Such an unfamiliar word “saba”, it turns out, has several meanings. Let's consider them all in order. So what is saba ...
Glorious land
Saba is one of the ancient states that existed from the end of the second millennium to the III century AD. It is also called Sava. It was located in the south of the Arabian Peninsula and took the place of modern Yemen.
This land was famous for fertile lands and an abundance of sun. A huge dam was built near the capital Mariba, which provided the earth with water, turning the barren desert into a blooming oasis. Initially, this state served as a kind of transshipment point. It was here that goods came from Hadramaut and went on to Egypt, Syria and Mesopotamia. In addition to profits from transit trade, Saba received income from the sale of his incense, which was very much appreciated.
The Sabei civilization is one of the oldest. Even in the time of Solomon, this state was ruled by the Queen of Sheba. But there is no documentary evidence of this fact, besides mentioning it in the Bible.
Isle

From the point of view of geography, the island is the peak of Mount Sineri volcano, there are no rivers or other natural reservoirs on it. The western part of the island is completely covered with cacti and thickets of dry shrubs.
Its exact opposite is the east of the island. He is surrounded by greenery. Treelike ferns, oleanders, orchids and hibiscus delight tourists with their lush flowering. More than 60 species of birds nest in the eastern forests, and lizards and frogs hide at the foot of trees.
At first, the island of Saba was inhabited by Arawak tribes (about 1300 years ago). Columbus, during his first trip, saw this land, but could not land because of its rocky shores. And only in 1640 the first colonists from Holland arrived on the island. During the Napoleonic Wars, it belonged to the British, who returned it to Holland only in 1816.
According to the latest census, the population of the island is about two thousand people. The official language is Dutch (Dutch), but English is also very common in everyday life. The main source of income for the island is tourism. Over a year, more than 25 thousand guests visit it.

What is the meaning of this mysterious word?
Saba is the 34th surah of the Qur'an consisting of 54 verses. It tells that Allah always helps those who rely on him, give examples. Thus, Allah softened the iron in the hands of David, and Solomon helped subjugate the genies, who built several altars and temples on his orders. Very few were grateful to Allah for his help. Initially, Saba’s inheritance was beautiful, but its inhabitants became proud and did not thank Allah, for which they were punished.
The sura itself forbids boasting of her wealth and children, and those who do this are strictly condemned. Since only good deeds pleasing to Allah can bring people closer to him, but not greatness, glory and wealth.
