Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

Asc Wr Wbr.
when prophet sulaymen born?
Where he`s born? 

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

Answer:

When and where sulaimaan born

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Although the Glorious Quran and the Sunnah are silent regarding the place and date of the birth of Prophet Sulaimaan (a.s.), historians amongst the People of the Book (the Jews and the Christians) have recorded that Prophet Sulaimaan (a.s.) was born in the city of Jerusalem about 1000 BC, and he (a.s.) reigned as the King of Israel from the years 971BC to 931 BC (forty years). And Allah Alone Knows Best.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

Burhan
