h-d-h-d

Description

The Arabic root هدهد (h-d-h-d) refers specifically to the hoopoe bird, which appears in the Quranic story of Prophet Solomon in Surah An-Naml. This distinctive crested bird serves as a messenger in the narrative, bringing Solomon news about the Queen of Sheba and her sun-worshipping people. The hoopoe's role demonstrates the Quranic theme that all creatures can serve divine purposes and that Solomon's prophetic kingdom extended to communicating with and commanding animals and birds.
