إِنِّي وَجَدتُّ امْرَأَةً تَمْلِكُهُمْ وَأُوتِيَتْ مِن كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَلَهَا عَرْشٌ عَظِيمٌ
﴿٢٣﴾
وَجَدتُّهَا وَقَوْمَهَا يَسْجُدُونَ لِلشَّمْسِ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ أَعْمَالَهُمْ فَصَدَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّبِيلِ فَهُمْ لَا يَهْتَدُونَ
﴿٢٤﴾
أَلَّا يَسْجُدُوا لِلَّهِ الَّذِي يُخْرِجُ الْخَبْءَ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تُخْفُونَ وَمَا تُعْلِنُونَ
﴿٢٥﴾
اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ*
﴿٢٦﴾
قَالَ سَنَنظُرُ أَصَدَقْتَ أَمْ كُنتَ مِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ
﴿٢٧﴾
اذْهَب بِّكِتَابِي هَذَا فَأَلْقِهْ إِلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ تَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَانظُرْ مَاذَا يَرْجِعُونَ
﴿٢٨﴾
قَالَتْ يَا أَيُّهَا المَلَأُ إِنِّي أُلْقِيَ إِلَيَّ كِتَابٌ كَرِيمٌ
﴿٢٩﴾
إِنَّهُ مِن سُلَيْمَانَ وَإِنَّهُ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
﴿٣٠﴾
أَلَّا تَعْلُوا عَلَيَّ وَأْتُونِي مُسْلِمِينَ
﴿٣١﴾
قَالَتْ يَا أَيُّهَا المَلَأُ أَفْتُونِي فِي أَمْرِي مَا كُنتُ قَاطِعَةً أَمْرًا حَتَّى تَشْهَدُونِ
﴿٣٢﴾
قَالُوا نَحْنُ أُوْلُوا قُوَّةٍ وَأُولُوا بَأْسٍ شَدِيدٍ وَالْأَمْرُ إِلَيْكِ فَانظُرِي مَاذَا تَأْمُرِينَ
﴿٣٣﴾
قَالَتْ إِنَّ الْمُلُوكَ إِذَا دَخَلُوا قَرْيَةً أَفْسَدُوهَا وَجَعَلُوا أَعِزَّةَ أَهْلِهَا أَذِلَّةً وَكَذَلِكَ يَفْعَلُونَ
﴿٣٤﴾
وَإِنِّي مُرْسِلَةٌ إِلَيْهِم بِهَدِيَّةٍ فَنَاظِرَةٌ بِمَ يَرْجِعُ الْمُرْسَلُونَ

٣٧٩
(27/23) I found a woman ruling over them, and she has been given everything, and she has a great throne.
(27/24) I found her and her people prostrating to the sun instead of Allah, and Satan has made their deeds seem decorous to them—thus he has barred them from the way [of Allah], so they are not guided—
(27/25) so that they do not prostrate themselves to Allah, who brings forth the hidden in the heavens and the earth, and He knows whatever you hide and whatever you disclose.
(27/26) Allah—there is no god except Him—is the Lord of the Great Throne.’
(27/27) He said, ‘We shall see whether you are truthful, or if you are one of the liars.
(27/28) Take this letter of mine and deliver it to them. Then draw away from them and observe what [response] they return.’
(27/29) She said, ‘O [members of the] elite! Indeed a noble letter has been delivered to me.
(27/30) It is from Solomon, and it begins in the name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.
(27/31) [It states,] ‘‘Do not defy me, and come to me in submission.’’ ’
(27/32) She said, ‘O [members of the] elite! Give me your opinion concerning my matter. I do not decide any matter until you are present.’
(27/33) They said, ‘We are powerful and possess a great might. But it is up to you to command. So consider what orders you will give.’
(27/34) She said, ‘Indeed when kings enter a town, they devastate it, and make the mightiest of its people the weakest. That is how they act.
(27/35) I will send them a gift, and see what the envoys bring back.’
