THE USE OF ELECTRICITY
Miracles of the Qur'an - Modern Science Reveals New Miracles of the Qur'an
And We made a fount of molten copper flow out for him. (Qur’an, 34:12)
One of Allah's great blessings to Prophet Sulayman (as) was "a fount of molten copper." This can be understood in several senses. By the use of melted copper, it may be referring to the existence, at his time, of an advanced technology that employed electricity.
-----------------------------------------------
My Answer
First of all, what does all of this have to do with electricity?
Does the word electric appear anywhere?
All the verse is saying is that Allah gave him a lot of wealth, to the point copper was running like a river, when money was copper!
The big question is this: why did they cut off the verse?
Would it be because they don’t want us to know about the Flying Carpet written in that verse?
I thought they were trying to prove that the prophecies about amazing technology was in the Qur’an? Let’s read about this fairytale in the Qur’an since we are already here.
Let us make a little deep study of one of most fictions stories in
the Qur'an. We will go over:
1) Islam against making statues.
2) Idols worshipping.
3) Solomon dead standing for one year.
4) The flying carpet.
Flying Carpet Ride!
Qur’an 34:12
نَم ِنِجْلا َنِمَو ِرْطِقْلا َنْيَع ُهَل اَنْلَسَأَو ٌرْهَش اَهُحاَوَرَو ٌرْهَش اَهّوُدُغ َحيِرلا َناَمْيَلُسِلَو ِريِعّسلا ِباَذَع ْنِمُهْقِذُن اَنِرْمَأ ْنَع ْمُهْنِمْغِزَي نَمَو ِهِبَرِنْذِإِبِهْيَدَي َنْيَبُلَمْعَي
Qur’an 34:12
Plus unto Solomon We subjected the wind. Its morning journey was a month’s journey, and its nightfall was a month’s journey. And We made a fount of flowing copper to follow for him. And of the jinns they were working for him by the leave of his Lord. And such of them tried to break Our command, We would make them taste the chastisement of the flame.
What we understand from this verse, which they try to hide from us, is how the Qur’an is filled with legends.
1. Solomon is flying by using the wind, which is a flying carpet. I will prove this by showing Qur’an 21:31 later.
2.This wind flies him at high speed. What normally is one month travel now only took him few hours of his morning!
3.It's saying a morning journey which should have been one month of travel.
4.It must have been a really high-speed flying carpet.
5 .I'm just wondering how the one who speaks about electricity, airplanes and computers believes in flying carpets and jinn slaves!
6.The jinns worked for Solomon as slaves!
7.If they try to disobey him, Allah will burn them with blazing fire!
The fact is that it was taken from a legend of the Jews, as we read:
SOLOMON MASTER OF THE JINNS
The word Genies, or AL-Jinn as its in the Qur'an is Romanized, And mostly earliest tales in it came from India and Persia, like 'The Thousand Nights' stories or later the arabic copy of called “1,001 night” the is an coming from old mythological legend
creatures dating back to 2400 BC.
first take a note Jinns in the Qur'an are not same as demons in the bible-scripture. Its made from smoke and fire and it can take the shape of any thing,just to make it clear Satan himself is from the Jinns.
Qur'an 50:18
“Behold! We said to the angels, "Bow down to Adam": They bowed down except Iblis. He was one of the Jinns”
Qur'an 55:15 “And He created Jinns from fire free of smoke:”
jinn are creators and Allah send them Muslim Jinny prophets too from their own kind :
Qur'an 5:130
“O you assembly of jinn and mankind! "Did not there come to you Messengers from amongst you, reciting unto you My Verses and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?" They will say: "We bear witness against ourselves." It was the life of this world that tempted them. And they will bear witness against themselves that they were not believers.”
1. Satan is on of the Jinns and he has kids! As we read
Qur'an 18:50
“Behold! We said to the angels, "Bow down to Adam": They bowed down except Iblis. He was one of the Jinns, and he broke the Command of his Lord. Will ye then take him and his progeny as protectors rather than Me? And they are enemies to you! Evil would be the exchange for the wrongdoers!”
Allah will burn Jinns in fire but its made from fire!
There is Jinns Muslims and infidels , and the infidels of the jinn will be burned in hell fire:
Qur'an 7:38 He( Allah) will say: "Enter and join the company of the peoples who passed away before you - men and jinns, - into the Fire." Every time a new people enters, it curses its sister-people (that get in hell before them),
Qur'an 7:12
(Allah) said: "What prevented you (Satan) from bowing down when I commanded thee?" He said: "I am better than he: Thou didst create me from fire, while him Thou didst create of mud”
Qur’an 55:15
“And He created the jinn from a smokeless flame of fire.” Qur'an: 15:27
“And the Jinn race, We had created before, from the fire of a scorching wind.”
Devils (Jinns) work for Solomon!
It is very interesting to find out That the king Solomon he had many employees, and the best of them is devil!
But what is the job exactly they do?
1. Diving.
2. Building.
3. Fighting
4. And some of them in Jail!
Qur'an 38:37
“And also the Shayatin (devils) from the jinn (including) every kind of builder and diver,”
The funny thing that each time I read Ibn Kathir or other translations made by Muslims, I find 90% of the original text disappear in their translation so they take off every nonsense story to make Islam look better, and that why I say do not ever trust their words.
From Book of Ibn Kathir V.4 p.73 we read (Arabic)
“And also the Shayaten, {from every kind of builder and diver,} means, from them ( the Jinns) were some whom he used to build high rooms, images, statues, and other difficult tasks which humans were unable to do. And there was another group, who dived into the sea recovering pearls, jewels and other precious things which cannot be found anywhere else, and some of them(the Jinns) was cuffs and chained for disobeying or he refuse to work,or he did it wrong or for aggression.
And the text below is as it in Arabic, and you will notice that Muslims in their false translated book for ibn Kathir too the word “ statues” of the translation
The devil's build statues for Solomon?
The reason they hide this from the story because its contradiction of everything Muhammad claim regarding destroying Statues, but the surprising most is how even they fabricated the Qur'an translations in order to hide this big contradiction, they can hide it from you but from me,for very simple reason, I do not need translated Qur'an, Arabic is my first Language so this fabrication is against the ones who can not read their books in Arabic. Let us now go to the Qur'an and show more of dishonesty.
However I found only one translation was more honest about this issue.
Muhammad Picthal translation
Qur'an 34:13
They made for him what he willed: synagogues and statues, basins like wells and boilers built into the ground. Give thanks, O House of David! Few of My bondmen are thankful.
1. Solomon is a Muslim prophet according to the Qur'an so how his God allowed him to make Statues?
2. Statues for who?
3. For what reason?
4. These statues must be so huge to the point humans are unable to make the like of it.
5. So Allah is not the God of Abrahamic faith.
6. There is no reason for god of islam to alow such a thing,and logic its nothing but a contradiction to Yusuf Ali translation.
Qur'an 22:33
“Lawful to you (for food in Pilgrimage) are cattle, except those mentioned to you (as exception): but shun the abomination of idols, and shun the word that is false,”
Army of Solomon
Now when speak about an Army of king we will not imagine that the army have birds.
Like imagine we introduce colonel rooster to you as an officer of the King Solomon Army!
Yusuf Ali Qur'an 27:15
And before Solomon were marshalled his hosts,- of Jinns and men and birds, and they were all kept in order and ranks.
This Army was so unique in every mean,according to Ibn Kathir V.3 p.156 ;
'Regarding Allah saying “ And before Solomon were marshalled his hosts,- of Jinns and men and birds, and they were all kept in order and”
it ben said that Solomon peace be upon him; It is said: it was a hundred leagues camping in a hundred: Twenty-five of the Jinns, and twenty-five mankind, and twenty-five of the bird, and twenty-five of the monster, and had a thousand house of bottles on the wood where three hundred to he already doing sexual-intercourse seven hundred (women) for internment.' To read in Arabic click here
Leagues(The league was used in Ancient Rome, defined as 1.5 Roman miles)
1) 1. The size of the army is 100 X 100 = 25,000 mi.²Leagues. That equal to 5 time the size of country like Lebanon.
2) 2. 25% as first line of his army is from Jinns,that mean 6,250 mi.² the size of army of Jinns.
3) 3. 25% of his army are from birds, which equal 6,250 mi.² the size of army as birds.
4) 4. Is we say each bird will take one foot space maximum,that mean his birds army was about 3,300,0000 million bird!.
5) 5. But how Solomon order his birds?(his Army),the answer in the Qur'an 27:16 “And Solomon inherited David. He said, "O people, we have been taught the language of birds, and we have been given from all things. Indeed, this is evident bounty."
6) 6. but what kind of birds his army was made of? The Qur'an speak of one kind of birds only as we read in Qur'an 27:20 “And he took attendance of the birds and said, "Why do I not see the hoopoe - or is he among the absent?”
7) 7. If you are a bird you better not to lie to Solomon or he will behead you!, and before he do that he will take your Feathers one by one!, Qur'an 27:21 "I will surely Torture him with a severe torment, or slaughter him, unless he brings me a clear reason."
8) 8. The hoopoe has two jobs according to Muslims interpretation,he was a minster of irrigation, and to find women to Solomon due to his sharp vision.
9) 9. Note Allah thought Solomon the language of birds only but yet Solomon understand the language of Ants?, as we see in Qur'an:
Qur'an 26:19 Pickthall trans:
“ And (Solomon) smiled, laughing at her speech(the ant), and said: My Lord, arouse me to be thankful for Thy favour wherewith Thou hast favoured me and my parents, and to do good that shall be pleasing unto Thee, and include me in (the number of) Thy righteous slaves.”
How Ants Communicate?
Incase you do not know Ants are deaf and mute they They communicate by chemical and vibration,so its clear scientific error in the Qur'an.
The Wisdom of Solomon
Al-Bidaia Wa Al-Nihaya By Imam Ibn Kathir V.5 p.358; To read in Arabic click here
“Thus, the story reported by Hafiz Abu al-Qasim Ibn'asakir in translation "Solomon peace be upon him" of his history, reported by El Hassan bin Sufian, Safwan Bin Saleh, from Waleed ibn Muslim, Said ibn Bishr, for Qatada, the Mujahid, Ibn Abbas - he recalled a lengthy summary of the story - that a woman very beautiful woman in the time of the children of Israel, four Israeli leaders wanted to sleep with her, but she refused them all, so they planed among themselves against her, so they reported her and witnessed against her to David, peace be upon him, that she had sexual-intercourse with a dog, so he (David) , ordered he punishment by stoning. When he was on the evening of that day, Solomon sat and met with some young youth, and four of them dressed same as the four accusers, and another dressed as women, and testified that that she enabled the dog to have sexual-intercourse with with her , Solomon said: separate them. He said to the first of them: What color was the dog? He said: black. Then he order him to be isolated, and summoned the other one and asks him about his color, he said: red. The other said: white with black mix. The other said: white. Therefor he ordered to kill them, what solomon did reported David, summoned the four men, he asked them each alone about the color that dog, But they gave different color each,so he David order to kill them.”
What this is story teach is something Amazing;
1. David was a fool he stoned the woman without questing the legitimacy of the accusers.
2. Solomon the kid is more wise than the Father.
3. Women in the time of Solomon used to be accused of having sex with dogs?
4. Where Muhammad get his stories from,if none of this ever reported in the bible-scripture.?
Never has there lived a man privileged, like Solomon, to make the Jinns amenable to his will (Qur’an 34:12 And of the jinns they were working for him by the leave of his Lord. And such of them as try to brake Our command, We would make them taste the chastisement of the Blaze).
THE LEGENDS OF THE JEWS VOLUME IV BIBLE TIMES AND CHARACTERS by
BY LOUIS GINZBERG
Part 3
http://www.fullbooks.com/THE-LEGENDS-OF-THE-JEWSVOLUME-IV-BIBLE3.html
God endowed him with the ability to turn the vicious power of demons into a power working to the advantage of men. He invented formulas of incantation by which diseases were alleviated, and others by which demons were exorcised so that they were banished forever. As his personal attendants he had spirits and demons whom he could send hither and thither on the instant. He could grow tropical plants in Palestine, because his ministering spirits secured water for him from India. As the spirits were subservient to him, so also the animals. He had an eagle upon whose back he was transported to the desert and back again in one day, to build there the city called Tadmor in the Bible This city must not be confounded with the later Syrian city of Palmyra, also called Tadmor. It was situated near the "mountains of darkness," the trysting-place of the spirits and demons. Thither the eagle would carry Solomon in the twinkling of an eye, (as you see from here Muhammad got the flying carpet) and Solomon would drop a paper inscribed with a verse among the spirits, to ward off evil from himself. Then the eagle would reconnoitre the mountains of darkness, until he had spied out the spot in which the fallen angels 'Azza and 'Azzael lie chained with iron fetters a spot which no one, not even a bird, may visit. When the eagle found the place, he would take Solomon under his left wing, and fly to the two angels. Through the power of the ring having the Holy Name graven upon it, which Solomon put into the eagle's mouth, 'Azza and 'Azzael were forced to reveal the heavenly mysteries to the king.
After reading all of this, we know where Muhammad got the flying carpet story from. The coming claim will lead us to more information about the flying carpet.

And horses, mules, and donkeys both to ride and for adornment. And He creates other things you do not know. (Qur’an, 16:8)
End of the claim
----------------------------------------------------
My answer
The first verse is about donkeys and horses and it says he (Allah) created other things you do not know. What does this have to do with airplanes?
Is Allah the one who made airplanes?!
The verse after (Qur’an 36:41-42) is about Noah and how he was saved from the flood. What does this have to do with airplanes? It’s mind blowing how they fabricate stories.
More details are to come with regards to these false claims by answering the next claim.

And to Sulayman We gave the fiercely blowing wind, speeding at his command toward the land that We had blessed. And We had full knowledge of everything. (Qur’an, 21:81)
-------------------------------------------
My answer
So, is this about airplanes or a flying carpet?
The fact is that this is one of those fairytale stories of the Qur’an about a flying carpet being given to Solomon. I will explain this in detail and show how Islam only fits for cartoon movies.
My word to Muslims: you are really doing a great job exposing this fairytale book and its stories because it makes us search and read!
The Flying Carpet
Qur’an 21:81
And to Solomon We subjected the wind, blowing strongly, under his command toward the land which We blessed, And We are of all things Knowing.
“We gave him a mat, a carpet made of wood, the wind blows for him strongly and under his command to the land which we blessed meaning great Syria, and he would place all the equipment of his kingdom on top of it like horses, camels, tents and troops, then he commands the wind to carry it, and the wind goes underneath the carpet and it carries him and goes high with him and the brides will fly on the top of him to keep him in the shades and protect him from the heat, until he arrives to wherever he wants to go, and Ibn Jaber said, that the carpet Solomon had 600,000 chairs on it. And to the first line of chairs, human believers sit on, then jinn believers,”
And Abdulah said, Solomon used to order the wind and it used to gather itself as huge as a mountain and he orders his bed and it will be placed and on the upper top of it, then he calls horses that have wings and they raise him with his bed until he reaches the high sky with all honors and he doesn’t turn his face left or right for showing respect to Allah!
Solomon speaks the language of birds only but yet he understand Ants too?
Qur’an 27:16
And Solomon inherited David’s. He said, (Solomon), "O you people! We have been taught the language of birds, and on us Allah has bestowed some of all things: this is the gift of Allah.
Qur’an 27:17
And before Solomon, were mobilized his hosts, of jinn and men and birds, and they were organized in ranks.
Solomon spoke the language of birds! Why? What for? Did he want to convert them to Islam? Is this just one more fairytale story? When Solomon speaks to a chicken, does he make a voice of one? For sure he does! They don’t speak his language so he speaks theirs! How many languages do birds have?!
The fact is that Muhammad took all of this from the Legends of the Jews.
THE QUEEN OF SHEBA
“Solomon, it must be remembered, borerule not only over men,but alsoover thebeastsofthefield,thebirdsoftheair, demons, spirits, and the specters of the night. He knew the languageofall ofthemandtheyunderstoodhislanguage.
When Solomon was of good cheer by reason of wine, he summoned the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, the creepingreptiles,theshades,thespectres,andtheghosts,to performtheirdancesbeforethekings,hisneighbors,whom he invited to witnesshis power and greatness.The king's scribes called the animals and the spirits by name,one by one, and they all assembled of their own accord, without fetters or bonds,with no human hand to guide them.”
(Source: Louis Ginzberg, Legends of the Jews, [The Jewish Publication Society of America, Philadelphia, 1909], Vol. IV, Chapter V: Solomon)
Qur’an 27:20-21
20And he did search for the hoopoe, how come I cannot find him!
21I will punish him and torture or butcher him, if he did not give a good reason for his non attendance.
On one occasion the hoopoe was missed from among the birds. He could not be found anywhere. The king, full of wrath, ordered him to be produced and chastised for his tardiness. The hoopoe appeared and said:
"O lord, king of the world, incline thine ear and hearken to my words. Three months have gone by since I began to take counsel with myself and resolve upon a course of action. I have eaten no food and drunk no water, in order to fly about in the whole world and see whether there is a domain anywhere which is not subject to my lord the king. and I found a city, the city of Kitor, in the East. Dust is more valuable than gold there, and silver is like the mud of the streets. Its trees are from the beginning of all time, and they suck up water that flows from the Garden of Eden. The city is crowded with men. On their heads they wear garlands wreathed in Paradise. They know not how to fight, nor how to shoot with bow and arrow. Their ruler is a woman, she is called the Queen of Sheba. If, now, it please thee, O lord and king, I shall gird my loins like a hero, and journey to the city of Kitor in the land of Sheba. Its kings I shall fetter with chains and its rulers with iron bands, and bring them all before my lord the king, The hoopoe's speech pleased the king. (Source: Louis Ginzberg, Legends of the Jews, [The Jewish Publication Society of America, Philadelphia, 1909], Vol. IV, Chapter V: Solomon)
Look at how Muhammad copied the story into Qur’an 27:22: Qur’an 27:22-29
22 But he did not stay far long, and he said,: I have found out about things from Sheba with sure tidings.
23 I found a woman ruling over them, and she hath been given from all things, and she has a mighty throne.
24I found her and her people worshiping the sun instead of Allah; and Satan maketh their works as good to themselves, and depart them from the truth;
25 So that they don't worship Allah, who brings the hiding from the sky and the earth, who knows what you hide and you knowledgeable of, 26Allah; there is no god but Him, the Lord of the great Throne.
27 He said, (Solomon), We will see whether you (hoopoe) speakest truth or you are one of the liars.
28Go with this my letter and throw it down unto them; then stay away and see what they will do as return,
29She said, (The Queen of Sheba): to one of her noble helpers there hath been thrown unto me a noble letter.
Let us continue reading and you will see how the Qur’an is identical with the legend of the Jews.
The clerks of his land were summoned, and they wrote a letter and bound it to the hoopoe's wing. The bird rose skyward, uttered his cry, and flew away, followed by all the other birds. And they came to Kitor in the land of Sheba. It was morning, and the queen had gone forth to pay worship to the sun. Suddenly the birds darkened his light. The queen raised her hand, and rent her garment, and was sore astonished. Then the hoopoe alighted near her. Seeing that a letter was tied to his wing, she loosed it and read it. And what was written in the letter? "From me, King Solomon! Peace be with thee, peace with the nobles of thy realm! Know that God has appointed me king over the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, the demons, the spirits, and the spectres. All the kings of the East and the West come to bring me greetings. If thou wilt come and salute me, I shall show thee great honor, more than to any of the kings that attend me. But if thou wilt not pay homage to me, I shall send out kings, legions, and riders against thee. Thou askest, who are these kings, legions, and riders of King Solomon? The beasts of the field are my kings, the birds my riders, the demons, spirit, and shades of the night my legions. The demons will throttle you in your beds at night, while the beasts will slay you in the field, and the birds will consume your flesh."
(Source: Louis Ginzberg, Legends of the Jews, [The Jewish Publication Society of America, Philadelphia, 1909], Vol. IV, Chapter V: Solomon)
We find that the story told in the Bible says the total opposite. It’s the Queen of Sheba who heard of Solomon and she came to visit him. No birds had any involvement in the story.
2 Chronicles 9:1 - KJV
And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to prove Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great company, and camels that bare spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.
1. Every kind of bird has their own language. Can you imagine how many languages of birds Solomon had learned from Allah!
2. The Legends of the Jews is a false source. The maker of the Qur'an took other nations’ fairytale stories and then make it as his god's words.
3. There is an army of birds and jinns and they have ranks!
4. After all of this, how can someone in the year 2012 believe in any of these stories? What is even the point of it?
5. Why is Allah giving Solomon all of this amazing power over humans and jinns, a flying carpet, birds, and money, when Solomon doesn’t fit as a servant of Muhammad? As Islam claims, Muhammad is the greatest!
6. Add to all of this, the Muslim Solomon did not even leave a book of what he did! What was he able to accomplish?
7. No book.
8. No teaching.
9. Not even one sentence in the Qur’an tells us about something Solomon was like. What’s the purpose of all these fairytale stories? Why didn’t Allah tell us about the wisdom of this man?
10. Why can’t the Qur’an focus in a topic and put the story of Solomon in one chapter? We can see it in many chapters, like 21:81, 34:12 and 38:36. All of them are just repeating over and over the same story.
11. Does this god love to say words for nothing?
As the Lord said, in Matthew 6:7 - KJV
But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard
for their much speaking.
As long as the Qur’an is a prayer to Muslims which is Allah words, therefor what's the point of saying the same words over and over again?
---------------------------------------------------------
Muslims’ claim
THE ARMY-ANT IN TECHNOLOGY
Miracles of the Qur'an - Modern Science Reveals New Miracles of the Qur'an
-----------------------------------------------------
My answer
The Talking Ant!
So according to the claim the Qur'an speaks about “Latest Developments in Miniature Technology: Army-Ant Robots”
Let me quote the words of Mr. Harun, but please do not laugh!
“...the fact that Prophet Sulayman (as) could hear the ants talking among themselves...”
Now we have no problem explaining to anyone that it’s about hearing the ant talk! Please remember this for later, because this is very important; especially when we find out that ants are deaf, and of course, cannot speak.
Before I present you the story, I have one question. What does all of this have to do with an "Army-Ant Robot?” It’s every Muslim’s fantasy that everything should be written in their Qur’an. I hope that soon we will get a claim about finding a Disney Mickey Mouse cartoon inside their book.
Even more funny, why are Muslims using an army of ants when Allah (or Muhammad) did not use it?
Qur’an 27:18-19
18 Till he (Solomon) arrived to the ant's valley, and an ant said to the other ants, “Hide in your houses before Solomon's army smashes you with their feet without knowing,”
19 So he smiled, amused at its speech.
1. The first funny thing in this verse is that this valley can only be found in Syria! Where is it?
2. Does it mean that Solomon only found ants in his way in that place? Aren't there ants all over the earth?
3. Does it mean that this was the state of the ants and Solomon was crossing their borders?!
4. Solomon can listen to all insects talk? This would make any man go crazy due to the remarkable number of insects.
5. A simpler question to ask first is, do ants talk?
6. Question: How do ants communicate in an organized, complex colony? Answer: Ants use pheromones (chemical signals), physical touch, and sometimes the vibration of their bodies to send messages about food, enemies, and the nest.
You can visit this link and read what the professionals say about the communication of ants:
we did provide before a video above for how ants communicates but you can read more click here
Pheromones
“By releasing chemical signals, called pheromones, ants guide each others in their colony to directions of food sources, or warn them of any danger.
Sound
“Using a variety of methods, such as clicking their mandibles or knocking their heads against solid objects, ants can produce squeaks and grating noises that are sometimes even audible to humans. Nearby ants will get the message, which is often one of alarm, by detecting the sound vibrations.”
We see big mistakes in the verse.
1. Ants are 100% deaf.
2.They communicate by chemical signals and sometimes by vibration but not by talking.
3.Did Solomon have to vibrate with them? Does he have their chemical signals?
4.The Qur’an 27:19 reads: So he smiled, amused at its speech. Speech…even when ants are deaf?
5.Were Solomon and the ants clicking their mandibles or knocking their heads against each other?
It’s clearly a mistake and a fairytale story made to impress these Arabs. The fact is, we might find out how Muhammad got these funny stories from Jewish legends, which are filled with fairytale stories. Many are about Solomon, as follows:
On one occasion he strayed into the valley of the ants in the course of his wanderings. He heard one ant order all the others to withdraw, to avoid being crushed by the armies of Solomon. The king halted and summoned the ant that had spoken. She told him that she was the queen of the ants, and she gave her reasons for the order of withdrawal. Solomon wanted to put a question to the ant queen, but she refused to answer unless the king took her up and placed her on his hand. He acquiesced, and then he put his question:
"Is there any one greater than I am in all the world?" "Yes," said the ant.
Solomon: "Who?" Ant: "I am."
Solomon: "How is that possible?"
Ant: "Were I not greater than thou, God would not have led thee hither to put me on thy hand."
Exasperated, Solomon threw her to the ground, and said,: "Thou knowest who I am? I am Solomon, the son of David."
Not at all intimidated, the ant reminded the king of his earthly origin, and admonished him to humility, and the king went off abashed.
(Source: Louis Ginzberg, Legends of the Jews, [The Jewish Publication Society of America, Philadelphia, 1909], Vol. IV, Chapter V: Solomon)
Solomon Was Standing For One Year After His Death
I wish I can keep going with more of funny stories good for kids but its endless so this is the last one will be in this book about Solomon fairytale stories.
Should I say; Once upon a time, there was a King who ruled a great and glorious nation he has a flying horse, and flying carpet can take 600,000 chairs, and he can move all his war equipment on it!
He has Jinns work for him,to dive and bring him gold and jewelry, from the deep sea, once he went to bath room and the Satan come to his wife after he clone the look of Solomon!
He the Satan told her to give the ring back to him as if he is Solomon the King,He wore it, and then he became the king.
I think I better stop here or you guys might sleep and go back to old day when grandma was telling us same kinds of stories.
I am really amazed about the great imagination of the story make to come with such a story.
But what I couldn't believe, that some one will put in a “holy book” a story of a man die standing and stay standing for one year after his death!
Qur'an 34:14 Yusuf Ali trans.
“Then, when We decreed (Solomon's) death, nothing showed them his death except a little worm of the earth, which kept (slowly) gnawing away at his staff: so when he fell down, the Jinns saw plainly that if they had known the unseen, they would not have tarried in the humiliating Penalty (of their Task).”
So the story is simple he Solomon died standing and had his staff(stick) with him at the moment he died, so because of that he was standing for a year after, and no one notice that he is dead, including his wives, Jinns, minsters, solders, even his children's, till the worm ate his staff and he fall to ground floor?
The interpretation can be found in all Islamic books as, Tafsir Al-Quran AL-'Azem by Ibn kATIR V.6 p click here to read from Islamic site translation of Ibn Kathir.
Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
(And when We decreed death for Solomon, Solomon died and remained standing in his retreat for one year (nothing showed his death) the death of Solomon a woodworm (worm gnawed away his staff) and it is said: his short stick. when Solomon fell to the ground, the jinn and human beings saw clearly that they do not know the unseen, they would not have continued in their subservience serving Solomon after his death. People thought before this that the jinn knew the unseen but when they saw this they discover that they did not.

what we learn from this is the flowing:
1. Allah made Solomon die standing.
2. His stick was the reason not fall down,because when the worm ate it(the stick) he fall to the ground.
3. Is it possible that some one stay standing for a year just because he is holding a stick?
4. And wasn't noticeable eventually to his wives, children's, officers ,minsters or even the Jinns?
5. If I hold a stick on my hand it might help me to balance only but its not what keep me standing specially its one stick so the body it self standing on both feet not the stick I am holding.
6. According to the interpretor, Allah wanted to show man kind that the Jinns do not know the unseen, but the fact this is have nothing to do with the unseen, because they can see him in-front of them, same time if he fall down after one year or one day it will not change any thing because a man who do not breath, talk, move, blink , he must be cold as a dead body, its very easy recognize that man is dead.
7. No one even did try to talk to him for one year? If you enter a room and there is a person there you know, and he don't respond to your words and he do not move don't we try to figure out what is wrong with him?
8. Its not a secret that after death all kind of God creations to a new stage, and in less than 48 hours dead body will smell so bad, after approximately two to three days bacteria are active and the body is swollen with gases and accompanying odours.
