Description |
Nabi Sulaiman (Prophet Solomon) was a son of Prophet David renown for his wisdom and its special powers. Among his spiritual gifts, he was able to ‘hear’ the voices of the animals and communicate with them. This painting is usually in pair with a similar one in which Nabi Sulaiman talks to the animals of the sea. |
