@Hadithoftheday The Ant.
Allah says in Qur'an:
Until, when they came upon the valley of the ants, an ant said, โO ants, enter your dwellings that you not be crushed by Sulaiman and his soldiers while they perceive not.โ (Al Qurโan 27:18)
Allah says in Qur'an:
Until, when they came upon the valley of the ants, an ant said, โO ants, enter your dwellings that you not be crushed by Sulaiman and his soldiers while they perceive not.โ (Al Qurโan 27:18)
@Hadithoftheday One day, Sulaiman A.S gathered his troops of jinn, humans and birds. They marched in strict discipline towards the direction of the valley of ants. If they were to trample on the antโs nest, it spelt doom for the entire ant community residing there.+
@Hadithoftheday The ant heard the approach of the army. She was aware that ants, being one of the smallest insects and often most overlooked by people, were barely noticeable.
She knew that Sulaiman A.S and his troops were likely to crush them. +

@Hadithoftheday Thus,the Ant urgently warned her community of the great danger and ordered them to take refuge in their dwellings.

@Hadithoftheday Allah made the tiny antโs plea audible to Sulaiman A.S. Sulaiman A.S comprehended her language, could not hold back his smile of amusement and began to laugh.
@Hadithoftheday Allah says in Qur'an:
He said, โMy Lord, enable me to be grateful for Your favour which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents and to do righteousness of which You approve. And admit me by Your mercy into [the ranks of] Your righteous servants.โ (Al Qurโan 27:19)
He said, โMy Lord, enable me to be grateful for Your favour which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents and to do righteousness of which You approve. And admit me by Your mercy into [the ranks of] Your righteous servants.โ (Al Qurโan 27:19)
@Hadithoftheday Even though Sulaiman (AS) possessed all the worldly materialism, when he heard the ant talking about him, he was immediately reminded of Allah and his countless blessings. He acknowledged that it was a gift from Allah and showed gratitude immediately.
@Hadithoftheday Sulaiman A.S commanded the army to change its course, and the destruction of the ant colony was avoided. All this because of the plea of a single ant!
@Hadithoftheday Despite his status and rank, Sulaiman A.S was humble, just and compassionate, not just to the human race but to the most insignificant insect as Sulaiman A.S diverted his entire army in order to avoid trampling an anthill.
@Hadithoftheday Sulaiman A.S ruled over a magnificent kingdom, centred in Jerusalem. Not only was he the ruler of the people, but also of the birds and animals, jinn, clouds and even the wind. There has not been such a glorious and magnificent kingdom seen on earth before or since.
