About this audiobook
Saba': The People of the Flood is the ninth book in the Nations and Peoples of the Quran series. It covers the prosperous nation of Sheba — the people who were given two gardens and an irrigation system, and who were destroyed by a flood when they turned away from gratitude. The book traces the prosperity of the two gardens, the Queen Bilqis and her encounter with the prophet Sulayman, the hoopoe that discovered the nation, the tests of the throne and the glass palace, the Queen's submission to Allah, the ingratitude of the people, the flood that destroyed the dam, the replacement of the sweet gardens with bitter fruit and thorns, Saba' as the paradigm of the prosperity test, and reflections on the gratitude that maintains and the flood that follows.
