Sura 27
Aya 38
38
قالَ يا أَيُّهَا المَلَأُ أَيُّكُم يَأتيني بِعَرشِها قَبلَ أَن يَأتوني مُسلِمينَ

Yusuf Ali

He said (to his own men): “Ye chiefs! which of you can bring me her throne1 before they come to me in submission?”
  • The throne is symbolical of power and dignity. So far her throne was based on material wealth: Solomon is going to alter it to a basis of Faith and the Religion of Unity.
