 | | Bilqis said,1 "It (the letter) is from Sulayman and it says 'In the Name of Allah, the All-Merciful, Most Merciful.'" Some people criticise the fact that the name of Sulayman comes before the name of Allah. | | | Part of the wisdom of Bilqis and the sublimity of her knowledge lies in the fact that she did not mention who cast the letter to her. | | | It is this that Bilqis learned from Sulayman, so she said, "To Allah, the Lord of all the worlds," without referring to a particular world. |

| | Bilqis reacts to the letter by telling her advisors she has received a ‘noble’ letter from King Solomon, reading it to them, and then asking them what she should do. | | | Upon hearing about this queen, her ‘great throne,’ and her sun-worshiping nation, King Solomon sends a messenger with a letter to Sheba to enjoin her to submit to Islam: “In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful: Be you not exalted against me, but come to me as Muslims” [Quran 27:30-31]. | | | In the context of the Quran’s repetitive emphasis on the superiority of those who recognize the truth of God, at the expense of their prior beliefs and attachments, Bilqis proves herself capable of looking beyond material wealth and glory to find greater reward in submission to God. |

| | If the legend of the Queen of Sheba has an ounce of truth and if she indeed met with the Jewish king Solomon -who is as mythical as she is-, she should have lived around 960-920 BC. | | | She had lived in Marib and worshipped at Mahram Bilqis, which was probably around the 10th century BC." | | | The Sabean civilization nevertheless continued to influence the region, with a written language that dominated until the 4th or 5th century, and a religion, which had the sanctuary of Mahram Bilqis revered up to the 6th century. |
