Assalam Alaikum, What I have to share with you will very much fascinate you if you believe in the Qur'an revealedto Prophet Muhammad pbuh by Allah, the Most Gracious.This account of Sulaimon clarifies and explains in detail the profound stories found in the Qur'anabout Sulaimon. It is a very lengthy account:

Sulaimon and the Queen of Saba"We shall see," said Solomon, when the hoopoo had concluded the account of his journey,"whether you have spoken the truth, or art to be numbered among deceivers."He then caused a fountain to be pointed out by the hoopoo, performed his ablutions, and, whenhe had prayed, wrote the following lines: "From Solomon, the son of David and servant of Allah,to Balkis, queen of Saba, in the name of Allah the All-merciful and Gracious, blessed are theywho follow the guidance of Fate! follow you my invitation, and present yourself before me as a believer."

signet, opened the letter hurriedly, and, having first read it to herself communicated it to her counselors, among whom were also her highest chieftains, and entreated their counsel on thisimportant matter.But they replied with one voice, "You may rely on our power and courage, and act according toyour good pleasure and wisdom.""Before, then, I engage in war," said Balkis, "which always entails much suffering andmisfortune upon a country, I will send some presents to King Solomon, and see how he willreceive my ambassadors. If he suffers himself to be bribed, he is no more than other kings whohave fallen before our power; but if he reject my presents, then is he a true prophet, whose faithwe must embrace."http://www.sacred-texts.com/isl/bkt/bkt11.htmCompare this to Quran verses:
