Page 29 - The Miracle in the Ant

mediately transformed into "feeder" ants and they start feeding others
with the food particles in their reserve stomachs, and when there is sur-
plus food in the colony, they shed this identity and again become work-
er ants.
The sacrifice displayed here truly is at an advanced level. While hu-
man beings have not succeeded in fighting hunger in the world, the ants
have found a practical solution to this problem: to share everything, in-
cluding their food. Yes, this is a real example of sacrifice. Giving with-
out hesitation everything it owns including its food to the next ant, so
that it may survive, is just one of the examples of sacrifice in nature
which the theory of evolution cannot manage to explain.
There is no overpopulation problem for ants. While today, the me-
tropolises of man are becoming hard to live in due to migration, lack of
infrastructure, misallocation of resources and unemployment, ants can
manage their underground cities, with a population of 50 million in a
fantastically orderly fashion, without the feeling that anything is lacking.
Each ant immediately adapts to changes occurring in its environment.
For such a thing to occur, the ants must have certainly been pro-
grammed physically and psychologically.
For the emergence of such extremely well organized systems, there
has to be a "master will" to give them the inspiration to do their work
and to give them orders. Otherwise, great chaos would ensue rather
than order. And this master will pertains to Allah, Who owns everything,
Who is Almighty, Who directs all living beings and orders them by in-
spiration.
The fact that ants perpetually strive without any consideration of ben-
efit, is proof that they are acting on the inspiration of a certain "super-
visor". The verse below fully confirms that Allah is the master and su-
pervisor of everything and that every living creature acts on His inspira-
tion:
I have put my trust in Allah, my Lord and your Lord. There is no
living being He does not hold by the forelock and inspect! My
Lord is on a straight path. (Surah Hud: 56)
