بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

27.41-43

قَالَ نَكِّرُوْا لَهَا عَرْشَهَا نَنْظُرْ اَتَهْتَدِیْۤ اَمْ تَكُوْنُ مِنَ الَّذِیْنَ لَا یَهْتَدُوْنَ(41) فَلَمَّا جَآءَتْ قِیْلَ اَهٰكَذَا عَرْشُكِؕ-قَالَتْ كَاَنَّهٗ هُوَۚ-وَ اُوْتِیْنَا الْعِلْمَ مِنْ قَبْلِهَا وَ كُنَّا مُسْلِمِیْنَ(42) وَ صَدَّهَا مَا كَانَتْ تَّعْبُدُ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِؕ-اِنَّهَا كَانَتْ مِنْ قَوْمٍ كٰفِرِیْنَ(43)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Imaan

Sulaimaan commanded, 'Change the appearance of the throne of the woman; making it look unfamiliar to her so that we may gauge whether she recognises it, or becomes of those who remain unaware.' Then, when she came, it was said to her, 'Is your throne like this?' She said, 'It seems to be the same, and we have become aware of this (i.e. of your Prophethood) before this incident and we submit (to you).' And the thing she used to worship other than Allah prevented her; she was indeed from the disbelieving people.

Commentary

Sun worship had prevented Bilqīs from worshipping Allah almighty and affirming His Oneness or from accepting Islam. Bilqīs was affiliated with a nation who would worship the Sun, and as she was brought up amongst them, she only knew how to worship the Sun.
