بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

27.44

قِیْلَ لَهَا ادْخُلِی الصَّرْحَۚ-فَلَمَّا رَاَتْهُ حَسِبَتْهُ لُجَّةً وَّ كَشَفَتْ عَنْ سَاقَیْهَاؕ-قَالَ اِنَّهٗ صَرْحٌ مُّمَرَّدٌ مِّنْ قَوَارِیْرَ۬ؕ-قَالَتْ رَبِّ اِنِّیْ ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِیْ وَ اَسْلَمْتُ مَعَ سُلَیْمٰنَ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ۠ (44)

Kanz ul Iman Kanz ul Irfan

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

It was said to her, “Enter the courtyard.” So when she saw it, she considered it to be deep water[1] and she raised her garment above her shins. He (Sulaymān) said, “Indeed it is a smooth courtyard paved with glass.” She said, “My Lord, indeed I have wronged my soul and I submit, with Sulaymān, to Allah, Lord of all the worlds.”

Commentary

This account illustrates that things are not always as they appear to be. Sometimes, seemingly beneficial matters may be harmful and vice versa. When the queen saw the clear glass courtyard, she initially thought it was deep water and hence she took her first steps with great care. Similarly, the worshipping of the sun, which she had considered to be correct, was actually the opposite; it was totally against reality and the truth.
