Abstract
Surah Ṣād, a Meccan chapter of the Qur’an, presents the narratives of divine prophets, particularly Prophet Solomon (ʿAlayhi al-Salām), to elucidate the foundations of religious education and ethical refinement. The story of Solomon exemplifies a prophet who, despite immense power, dominion, and abundant blessings, centered his life on servitude, trust in God (tawakkul), sincere repentance (inābah), and prompt return to the Divine. This study explores the monotheistic and educational approaches embedded in this narrative and presents a practical model for contemporary conduct. Employing a descriptive-analytical method, the research draws on the Qur’anic text, classical exegesis, and relevant scholarly sources. Findings reveal that Solomon’s story conveys fundamental teachings, including prioritizing worship over worldly concerns, maintaining reliance and repentance, consciously returning to God after trials, proper management of divine blessings, engaging in God-centered endeavors, seeking divine assistance, and freedom from concern over human judgment. These lessons underscore that sincere servitude, gratitude, and attentive return to God form the basis for spiritual growth and access to divine gifts. The narrative provides a practical and enduring ethical framework, guiding individual and social moral development in contemporary life, and demonstrating the timeless relevance of Qur’anic stories in shaping virtuous character and fostering holistic spiritual education.
