Page 15 - The Miracle in the Ant

created along with the ants; and this system has not varied since the first
ant colony on earth, until today.
When mentioning the bees who have a social order similar to that of

the ants, Allah states in the Qur’an that this social order has been "re-
vealed" to them:

And your Lord revealed to the bee: "Build dwellings in the moun-
tains and the trees and also in the structures which men erect.
Then eat from every kind of fruit and travel the paths of your
Lord, which have been made easy for you to follow." From inside
them comes a drink of varying colours, containing healing for
mankind. There is certainly a sign in that for people who reflect.
(Surat an-Nahl: 68-69)
The verse conveys the message that everything the honey bees do is
governed by a "revelation" Allah has given to them. Accordingly, all the
"homes", that is, hives - and therefore the entire social order in these

hives - and all the work they perform to make honey, are made possi-
ble by an inspiration Allah has given them.
When we look at ants, we see that things are no different for them
either. Allah has inspired in them a social order also and they abide by
it absolutely. This is the reason why each group of ant performs the du-
ty assigned to it perfectly with absolute self-surrender and does not
strive for more.
And this is the law of nature. There is no random and coincidental

"fight for survival" in nature as purported by evolution and there has
never been one. On the contrary, all living creatures eat the "food" spec-
ified for them and perform duties Allah assigned to them. Because "there
is no living being He (Allah) does not hold by the forelock and inspect."
(Surah Hud: 56) and "He (Allah) is the one who gives food." (Surat adh-
Dhariyat: 58)
