#26 Ant: Animals Mentioned in the Quran

Stories From the Quran by Meera'n Malik

In this fascinating podcast, we explore a little-known story from the Quran about the power of even the smallest creatures in the eyes of Allah. The word 'Ant' is mentioned three times in one verse of the Quran, and it refers to a remarkable event in the life of Prophet Sulaiman (AS) when a tiny ant played a crucial role in stopping his army.

We delve into the story of how Prophet Sulaiman (AS) and his army were marching through a valley when they came across a group of ants scurrying around in panic. Sulaiman (AS) paused to listen and was amazed to hear that the ants were warning each other to get out of the way of his army, lest they be trampled underfoot. This small act of consideration for the ants led to Sulaiman (AS) calling off his entire army and taking a different route, all because of the wisdom and foresight of the tiny ants.

This story serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of valuing and respecting all of Allah's creations, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant they may appear. Join us as we explore the incredible impact of the word 'Ant' in the Quran, and learn more about the lessons we can all take away from this remarkable tale.
