Prophet Sulaiman (AS), also known as Solomon, was the prophet who was granted kingship over the jinn.
Prophet Sulaiman (AS), the son of Prophet Dawud (AS), possessed a vast kingdom, and he made a dua (supplication) to Allah (SWT) for a kingdom that would be unparalleled. The reference states, "Prophet Sulaiman made a dua to Allah (swt) : “My Lord, forgive me and grant me a kingdom such as will not belong to anyone after me. Indeed, You are the Bestower.”". This implies a unique and powerful domain, which included control over the jinn, making him their king by divine decree.
Here’s a summary of Prophet Sulaiman's relationship with the jinn:
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| King of Jinn | Prophet Sulaiman (AS) was granted authority over the jinn by Allah (SWT). |
| Supplication | He made a specific supplication to Allah (SWT) for an unparalleled kingdom. |
| Source | The information is derived from Islamic texts and traditions discussing Prophet Sulaiman (AS). |
| Unique Kingdom | His kingdom was unique, unmatched and was not meant to be inherited by anyone after him. |
Therefore, while many prophets were righteous and revered, it was Prophet Sulaiman (AS) who was uniquely given the kingship over the jinn as part of his divinely granted kingdom.
