Here is a little bit of information in regards to Kings Solomon , the ring that was given to him by God and how he came to have the ability to understand the language of the animals and to be able to control and summon forth the djinn.
His true name was Jedidiah, the ‘friend of God’ but was later made Shelomo, Solomon, the ‘King of Peace,’ because of the peace that prevailed during the greater part of his reign. And other names he had also: Ben, because he was the builder of the Temple; Jekeh because he was the ruler of the known world; and Ithiel, because God was with him.
It is written that at the time Solomon began the building of the Temple, Assaf, the Vizir of Solomon, complained that someone was stealing precious jewels from his rooms, and from other courtiers as well. Even the royal treasury was not immune. Now Assaf was also renowned for his wisdom and knew that no ordinary thief could have done these deeds. ‘Some spirit causes this mischief,’ he counseled the King.
King Solomon was the mightiest and wisest ruler of the earth that ever was or shall be. Wealthy beyond measure was Solomon, and with such wisdom as only Allah may bestow, he commanded the wind, and both men and Jinn, birds and animals. All were servants unto him.
Solomon then prayed fervently to God to deliver the spirit into his hands for punishment. At once his prayer was answered. The archangel Michael appeared before the
King, and put into his hand the mightiest power that ever was or shall be in this world…a small, golden ring, inset with a seal of engraved stone.
And Michael said: ‘ Take this ring, O Solomon King, son of David, the gift which the Lord God hath sent unto thee. Wear this ring, and all the djinn of the earth, both male and female, thou wilt command.’
Now, many medieval sources claim that the pentalpha, or pentacle, the ancient sign of sorcery, was engraved on the ring, because Solomon was known to have been a master of the magic arts. But the pentacle is much older than Solomon, having been first seen on pottery from Ur of the Chaldees, in ancient Babylon.
Other sources describe the ring as made of pure gold, set with a single eilat stone; a diamond perhaps, or the same heavenly stone said to have been part of the Temple, the stone was cut and set in the form of an eight-rayed star and on it was engraved the hexagon seal, and within that the four letters of the ineffable name of God. No one knows for sure what the ring looked like and there is much speculation but the only thing that is known is that King Solomon was given such a ring from Allah himself.
Armed with the ring, Solomon commanded the guilty spirit to appear. He wore the ring on the mid-finger of the right hand, and pointed it at the foot of his high throne, saying, ‘By the power of the seal of the one God, I command thee, troublesome spirit, to come forth.’ A roaring column of flame instantly appeared, reaching nearly to the high ceiling of the throne room many cubits above, and just as quickly was gone. Whether the flame itself took shape, or merely preceded him, could not be seen, but where the flame had been, the djinni stood, caught in his mischief; for he still clutched in his hands a great many jewels just stolen from the royal vaults.
So great was his surprise that he dropped the gems, which scattered like pebbles on the marble floor, and his eyes darted back and forth like twin flames in his broad face, wide wonder came into his eyes that some power existed among mortal men that was greater than his will.
When the djinn saw the face of the King, whose arm pointed toward him, and beheld the seal of the ring. The djinns eyes went wide, and he let out such a howling shriek that the very stones of the palace trembled in their foundation. It was so horrible a sound that all the people of the kingdom who heard it covered their ears and cast themselves on the ground in fear.
But the power of God was within the ring, so that even the djinni was helpless and had no choice but to answer the summon. He fell to his knees and prostrated himself before the King.
‘Mercy, Master!’ cried the Jinni.
‘Name thyself, djinni.’ commanded Solomon.
‘I am called Ornias, O Great King!’
‘Why hast thou done such mischief to my household? Speak truly!’
‘Hunger, Lord of the World! Hunger insatiable!’ And he
revealed himself as a spirit, who with fangs harder than adamant pierces the gems of the earth to drink their light.
‘Why dost thou drink the light of earthly jewels?’ demanded Assaf the Vizir, ‘It is a thing unheard of among the wise.’
But the Jinni was silent.
Speak the answer,’ said the King, ‘In the name of the True God I command it.’
‘Thou knowest my answer, King of Wisdom,’ said the djinn.
Then Solomon looked into his heart, for the forty-nine gates of wisdom were open to him, as they had been to Moses. This derives from the belief that each word of the Torah has forty-nine meanings. And he discerned there the answer, and it amazed him, so that he looked on the Djinn before him with a new understanding and pity.
He then knew the sorrow of the djinni. For the gems of the earth were born at the dawn of the world, created by the death of ancient forests buried beneath the weight of mountains. It was a time of upheaval when both Jinn and Angels were cast out and the world was broken. The light of the new sun was still in the green life of those forests as slowly they were transformed, crystallized by the long years into the light that sparkles from the cut and polished jewels. And so Ornias the djinn, denied the light of heaven, drinks the light of the first morning, feeding his sorrow and his loss.
Solomon burned the seal into the neck of Ornias as a brand of his sovereignty, and the Jinni from that moment did his bidding, and was given the task of cutting stones for the building of the Temple. King Solomon called forth all the djinn who were causing mischief and there were 72 of them in total. Each of them he branded with his ring and brought under his control. Being a man of honor and understanding he took pity of each of these djinn and gave them jobs to do in his kingdom so they would no longer cause mischief.
This is the story of King Solomon and his ring and how the Djinn first came to play a part in mankinds realm. Today the power to control and summon a djinn is a very rare thing, the only way one can have access to them is to know the djinns true given name and you must also posess the one and only true djinn summoning invocation. Without both of these important items no djinni would ever listen to the sons & daughters of Adam.
It is my absolute pleasure to share true and accurate information in regards to the djinn for anyone who has an interest in learning about such things. I intend to use this blogspot to share information and encourage learning in a positive enviorment for all interested.
Abundant Blessings to each of you
