Prophet Sulaiman vs King Pharaoh

Prophet Solomon was born around 975-935 BC and was born in the United Kingdom of Israel.

Prophet Sulaiman AS died in 923 BC and died in Baitul Maqdis.

Ramesses II was a Pharaoh who lived between 1303-1213 BC. The view that almost all contemporary historians agree on is that the Prophet Moses also lived in Egypt in the 13th century BC.

1. Prophet Solomon

Prophet Sulaiman was given amazing powers by Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, with Allah's permission Prophet Sulaiman was able to subdue Jinn, Humans and Animals so that they obeyed everything he ordered.

There is a history that explains that the Prophet Solomon employed the devil to bring and import stones, sand and other building materials to build magnificent buildings.

The devils are indeed submissive and obedient to the prophet Solomon, but they remain steadfast in their words, namely misleading Adam's children and grandchildren.

Prophet Sulaiman is also known as the builder of the first Holy Temple (Baitul Maqdis) in Jerusalem, which is a holy place for Muslims, Jews and Christians. Prophet Solomon built the Temple with the help of jinn and humans as a place of worship to Allah.

The story of the greatness of Prophet Sulaiman as a man of faith, he was given the advantage by Allah SWT to be able to catch the devil and imprison him, control the jinn, subdue the wind and animals, and become king over humans. With these powers and miracles, Prophet Sulaiman remained devoted to Allah SWT and acted wisely.

2. King Pharaoh (Ramses ||)

Called one of the most powerful and influential Egyptian pharaohs in history, Ramesses II began the first year of his reign by fighting pirates and carrying out major building projects. A preacher who graduated from Al-Azhar Egypt, Ustadz Ahmad Syahrin Thoriq, in his study explained that the real name of Pharaoh at the time of Prophet Musa was Walid bin Mus'ab bin Ma'an. [Al Bidayah ila Bulugh an-Nihayah (10/6434)].

Maybe many people ask why Pharaoh, King of Egypt, claimed and considered himself God. It turned out that the cause was not because of his abundant wealth, nor because of the large number of soldiers and followers.

Pharaoh was known as a cruel king and was a symbol of the arrogance and disobedience of human children. So what caused Pharaoh to claim to be God?

If the reason was wealth, of course there were many other kings who were much richer than him. If the reason was the size and strength of the kingdom, there were certainly many rulers whose kingdoms and armies were stronger than Pharaoh.

Imam Al-Ghazali (may Allah have mercy on him) stated: God willing God bless you God willing Meaning: "Indeed, what caused Pharaoh to have the courage to say, 'I am your Most High God', was because he experienced a healthy period in his life for so long. He lived 400 years and never felt even a headache, his body was feverish, and He didn't even feel tired. That's why he then dared to claim to be God, may Allah curse him. If only Pharaoh had felt a little pain even for a day, that would have been enough to make him feel like he had nothing (so he wouldn't dare to claim to be God). " [Ihya Ulumuddin (4/289) and Quth al-Qulub (2/38)].

Prophet Solomon died at the age of 52 years while Pharaoh lived for 446 years.

Why did a good leader like the prophet Solomon live a short life while the cruel king Pharaoh had a long life?

Why Do Good & Pious People Die More Quickly?

"Why do they go first? Because Allah SWT loves him, that's why he goes faster. Meanwhile, for those whose lives are extended, it means that the longer they live, the more benefits they will spread," said Ustadz Abdul Somad (Indonesia).

Get straight to the point☆☆☆

Just try Pharaoh living in the time of Prophet Sulaiman, not living in the time of Prophet Moses and Prophet Harun. Most likely, Pharaoh would be captured and imprisoned by the prophet Solomon. Even the devil could have been captured and imprisoned by Prophet Sulaiman, let alone Pharaoh. Pharaoh could have been executed by Prophet Sulaiman because he dared to claim to be God.
