Bilqis

Bilqis — though not named in the Quran, identified in Islamic tradition as the Queen of Sheba — was one of the most powerful rulers of her era, possessing 'everything' and a magnificent throne, according to the hoopoe's report. Sulayman invited her to submit to Allah rather than threatening military conquest; she sent gifts, which Sulayman returned; she came to his court and was shown a miracle (the materialization of her throne in an instant); and she declared 'My Lord, I have wronged myself, and I submit with Sulayman to Allah, Lord of all worlds.' Ibn Kathir presents her submission as the ideal outcome of prophetic diplomacy: a powerful person who chose faith through the persuasion of genuine wisdom, not through coercion.

As understood in the classical tradition of Ibn Kathir and the scholars of his school.
