Document Details : Title: Solomon and the Horses Subtitle: The Theology and Exegesis of a Koranic Story, Sura 38 (ṣād): 30-33 Author(s): JOHNS, A.H. Journal: MIDEO Volume: 23 Date: 1997 Pages: 259-282 DOI: 10.2143/MID.23.0.563349 Abstract : The Koranic presentation of episodes from the lives of the prophets are sharply defined and memorable. They etch themselves into the mind of their hearers and, from the earliest days of Islam, have awakened among Muslims an eagerness to learn more of these heroes of salvation history, whether out of a desire for further edification, curiosity or a combination of both. |
