Kisah Kehidupan Nabi Sulaiman AS atau Solomon Putra Nabi Daud AS Edisi Bilingual Bahasa Indonesia & Bahasa Inggris Less Allah SWT berfirman: "Dan sesungguhnya Kami telah memberi ilmu kepada Daud dan Sulaiman; dan keduanya mengucapkan: 'Segala puji bagi Allah yang melebihkan hami dari kebanyakan hamba-hamba-Nya yang beriman.' Dan Sulaiman telah mewarisi Daud dan dia berkata: 'Hai munusia, kami telah diberi pengertian tentang suara burung dan knmi diberi segala sesuatu, sesungguhnya (semua) ini benar-benar suatu karunia yangnyata.'" (QS. an-Naml: 15-16) "Dan Sulaiman telah mewarisi Daud. " Beliau mewarisi Daud dalam sisi kenabian dan kekuasaan, bukan mewarisi harta karena para nabi tidak mewariskan. Sebab sepeninggal mereka, harta mereka menjadi sedekah bagi orang-orang yang ada di sekitar mereka, yaitu orang-orang fakir dan orang yang membutuhkan. Dan harta para nabi tidak dikhususkan bagi kalangan keluarganya. Rasulullah saw bersabda: "Kami para nabi tidak mewariskan." Sulaiman mewarisi kenabian dari Daud. Ini adalah hal yang jelas. Allah SWT telah memilihnya sebagai Nabi dari Bani Israil. Begitu juga, Allah SWT telah memberinya kekuasaan (kerajaan) sehingga ia menjadi pimpinan Bani Israil. Barangkali sesuatu yang paling penting yang diwarisi oleh Sulaiman dari Daud adalah tradisi militer. Kemajuan militer yarig dahsyat ini telah berpindah kepada Sulaiman. Daud sebenarnya adalah seorang pengembala kambing yang miskin, tetapi seiring dengan perjalanan waktu, ia menjadi komandan pasukan yang tiada tandingannya. Perubahan keadaan ini adalah sebagai bentuk ilham dari Allah SWT dan sebagai dukungan dari-Nya. Prophet Sulaiman (Solomon) inherited David's prophethood and dominion. This was not a material inheritance, as prophets do not bequeath their property. It is given away to the poor and needy, not to their relatives. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: "The prophets' property will not be inherited, and whatever we leave is to be used for charity." (Sahih Al-Bukhari). And indeed We gave knowledge to David and Solomon, and they both said: "All the praises and thanks be to Allah, Who has preferred us above many of His believing slaves!" And Solomon inherited (the knowledge of) David. He said: "O mankind! We have been taught the language of birds, and on us have been bestowed all things. This, verily, is an evident grace (from Allah)." And there were gathered before Solomon his hosts of jinns and men, and birds, and they were all set in battle order (marching forwards). (Ch 27:15-17 Quran). After his father's death, Solomon became king. He begged Allah for a kingdom such as none after him would have, and Allah granted his wish. Besides wisdom, Allah had blessed Solomon with many abilities. He could command the winds and understand and talk to birds and animals. Allah directed him to teach both men and jinns to mine the earth and extract its minerals to make tools and weapons. He also favored him with a mine of copper, which was a rare metal in those days. During his time horses were the common mode of transportation. They were very essential for defense, to carry soldiers and cart provisions and weapons of war. The animals were well cared for and well trained.
