Could Sulaiman (a.s.) Speak with Ants? -Mufti Abu Layth

the the ants did Solomon Abidine they could Solomon Ali slam listen to ants delay her doing it you doing it Tama ha Osama a low silent a low silent people right so good Solomon Ali Salaam listen to ants he couldn't listen to ants like the way people think okay so this is what people think happened Suleiman Ali Salim the Quran quotes that he he is like he is informed or made a

way of this communication of the ants and the ants simply saying like highlighting danger so the ants warning one another it is true that ants have one of the most complex hierarchical systems in in the animal kingdom and ants have ants have to some extent one could argue predated humans in plant domestication and even animal domestication to some extent because ants have the way they take away plants

and they've even taken away certain they take away well it's it's like these kind of parasites that they take away like these small creatures that they then have known to domesticate and even take care of some so it's really intriguing that they predate human civilization in because the human agricultural civilization is really at most about ten thousand years old post the Ice Age just ending about 12,000 years ago so they predate humans in the implant domestication and in in animal

domestication too many so that's intriguing and they do have communication but not how we think like they don't talk like how we talk like sit down have a dialogue and stone Kamini but they have methods of communication that is true so the ants and animals do warn each other against things that is true so the ants warning other certain ants of danger is brought to the attention of Solomon aleihsalaam which he finds fascinating now and he kind of smiles and starts laughing over this the Quran

highlights that now did this mean that as he was riding his chair you know his whole kind of chariot and the whole armies are coming or however he was on horseback and now does that mean he his hearing zoomed in like zoomed in and now he could hear a dialogue of the of the ants of course not that's not I mean you can't believe that I mean you can believe whatever you want but that's not how he cuz that would that would be crazy that would mean he's hearing everything he's hearing microscopic kind of just waves and he's hearing all these

other little creatures and flies buzzing and and he's hearing everything and he's just going deaf with all of this this is that's not house no human does that I mean Solomon Allison I'm wasn't doing that either but what it is is that he was made aware of this so he is he is told and it's interesting because even when you look at the the verse after this was like and and intuitively as an inspiration he was made aware of this through Ilhan and

hence he says in the verse after it the ulema me that you know about sorry about l homme that make us be grateful by inspiring us further by giving us Ilhan further and and owes any an - Cora namah that this that inspire me more intuitively through divine inspiration to be grateful so that is how he saw this I mean that what seems to be very clear from the

you could take the fact that oh no he it doesn't say any way that he directly heard this because ants don't speak like that anyway they don't speak per se but this was he was inspired about this this warning that an ant was giving like watching out for his own and it made him laugh that look at that level how people watch out when it comes to their Kingdom and how his kingdom was of a magnificent nature so it kind of it was amazing and in many ways it will made him laugh but it was a humbling experience that if

answered that level can look out for one another that you with all this majesty have a greater responsibility to look over your subjects with compassion so I think that so that's the understanding okay just to
