Allaah Almighty had subjected the jinn to Prophet Solomon (peace be upon him) who used to remain engaged; according to his command and desire; in constructing the elevated and big buildings, chambers, mosques, and making statues, basins of copper and kettles – which were kept on fireplaces. Accordingly, a majestic Mosque named “The Temple of Jerusalem” (Baytul-Muqaddas) was constructed by their hardworking.

After bestowing all such things and power to Solomon (peace be upon him), Allaah Almighty commanded to his family: Take work from these entire things but be thankful to your Lord by your tongues and hearts. You should work in such a way which should be helpful in obedience of the Commandments of Allaah Almighty. You should not construct great buildings for playing, games and amusement. You should make such things by which the creatures of Allaah Almighty may reap advantage and it should be helpful in the worship of Allaah Almighty.
