Additional Information:
She was a Queen in the kingdom of Sheba, modern day Yemen. In the Islamic story, Prophet Suleiman's hoopee bird informs him that the people of Sheba were worshiping the sun instead of Allah. So, the Prophet Suleiman sent a letter to Queen Bilqees, informing her about Islam. Bilqees was smart, and she wanted to see whether Suleiman was truthful or not. So, she sent extravagant gifts to Suleiman, but he rejected them, and instead, invited her to Jerusalem. A jinn offered to transport her throne to the Prophet Suleiman before he could stand up, but a man with knowledge from the people of the book offered to get the throne to Suleiman before the blink of an eye. When Bilqees arrived, she was asked if the throne there was hers. She said it looked like the very one she had left in Yemen. Then, Suleiman had her enter his palace. There was transparent glass, with water underneath. The queen Bilqees thought it was water and uncovered her shins to wade through the water. When Prophet Suleiman told her it was glass, she said "O my Rabb! Verily, I have wronged myself. I submit with Sulaimān to Allāh, the Rabb of all the worlds.” (Surah Namal, Āyat 44)
