THE LANGUAGE OF ANT In the chapter of An-Namle, the Glorious Qur’an mentions the following on the tongues of ants, “One of the ants said: ‘O you ants, get into your habitations”. (An-Namle: 18) Do the ants speak? Who told us that ants speak? Is it conceivable that the ants speak? When the Qura’n was revealed it was beyond the imagination of the mind to say that the ants are speaking. During that time the community of the ants was not known and we did not know that ants do have a language to communicate with each other. Until the twentieth Century, entomology science which has recorded laws, laboratories, scientists and experimental researches. The ants according to the Qur’an have a communicative language. It is said that this language is pronounced through particular ciphers. The ant is the only sect which buries, like man, its dead (victims)after wars. Sometimes, they hold conferences and have some discussions. The ant is able to numb animals bigger than it through excreting a particular substance towards the nervous centers of these sects and consequently, they became paralyzed and unable to move. Then, they cut them into small pieces. Before the coming of the winter, the ants store their food. It is impossible that this can be done with such scrutiny in a community without a language. Communication allows for the conduction of all aspects of life. Thus, the Glorious Qura’n told us that ants have a language for communication, hundred years before modern Science even discovered these facts. The ants have alanguage to communicate and understand each other and have a systematic, cooperative and continually moving community. How does the small ant sees its way when it goes out from its hole (den)? How does it move? Has it intestines to digest its food? Follow it with your sight when it comes to its strength and starts to carry food which is one or more times its size. When it is unable to carry it, you will see it go back to its den without any deviation from the road and will gather with its people to tell them about this food which unable to carry. Then it would return from its den leading a long queue of ants to the place of this food and they all will carry it, in turn, like a funeral until they reach to their store. Afterwards, think about how the ants store their food and how they protect it against decay. Before the process of storage, the ant splits grain into two halves because if it is left in this state it will grow. The ant also splits the seed of coriander into four pieces because if it is splitte into halves only, it will still grow. So, contemplate my dear reader who taught it all this and implanted in its instincts these wonderful skill. In the chapter of An- Namle, Allah the Almighty said addressing the ants, “Get into your habitations, lest Solomon and his hosts crush you (under their feet) without knowing it”. (An-Namle: 18) The ants’ mounds are highly protected and secured. That is because they go into the depth of the earth and do not build their habitations on the surface. Moreover, they do not depend only on the soil in building their houses. Rather, they chew the innermost parts (kernels,core) of the trees and make out of it a particular paste (soggy mixture)like the cardboard in different geometric forms to bear the high pressure. Then they line the inside of their mounds with it. It is not easy to reach to the mounds of the ants, even if you follow them, because they have many entrances and exits. Now we come to the domain of the sea, there is a small fish called salmon which stay many years in the sea, then they go back to the exact river in which they were born. Who inspired them to return to their particular birth place? It is Allah, so, ‘Blessed be Allah the best to create’.
