Was king Solomon a moor

Answer 1

No. If Solomon was a real, historical person, he would have been a Hebrew, or Israelite. On the face of it, that would appear to make Solomon a Jew, but as monotheistic Judaism only began some centuries later during the reign of King Josiah, Solomon could best be described as a pagan.

Islam began one and a half thousand years after the time of King Solomon.

Answer 2

There is no historical evidence to suggest that King Solomon was a Moor. King Solomon was believed to be a biblical figure who lived in ancient Israel. Moors were a diverse group of Muslim people from North Africa and the Iberian Peninsula.

Answer 3

There is no question that if King Solomon did live, and there is significant debate among historians concerning his historicity, that he would have been an Israelite and a person following the religion now termed Judaism with several key differences, such as the presence of sacrifices, a prominent position of the priesthood, and weaker position for the rabbis/elders. The issue arises because Islam makes the claim that all of the heroes and prophets of the Bible are Islamic prophets who were proclaiming Islam before Muhammad was the capstone of the religion. Suleiman, the Arabic name for Solomon, is considered one of these Islamic prophets, even though the religion he followed bears few similarities with the religion we call Islam.

Answer 4

No King Solomon was not a moor. King Solomon was born in Jerusalem and was the son of David.

Answer 5

No, King Solomon was an Israelite.
