10. Hazrat Suleiman (Prophet Solomon)
Hazrat Suleiman, known as Prophet Solomon, was a wise and powerful prophet and king. He inherited the kingdom from his father, Hazrat Dawud (Prophet David), and was known for his fair judgment, understanding of the natural world, and ability to communicate with animals and jinn.
Allah granted him control over the wind, which allowed him to travel vast distances quickly, and the jinn, who performed tasks for him. One of his most famous encounters was with the Queen of Sheba, whose kingdom he integrated into his own after a series of events that showcased his wisdom and the blessings of Allah. Hazrat Suleiman’s life is marked by his extraordinary abilities, his just rule, and his dedication to monotheism.
11. Hazrat Yahya (Prophet John the Baptist)
Hazrat Yahya, known as John the Baptist in other traditions, was a revered prophet in Islam. He was the son of Prophet Zakariyyah and was granted to his father in response to fervent prayers despite the old age of his parents. Yahya was known for his piety and wisdom from a young age, and he lived a life dedicated to worship and calling people to righteousness.
He was a contemporary of Hazrat Isa (Jesus) and is believed to have recognized and affirmed Isa’s prophethood. Yahya’s life was marked by his devotion and his call for repentance. He is also noted for his ascetic lifestyle, often living in the wilderness and surviving on a meager diet. His death came as a result of his outspokenness against the injustices of the time, particularly the unlawful marriage of a ruler, which led to his martyrdom. His legacy is one of courage in the face of corruption and steadfastness in faith.
