Lo! I found a woman ruling over them, and she hath been given (abundance) of all things, and hers is a mighty throne

I found her and her people worshipping the sun instead of Allah; and Satan maketh their works fairseeming unto them, and debarreth them from the way (of Truth), so that they go not aright

So that they worship not Allah, Who bringeth forth the hidden in the heavens and the earth, and knoweth what ye hide and what ye proclaim

Allah; there is no Allah save Him, the Lord of the Tremendous Throne

(Solomon) said: We shall see whether thou speakest truth or whether thou art of the liars

Go with this my letter and throw it down unto them; then turn away and see what (answer) they return

(The Queen of Sheba) said (when she received the letter): O chieftains! Lo! there hath been thrown unto me a noble letter

Lo! it is from Solomon, and lo! it is: In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

Exalt not yourselves against me, but come unto me as those who surrender

She said: O chieftains! Pronounce for me in my case. I decide no case till ye are present with me

They said: We are lords of might and lords of great prowess, but it is for thee to command; so consider what thou wilt command

She said: Lo! kings, when they enter a township, ruin it and make the honour of its people shame. Thus will they do

But lo! I am going to send a present unto them, and to see with what (answer) the messengers return
