Después de la muerte del rey David, su hijo Salomón asumió el trono. Era fiel a Dios y observaba Sus leyes y quería hacer Su voluntad. Allah conocía las intenciones del corazón de Salomón y por eso le dio un sueño:
“At Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night, and God said, “Ask what I shall give you.” And Solomon said, (…)Give your servant therefore an understanding mind to govern your people, that I may discern between good and evil, for who is able to govern this your great people?” It pleased the Lord that Solomon had asked this. And God said to him, “Because you have asked this, and have not asked for yourself long life or riches or the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern what is right, behold, I now do according to your word. Behold, I give you a wise and discerning mind, so that none like you has been before you and none like you shall arise after you. I give you also what you have not asked, both riches and honor, so that no other king shall compare with you, all your days.And if you will walk in my ways, keeping my statutes and my commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your days.’And Solomon awoke, and behold, it was a dream. Then he came to Jerusalem and stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and offered up burnt offerings and peace offerings, and made a feast for all his servants.” – I Kings 3:5-15.
Allah usó un sueño para hablarle a Salomón y confirmar Su bendición y protección debajo de él y debido a que él humildemente pidió sabiduría, Allah lo llenó de sabiduría, así como de riquezas y honores como ningún otro rey.
Esta es otra confirmación para nosotros hoy de que Allah usa los sueños para instruirnos y bendecirnos.
