and intelligent she was
0:31
Until men prevailed over them
0:34
He said to his soldiers
0:35
They denied her her throne
0:38
We will see if you will be guided or will you be among those who are not guided
0:43
I mean, they changed the features of her throne
0:47
This is a big surprise for the Queen of Sheba
0:51
Her throne is in Yemen
0:53
It is far from the kingdom of Solomon
0:57
Transferring the throne takes a long time
1:00
The throne is also heavily guarded
1:04
People's hands will not reach it
1:07
Then changing the features of her throne
1:10
Make him suspicious of the observer
1:12
Is it her throne or not?
1:15
When the Queen of Sheba arrived
1:17
To the Prophet of God Solomon, peace be upon him
1:21
He offered his army the throne to her
1:23
And they told her
1:25
Is this your throne?
1:27
This is the test he wanted
1:30
And the Prophet of God Solomon, peace be upon him
1:33
Here the intelligence of this queen or not appears
1:38
The answer to the question may be yes or no
1:42
If she denied that it was her throne
1:44
Although there are signs indicating it
1:48
You will be embarrassed
1:50
Even if it is proven that it is her throne, despite the differences
1:54
You will be embarrassed as well
1:57
But it's her intelligence
1:59
She replied with a sarcastic answer
2:01
She said as if it was him
2:04
She neither proved nor denied
2:07
She passed this test that the Prophet of God, Solomon, peace be upon him, prepared for her
2:14
This is beneficial for those who talk to people
2:18
Pay attention to the third possibility of the answer
2:21
Because some people want to limit the answer to two ways
2:26
Yes or no
2:28
With me or against me
2:30
The smart interlocutor
2:32
He can come up with a third answer
2:35
It did not occur to the questioner
2:38
Here comes an important question
2:41
This is how this smart, intelligent woman
2:45
To fall into violation of common sense
2:48
So you worship the sun, which does no harm or benefit
2:53
Where did her intelligence and acumen go?
2:56
Didn't her mind guide her to the corruption of this act?
3:00
To prostrate to the sun instead of God
3:03
Such a question may be asked today by scholars in different scientific specializations
3:10
He has great inventions
3:13
However, some of them worship idols
3:16
Some of them say that three are one and one is three
3:21
No explanation is known for it
3:24
Didn't their mind guide them to worship the One Almighty God?
3:29
And the invalidity of what they worship
3:32
The answer comes to us in the Holy Qur’an from the All-Knowing, the All-Aware, Glory be to Him
3:37
To show us where the error is
3:39
What happened to people like these from the Queen of Sheba and others
3:45
Let people know that every question may be answered or put to the human mind
3:51
He has an answer in the Book of God
3:54
Either in general or as an explanation
3:58
God Almighty said in explaining the answer to this question
4:02
What prevented her from worshiping other than God
4:06
She was from an unbelieving people
4:11
Al-Saadi, may God have mercy on him, said
4:13
God Almighty said
4:15
What prevented her from worshiping other than God
4:19
That is, about Islam
4:21
Otherwise, she has the intelligence and acumen to know truth from falsehood
4:27
But false beliefs destroy the insight of the heart
4:31
She was from an unbelieving people
4:35
So she continued their religion
4:38
The isolation of one from the people of religion and continuous habit
4:42
With something that his mind sees as their misguidance and error
4:46
It is rarest of all
4:48
This is why it is not surprising that she remains in disbelief
4:53
The verse indicates the danger of surrendering to customs and traditions
4:59
Without presenting it on the scale of Sharia
5:02
Because it prevents a person from accepting the truth
5:06
This is the scourge of the people who objected to the call of their prophets
5:13
God Almighty said about them
5:15
And when they are told, “Follow what God has revealed.”
5:22
They said, “Rather, we follow what our fathers taught us to do.”
5:31
Even if their fathers did not understand anything and were not guided
5:44
And God Almighty said
5:46
And when it is said to them, “Come to what God has revealed and to the Messenger.”
5:54
They said, “What we found our fathers upon is sufficient for us.”
6:01
Even if their fathers knew nothing and were not guided
6:09
The people of Hood objected to him by saying:
6:13
They said, “You have come to us to worship God alone and to abandon what our fathers worshiped.”
6:25
Bring to us what you promise us. You are among the truthful
6:34
And Pharaoh's people said to Moses
6:38
They said, “You have come to us to distract us from what we found our fathers in.”
6:47
And you will have pride in the land, and we will not believe you
6:56
And God Almighty said about the people of Saleh
6:59
They said, “O Saleh, you were among us as a hope before this.”
7:07
Do you forbid us to worship what our fathers worshiped?
7:14
We are in doubt about what Mary is calling us to do
7:25
He said about the people of Shuaib
7:28
They said, “O Shuaib, your prayers command you that we abandon what our fathers worshiped.”
7:37
Or we can do with our money whatever we want
7:45
You are forbearing and wise
7:51
And so are the rest of the prophets and those who follow their path and follow their path
7:57
If he calls to God Almighty and follows His law
8:01
Some community members confronted him with such words
8:06
There is a calling in many societies today
8:10
It is sponsored by the public in particular
8:13
It is reviving ancient customs and traditions in society
8:17
They call it heritage
8:19
They are proud of them as the society's ancient customs and ancient traditions
8:26
Even if these customs and traditions trace their origins back to the pre-Islamic Arab era
8:34
Or return to a deviant religion or a misguided sect
8:39
This is a form of obstruction from the path of God, intentionally or unintentionally
8:44
The child grows up with such pre-Islamic customs
8:49
And the big one grows old at her
8:51
Until it settles in people's minds that it is right
8:55
Violating or objecting to it is invalid
8:59
He fights everyone who denies it and demonstrates God’s ruling on it
9:05
And in the story of the Queen of Sheba
9:07
A second benefit relates to her intelligence and acumen
9:12
We have come across evidence of the intensity of this woman's intelligence and acumen
9:18
However
9:20
The hoopoe deplores that this smart woman takes over
9:23
The position of ruler over men
9:26
The Prophet of God Solomon, peace be upon him, agrees with him in his denunciation
9:32
May God Almighty grant them permission to do so
9:36
And He makes it a Qur’an that will be recited until the Day of Resurrection
9:40
So that people know that it is forbidden for a woman to take office
9:43
Higher positions over men
9:46
It is not due to a lack of intelligence or acumen
9:50
The prohibition is for many other things related to the nature of women’s creation
9:56
And her nature is what God created for her
10:00
And a final benefit related to the intelligence of this queen
10:05
It is that the innate lack of intelligence in women does not mean stupidity
10:10
God Almighty revealed to His Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
10:16
To inform us of a truth related to the creation of women
10:20
It is known only by revelation from God
10:23
Only the Creator, Almighty, knows it
10:27
So we reported it to our truthful and trustworthy Prophet on the day of Eid
10:32
He, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
10:35
I have not seen anyone lacking in reason and religion
10:38
Go to the heart of the determined man among you
10:43
Narrated by Al-Bukhari
10:45
Women's innate lack of intelligence is a fact that only stubborn or arrogant people can deny
10:52
Or rejecting the words of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
10:56
Or a distortion of its meaning
10:59
This deficiency is well recognized by a normal woman herself
11:04
She does not express her opinion independently without consulting the man
11:09
Knowing that her emotions overpower her judgment and thinking
11:14
Unlike the man who rules with his mind before his emotions
11:19
What decreased her intellect increased her emotion
11:24
To match the job for which he was created
11:28
A woman's lack of intelligence does not mean stupidity
11:31
A woman's lack of intelligence is not changed by intelligence
11:35
It is inherently present in women, even if times change
11:41
The Prophet of God, Solomon, explained to the Queen of Sheba
11:45
Some of what God has given him of kingdom, power, and knowledge
11:50
But the story did not end with this event
11:55
We will continue in an upcoming meeting, God willing
11:58
Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds
12:03
The story of the Queen of Sheba with the Prophet of God Solomon, peace be upon him
