Asalamualikum, Ive had this question for sometime now, but Im too afraid to ask someone in person. Prop Muhammed is deemed as the best prophet of all time, and that there were times when rock spoke about him, trees moved for him.Where as it is said that Prop Suleman had great control over all the realms , the Jins, the Animals, The Wind, the Sea etc. Didnt prophet Muhammed have the same power over all the realms, if yes then why did you not use them in the wars he fought. Thanks in Advance.

Why Solaiman bin Dawud (a.s.) is the last prophet who enters the heaven?
I have heard that it has been narrated from Imam Jafar Sadiq (peace be upon him) as the sixth Imam of Shia Islam that he said: > Solaiman bin Dawood (a.s.) is the last prophet who enters the heaven > (Jannah). But I wonder what the reason is that he will enter the heaven as the last prophet?

Assalam O Alaikum my Brothers and Sisters! I'm a little bit confused about who bring the Throne of Sheba a human or a jinn? I have read the Quran verse 27:39 and came to know that a Jinn offered **Prophet Suleman** to bring the throne of Sheba but in the next verse 27:40 **Said one who had knowledge from the Scripture** Who is he who had the knowledge of the Scripture... Jinn or Human? In this Youtube Video the guy saying that the Jinn bring that throne but some of my friends are saying that the one who brought the throne was a human being, not a jinn. (Although in the video he doesn't explicitly refer to verse 40 of Surah Naml, and doesn't say it was a jinn that teleported it but only could’ve) So can anyone help me get out of this confusion?

How many wives did Prophet Sulayman (as) have?
I seen a lot of narrations that have different answers to this question and a few are like he had 99, 100, 700 or even 1000 wives. Is this an Allah knows Best question or something that actually has a valid answer?
