The fasting of Spiders

[Amat Allah]

Bismellah...

There are many types of spiders in the world. Spiders have eight
legs, mandibles converted into poison fangs, two feelers, and a large
unsegmented abdomen bearing several spinnerets that produce the silk
used to make nests, cocoons, or webs for trapping insects. Spiders
have six or eight eyes on the back of the cephalothorax, the upper
part of their body.

There is a Surah in the Noble Qur'an called "Al-Ankabout" ,
meaning "The Spider". There Allah says: "The likeness of those who
choose other patrons than Allah is as the likeness of the spider when
she taketh unto herself a house, and lo! The frailest of all houses
is the spider's house, if they but knew." [Al-Ankabout 41]

Spiders played a great role in hiding the Prophet (peace and
blessings be upon him) and his Companion Abu Bakr (may Allah be
pleased with him) when they were in the Cave of Thawr on the way to
Al-Madinah during the course of the Hijrah (the Prophet's emmigration
from Makkah to Madinah). Spiders spun a great web across the entrance
of the cave, and this misled the polytheists who were seeking Prophet
Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companion. They
thought that the spiders had spun their web years before Prophet
Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was born.

Spiders fast during the period of laying eggs and incubating them. At
that time they do not have any sort of food. Female spiders spin
nests and coccoons and lay their eggs. Then they remain there all the
time to protect the eggs till the young emerge. The length of
incubating varies from one species of spider to another. But in all
cases, this term is spent without any food, which makes the spiders
very weak.

From specific glands the spiders release some liquids that are
necessary for feeding the young, who are not able to seek their food
by themselves until they grow up. So they take these juices until
they are able to hunt their food from the surrounding environment.

At that time mother spiders break their fast and return back to their
normal life. This is another demonstration of Allah's Power manifest
in His creatures. Chance has nothing to do with such demonstrations
of Allah's Might. Rather it is the ultimate truth of creation.
