#9 Hoopoe Bird/ Hud Hud: Animals Mentioned in the Quran

Stories From the Quran by Meera'n Malik

This podcast delves into the Quranic reference to Hud Hud, or Hoopoe, which is mentioned once in a single verse. It explores the fascinating story of Prophet Sulaiman (Solomon) and his kingdom, in which a tiny bird played a pivotal role in the conversion of the Queen of Sheba to Islam. According to the story, Hud Hud was absent from the assembly, and when Hud Hud returned, he informed Prophet Sulaiman about the beauty and grandeur of Sheba and its queen, who worshipped the sun instead of Allah. Prophet Sulaiman sent a letter to the queen, inviting her to Islam, and Hud Hud delivered the message. The queen was impressed by the wisdom and power of Prophet Sulaiman and his messenger, and she accepted Islam.
