At last the chieftains of the royal court unanimously expressed this opinion:

They said: We are lords of might and lord of great prowess, but it is for you to command; so consider what you will command (27:33)

Thus, Queen Bilqees expressed her opinion in this way:

Lo! kings, when they enter a township, ruin it and make the honor of its people shame. Thus will they do (27:34)

That is, the outcome of war is always accompanied by the destruction and loss of the humankind. She added this:

But lo! I am going to send a present unto them, and to see with what (answer) the messengers return (27:35)

So when (the envoy) came unto Solomon, (the King) said: What! Would you help me with wealth? But that which Allah has given me is better than that which He has given you. Nay it is you (and not I) who exult your gift. Return unto them. We verily shall come unto them with hosts that they cannot resist, and we shall drive them out from thence with shame, and they will be abased (27:36-37)

Thus, when the envoys and messengers returned and expressed about the condition of the glory and magnificence Outwardly and the Inwardly Kingdom and Prophecy of Hazrat Suleiman Alaihis-Salaam, the absolute sincerity (and single-mindedness) of his Prophethood and his truth became clear to the Queen Bilqees and, for the sake of further satisfaction, she set out to meet him face to face. Since the heart of the Queen Bilqees thought that Hazrat Suleiman Alaihis-Salaam must have some sort of invisible and inwardly force which can deliver one thing from one station to the other station within a moment invisibly without using any physical means as Apports as he had delivered his letter to her by using an invisible power. Possibility is that Hazrat Suleiman Alaihis-Salaam may choose to move some very big and heavy thing fly from one place to other. Then he can easily occupy on their treasures and the artillery. Hence, it is beyond their ability to face a Messenger (of Allah) of such awful and mighty spiritual power. On the other hand, Hazrat Suleiman Alaihis-Salaam had at once arranged to bring the very heavy throne of the Queen Bilqees made of many hundreds kilograms of gold and she was still in transit and he had called invited his Muakalaat and companions and asked them:

O chiefs! Which of you will bring me her throne before they come unto me, surrendering? (27:38)

Of these chiefs, one known as Efreet said:

A stalwart of the Jinn said: I will bring it you before you can rise from your place. Lo! I verily am strong and trusty for such work (27:39)
