Not in Bible But in Quran (25); the Risky Outcome of your Faith in King Solomon

The outcome of your faith in Solomon according to the Bible:

The Bible does not say anything about this issue.

According to the Bible, you are can say that King Solomon:

1) Was IDOLATER! And he burned incense and sacrificed to gods of his 1000 women! ,

2) Did not totally abandon his worship of God,

3) His heart was not fully devoted to his God, and

4) He did not repent after the Lord confronted him.

In addition, you do not expect anyone to blame you if you say or believe in all of that. Also, you do not expect to get any punishment in the afterlife if you say or believe in all of that.

Hence, your faith about King Solomon has neither negative nor positive outcome on you in this life or in the afterlife!

This is the issue from the biblical point of view.

However, this issue is completely different according to the Quran and the teachings of Islam.

=========

The Outcome of your faith in Solomon according to the Quran:

The outcome of a religion is to dwell in the heaven and not in the eternal hell.

Faith together with good deeds is your way to have such an outcome.

Faith has five pillars and they are to believe in one God, the Creator and to believe in the Last Day, in the Holy Scriptures, in the Angels and in the prophets.

The belief in the prophets:

Who are the prophets?

The Prophets are male human beings who are chosen by the Lord of the worlds.

Why has Allah sent prophets?

Allah has sent prophets to humanity, in different times and places, to communicate His message. Since the beginning of time, God has sent His guidance through these chosen people. They were human beings who taught the people around them about faith in One Almighty God, and how to walk on the path of righteousness. Some prophets also revealed God's Word through books of revelation.

What message have the prophets brought?

All prophets gave guidance and instruction to their people about how to properly worship God and live their lives, to find peace in their life through submission to the One Almighty Creator; to believe in God and to follow His guidance.

They all preached the same message; to believe that there is only one God, not to commit idolatry, and to follow the word of God, not to commit sin, etc,

What does the Qur'an say about the prophets?

"The Messenger believes in what has been revealed to him from his Lord, as do the men of faith. Each one of them believes in God, His angels, His books, and His Messengers. They say: 'We make no distinction between one and another of His Messengers.' And they say: 'We hear, and we obey. We seek Thy forgiveness, Our Lord, and to Thee is the end of all journeys.'" (2:285)

What the prophets deserve from the believers?

The faith in the prophets should be based on full respect that is extended not just a human courtesy, but to genuinely believe in their truth and honour.

Hence, the believer should not mess up with the prophets. All the prophets never ever worshipped any god(s) but the One, the Almighty Creator.

In respect to King Solomon - (peace be upon him) was the son of David (peace be upon him). He was very just even as a young boy and he became well known and valued for his wisdom. When he became a man, Allah made him prophet and messenger. He always told his people: obey Allah for the blessings bestowed on you. Obey the laws of Allah and do good deeds.

After his father's death, Solomon became king. He implored Allah for a rule such as none after him would have, and Allah granted his wish. Besides wisdom, Allah had blessed Solomon with many abilities.

Hence, King Solomon is a beloved prophet.

The Creator chose all of his prophets.

Anyone dishonors any prophets, he dishonors the Creator!

If anyone believes that any prophet was IDOLATER, then he has no faith and he will dwell in the eternal hell!

=========

It is amazing that the Quran forbids anyone to mess up with King Solomon and threatens him to go to an eternal hell, although the Bible does not do that!

This indicates that the Quran is not a racial book but rather it is the book of truth.

I really feel grateful that Allah gave me this opportunity to clear up the memory of King Solomon and warn the innocent people not to mess up with his honor, King Solomon, the Beloved Prophet!

Back to the main issue of my series of articles; this is my question to you smart readers: "Is the Quran quoted from the Bible?"

By the way, the disbelieved ignorant Arabs stated that the Quran quoted from the Bible more than 1400 years ago! (Read my article about chapter 25).

What is the legacy of King David off the top of your head?

I need some insight into a modern idea of the legacy of King David. What does everybody know of King David off the top of their head? As much as you can think of!

Stories and songs about David's bravery traveled across the land. Soon King Saul became very jealous of him. He even tried to kill David, but God protected David.When Saul died, David became the new king of Israel. David led the Israelites through many victorious battles against their enemies. Before long, David conquered Jerusalem and it was called the City of David. He built a palace there. Everyone loved King David!The Israelites rejoiced when David and his men brought the Ark of God into the City of David. And King David danced on the streets, praising God!With all their enemies defeated, Israel enjoyed a time of peace. David loved God, and his greatest wish was to build a temple for God. But David didn't always obey God. So finally God told David that David's son would be the one to build God's temple.

David wrote many beautiful songs to God. Most were to praise God, but some were to say he was sorry. David loved to worship God with his songs.

King Solomon's Wall Found—Proof of Bible Tale?
A 3,000-year-old defensive wall found in Jerusalem might be unprecedented archaeological support for a Bible passage on King Solomon.
