Muslims' living beautiful lives is a blessing. Wealth and glory is a method of communicating religion used by the Prophet Solomon (pbuh).

The Prophet Solomon (pbuh) used wealth, quality and art to spread religion. This is an important method.

The Prophet Solomon told that Moshiach (Mahdi) will be humorous like him and that he will resemble the Prophet Moses most.

The Prophet Solomon (pbuh) trained the jinn and satans perfectly and put them into service. This science will be used once again in the End Times. The one who has possession of the ring and seal of the Prophet Solomon will also put the satans in the ring into his service.

The Prophet Solomon (pbuh) was quite wealthy, but all his wealth was a reminder of God for him. All kinds of horses, birds, fish, pools adorning his palace: All those who gazed at his palace would praise God. Beauty is a reminder of God.

We are obliged to aspire to the ethics of all the prophets mentioned in the Quran. For example, we should admire the Prophet Solomon's (pbuh) magnificence, sense of beauty, art and aesthetics, and aspire to be like him. Certain Muslims estrange these prophets which is a very wrong perspective.

It is a mistake made by certain fellow Muslims that they do not appreciate the Prophet Solomon (pbuh), the Prophet Moses (pbuh) and the Prophet Abraham (pbuh) and try to understand their actions. However, their lives are just as important as our Prophet's (pbuh). God informs us about their lives so that we take example.

According to Jewish sources, the Mahdi (pbuh) will resemble the Prophet Moses (pbuh) the most in terms of disposition; and the Prophet Solomon (pbuh) in terms of humorousness.

Jerusalem, Mecca and Medina are blessed places; even hearing their names would give relief to hearts. We will rebuild the prayer house of the Prophet Solomon (pbuh) in Jerusalem insha’Allah.

Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) used good-looking people to spread the message of Islam. Prophet Solomon used beauty and glory for the same purpose.

The Prophet Solomon (pbuh) used both wealth and human beauty to spread religion. These are effective methods in explaining Islam.

Not only human beauty, but the respectful, kind, loving approach of those people is also crucial. The Prophet Solomon (pbuh) focused on that.

God describes the system of the Mahdi in a veiled manner in the Qur’an. He describes it in Surat al-Kahf, in the story of Solomon and in Surah Yusuf, but in veiled language.

In the Qur’an, God says that He previously made Islam prevail in the world and just like that He will make Islam prevail at the time of Hazrat Mahdi. God will grant dominion to the Mahdi just like He granted it to Solomon and Dhul’Qarnayn before. God is the One Who knows best who to give dominion to.

By the grace of God, we will rebuild the Masjid of Prophet Solomon (pbuh). We will revive the beautiful memory of Prophet Solomon(pbuh).

Both at time of Prophet Solomon (pbuh) and our Prophet (pbuh), the quality and beauty of Muslims made a great impact in communicating Islam. Those who see the beauty, quality, courtesy and joy of Muslims will embrace Islam in delight. A lack of quality would undermine Islam from within.

The Prophet Solomon’s (pbuh) palace was very glorious and his wives were very beautiful. Bigoted minds are unable to appreciate the Prophet Solomon’s (pbuh) love for beauty.

The bigoted minds at the time of the Prophet Solomon (pbuh) were insanely jealous about the dashing beauty of his wives, and their being spruce.

Prophet Solomon used perfection in architecture and arts while preaching the Message of God.

The use of beauty and art is crucial while spreading the beautiful message of Islam. That’s why Prophet Solomon’s palace was majestic.

The Prophet Solomon (pbuh) is the forefather of the Mahdi (pbuh). Hazrat Mahdi will be very much like the Prophet Solomon (pbuh). Mahdi (pbuh) will also love arts, beauty and glory a lot. He will adorn the world. Our Prophet (saas) says that he will prosper the whole world, for Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh).

The Prophet Solomon (pbuh) is the sultan of arts and aesthetics. He is the one who taught arts and aesthetics to the world. Christianity learned the arts from him. They have learned how palaces should be adorned, how the masjids should be adorned, how the buildings should be adorned, all from him. The palaces in Europe, the palaces of the Ottomans have all been built by emulating the palace of the Prophet Solomon (pbuh). The Prophet Solomon is the father of all palaces, he is the father of arts, aesthetics and beauty.

If you have a beautiful mind and a beautiful conscience, God would bring a beautiful person into your destiny. Why did God bring about that much beauty for the Prophet Solomon (pbuh). The Prophet Solomon (pbuh) did not attain those beauties by striving and by working for it. God gave them to him because of his piety.

Prophet Solomon (pbuh) has a very intense, constant and very rational connection with God. That is very important: He never forgets God, not even for one minute and not for one second.

Using beautiful or handsome people, glamorous houses and richness is the method of preaching religion used by Prophet Solomon (pbuh) as told in the Qur’an.
