Stories of the Past Nations and Prophets

Ref: Surah An-Naml 27:22

Arabic:

فَمَكَثَ غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍۢ فَقَالَ أَحَطتُ بِمَا لَمْ تُحِطْ بِهِۦ وَجِئْتُكَ مِن سَبَإٍۭ بِنَبَإٍۢ يَقِينٍ ٢٢

It was not long before the bird came and said, “I have found out something you do not know. I have just come to you from Sheba with sure news.

Tafseer / Explanation:

The hoopoe soon returned and explained the reason for its absence.

It brought important intelligence that even Sulayman (عليه السلام) had not yet known.

This shows that Allah may grant knowledge to even the smallest of His creatures.

The bird reported about the kingdom of Sheba (Saba’), preparing for the next part of the story.

The verse highlights humility in knowledge — no one, not even a prophet, knows everything except Allah.

Correct.

Ref: Surah An-Naml 27:24

Arabic:

I found her and her people prostrating to the sun instead of Allah. For Satan has made their deeds appealing to them—hindering them from the ˹Right˺ Way and leaving them unguided—

Tafseer / Explanation:

The hoopoe (Hudhud) reported that the Queen of Sheba and her people worshiped the sun.

Their devotion to the sun was a form of shirk, rejecting the worship of Allah.

Satan deceived them by beautifying false worship and blocking the truth from their hearts.

Their misguidance was not due to lack of intelligence but because of satanic influence.

The verse highlights how shirk is rooted in deception and why divine guidance is essential.

Indeed, I found a woman ruling over them,1 who has been given everything ˹she needs˺, and who has a magnificent throne.

Tafseer / Explanation:

The hoopoe reported that the kingdom of Sheba was ruled by a woman — the Queen of Sheba (Bilqīs).

She was blessed with wealth, power, and resources, showing her people’s prosperity.

Her throne is described as magnificent, reflecting the grandeur of her rule.

Go with this letter of mine and deliver it to them, then stand aside and see how they will respond.”

Tafseer / Explanation:

He instructed the hoopoe to deliver it and then observe their reaction carefully.

The verse highlights the importance of diplomacy, patience, and strategy in da‘wah.

Correct.

Ref: Surah An-Naml 27:28

Arabic:

ٱذْهَب بِّكِتَـٰبِى هَـٰذَا فَأَلْقِهْ إِلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ تَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَٱنظُرْ مَاذَا يَرْجِعُونَ ٢٨
