ant is one tiny creature i hv always admired right from childhood. i enjoy watching them. cheesy cheesy their industrious nature is one thing that baffles me abt this tiny creature. no wonder the bible admonished the lazy people to learn from the ant. smiley

[size=14pt]SURATUL NAML. The 27th SURA in the Holy Qur'an (THE ANTS)

Significance Of The Title[/size]

The sura's name is taken from the ants whose conversations were understood by Solomon.Similar to Sura 13 (The Thunder) or Sura 29 (The Spider), The Ants has no thematic significance in the Sura beyond it being a familiar phrase amongst believers, a reminder of the sura's story of Solomon.

It should be noted, however, that ants do hold a privileged status among animals in Islam on account of the story of Solomon. Hadith literature tells of the Prophet Muhammad forbidding Muslims to kill the ant, bee, hoopoe, or shrike; it is no coincidence that the are both featured in Sura 27 and that Sura 16 is entitled The Bee. One interpretation for the ant's theological significance coincides with its role historically. As written in the 1993 edition of the Encyclopaedia of Islam, "Since early Antiquity, ants have been an object of admiration on account of ... the feverish activity with which they provide for their sustenance and the perfect organisation of their societies." This perfect organization under one cause correlates well with the Islamic idea of obedience, or ibadah.

Op, thanks, I always thought they add their dead to their food storage. Reminds me of a lizard that was trapped between the holes on my gas cylinder outside. Other lizards stayed with it as if they were gisting and consoling it till it died and they all left the dead lizard.
