2. Decoding the verses of the Holy Quran
Who was the Queen of Sheeba?
The Queen of Sheeba, the ruler of Saba (what we now call as Yemen), was a powerful ruler. Quran doesn’t mention her name but it is said that her name was Bilqis. But her kingdom was not as magnificent as that of Hazrat Sulaiman A.S. (he was a prophet s/o Prophet Dawud A.S. and a great ruler of Israel. Hazrat Sulaiman had the power of speaking with the animals, insects and jinns.)
What is the story of Hazrat Sulaiman and Queen of Sheeba?
Hazrat Sulaiman sent a hoopoe bird to bring news from the surroundings. The bird came back and said:

“I have found out something you do not know. I have just come to you from Sheba with sure news. Indeed, I found a woman ruling over them, who has been given everything ˹she needs˺, and who has a magnificent throne. I found her and her people prostrating to the sun instead of Allah. For Satan has made their deeds appealing to them—hindering them from the ˹Right˺ Way and leaving them unguided—so they do not prostrate to Allah, Who brings forth what is hidden in the heavens and the earth, and knows what you ˹all˺ conceal and what you reveal.˹ He is˺ Allah! There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him, the Lord of the Mighty Throne.”
Then Hazrat Sulaiman said:
Solomon said, “We will see whether you are telling the truth or lying. Go with this letter of mine and deliver it to them, then stand aside and see how they will respond.”
When the queen got the letter, she became worried, she thought that Hazrat Sulaiman was going to attack her. She decided to take advice from her officials. So, the Quran says about this:
The Queen ˹later˺ announced, “O chiefs! Indeed, a noble letter has been delivered to me.It is from Solomon, and it reads: ‘In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful. Do not be arrogant with me, but come to me, fully submitting ˹to Allah˺. ”She said, “O chiefs! Advise me in this matter of mine, for I would never make any decision without you. ”They responded, “We are a people of strength and great ˹military˺ might, but the decision is yours, so decide what you will command. ”She reasoned, “Indeed, when kings invade a land, they ruin it and debase its nobles. They really do so! But I will certainly send him a gift, and see what ˹response˺ my envoys will return with.”
Telling this long story short, Hazrat Sulaiman A.S. rejected the gifts that were sent by the Queen. The Queen decided to visit Hazrat Sulaiman by herself. Hazrat Sulaiman wanted her to accept Islam, so he decided to show her his power (that were granted to him by Allah). He challenged the jinns that were in the court and said:
Solomon asked, “O chiefs! Which of you can bring me her throne before they come to me in ˹full˺ submission?”
Now this mission was not too easy. Because he had to enter a palace unnoticed, secure the thorn and had to safely teleport the thorn to Hazrat Sulaiman before she arrives. There was a very strong jinn who said:
One mighty jinn responded, “I can bring it to you before you rise from this council of yours. And I am quite strong and trustworthy for this ˹task˺.”
But there was a man, a human just like you and me who spoke and said:
“I can bring it to you in the blink of an eye.” So when Solomon saw it placed before him, he exclaimed, “This is by the grace of my Lord to test me whether I am grateful or ungrateful. And whoever is grateful, it is only for their own good. But whoever is ungrateful, surely my Lord is Self-Sufficient, Most Generous.”
And the story continues:
˹Then˺ Solomon said, “Disguise her throne for her so we may see whether she will recognize ˹it˺ or she will not be able to.” So when she arrived, it was said ˹to her˺, “Is your throne like this?” She replied, “It looks to be the same. We have ˹already˺ received knowledge ˹of Solomon’s prophethood˺ before this ˹miracle˺, and have submitted ˹to Allah˺.”
Teleportation and Portals
The first question that arises after reading this story is: how is it possible to bring that thorn from Yemen to Israel in the blink of an eye by a normal human being? Yemen is 2,211 km away from Isael, and at that time we knew that there were no fast transportation facilities like airplanes or jets. Even if there were, then “in the blink of an eye” means some nanoseconds. How was that happened? Well, of course, there is some science and teleportation. The man used some kind of portal to teleport that thorn from the palace of Queen to the palace of Sulaiman.
What does Quran tells us about teleportation portals?
Hazrat Zurkarnain A.S. used these portals to travel in the space. The Quran tells about this as:
فَأَتْبَعَ سَبَبًا
So he travelled a course
Zurkarnain was a prophet of Allah and Allah gave him he means to all things (Surah Kahf-84). Zurkarnain travelled through these paths and he reached near a black hole. Quran says:
until he reached the setting ˹point˺ of the sun, which appeared to him to be setting in a spring of murky water, where he found some people. We said, “O Ⱬul-Qarnain! Either punish them or treat them kindly.”
Here “spring of murky water” is very important. If we see the image of a black hole, we will notice that it is black. Basically, the gravitational pull of a black hole is so strong that even light cannot escape it. That’s why it appears to be black and Quran talks about this as spring of murky (dark) water.
2. When Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him went on Miraj (the night journey- Al-Isra’ wal-Mi’raj), he went from Makkah to Masjid Al-Aqsa, where he was ascended to heavens, he led the prophets in a prayer and also met some of them. He talked to Allah and Allah gifted him a gift of fifty prayers that shortened to just five prayers. This and many other just happened in one night. Allah says:
“Exalted is He who took His Servant (Prophet Muhammad ﷺ by night from al-Masjid al-Haram to al-Masjid al-Aqsa, whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him of Our signs. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Seeing.”
And it is narrated by Jabir bin Abdullah that he heard Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) saying”
“When the people of Quraish did not believe me (i.e. the story of my Night Journey), I stood up in Al-Hijr and Allah displayed Jerusalem in front of me, and I began describing it to them while I was looking at it.”
Here is the table of the time for a return trip from Mecca to Masjid Al-Aqsa. (Reference: Secrets of Angels, Demons, Satan, and the Jinns – Decoding their Nature through Quran and Science)

The Prophet was only gone for a portion of the night before returning to Makkah after being given the ability to pray. He came back shortly before sunrise. He was able to observe the vastness of the universe and the connection between our existence on Earth and the broader and more expansive life on other planets during this exceptional journey.
3. Surah Jinn, verse 27 says:
“O children of Adam! Do not let Satan deceive you as he tempted your parents out of Paradise and caused their cover to be removed in order to expose their nakedness. Surely he and his soldiers watch you from where you cannot see them. We have made the devils allies of those who disbelieve.”
Now, jinns are also creatures of Allah, but they can see us from where we cannot see them. Maybe they are seeing us from another dimensions. Maybe there is a portal or a dimension from where we can see things from a very different perspective.
4. Once in a sun eclipse prayer did something that was very related to our concept of portals.
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Abbas:
The sun eclipsed in the life-time of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) . Allah’s Apostle offered the eclipse prayer and stood for a long period equal to the period in which one could recite Surat-al-Baqara. Then he bowed for a long time and then stood up for a long period which was shorter than that of the first standing, then bowed again for a long time but for a shorter period than the first; then he prostrated twice and then stood up for a long period which was shorter than that of the first standing; then he bowed for a long time which was shorter than the previous one, and then he raised his head and stood up for a long period which was shorter than the first standing, then he bowed for a long time which was shorter than the first bowing, and then prostrated (twice) and finished the prayer. By then, the sun (eclipse) had cleared. The Prophet then said, “The sun and the moon are two of the signs of Allah. They eclipse neither because of the death of somebody nor because of his life (i.e. birth). So when you see them, remember Allah.” The people say, “O Allah’s Apostle! We saw you taking something from your place and then we saw you retreating.” The Prophet replied, “I saw Paradise and stretched my hands towards a bunch (of its fruits) and had I taken it, you would have eaten from it as long as the world remains. I also saw the Hell-fire and I had never seen such a horrible sight. I saw that most of the inhabitants were women.” – Sahih Bukhari Volume 2, Book 18, Number 161:
Now how is it possible for a man who is standing in this world to stretch his hands towards a tree that is in paradise? Surely, Prophet Muhammad peace be upon did it, but we examining the scene and extracting science from this. He used some kind of portal that connected him to paradise.
