    The spider's house & The Muslim's house

    "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." (Quran 18:41)

    This verse demonstrates in a significant way a bunch of scientific, social and religious facts which are very connected and representing a comprehensive picture of a type of life filled with hatred and instability.

    A number of questions arise when one reads this verse,
    • Why the frailest of all houses is is the spider's house?:
    • Would you attain protection or care if you choose other patrons than Allah?
    • What is difference between the spider's house & the Muslim's house?


    "…..and lo! the frailest of all houses is the spider's house, if they but knew.":


    1. From the physical point of view
    A spider's web is the weakest of all houses. It is composed of a group of intricate fine silk threads, mostly with large gaps in-between. However, the spider's silk is one of the strongest substances available on earth, as it can withstand a tension force up to 42000 kg/cm2 which gives it strong stretching abilities. This feature enables it to trap prey insects without being ruptured. Hence, this explains why Allah (SWT) said in his noble book "… the frailest (weakest) of houses" instead of "the flimsiest threads". The spider's home remains to be the weakest and frailest of all homes despite its strong threads

    2. From the spiritual point of view
    A spider's house is the most fragile of all houses. It is deprived of notions of love and mercy; the basis for any happy family.

    Male & female: In some species, the female spider kills the male immediately after the fertilization process. The female devours the male’s body, since the former is larger and fiercer than the latter.
    bananaspider - The spider's house & The Muslim's house

    Female spider is bigger than the male and it may eat him after mating

    Children: In some cases, the female mercilessly eats its offspring. In other cases, the female dies after the complete fertilization of the eggs that it usually carries in a silk sac. When the eggs hatch, the spiderlings come out to find themselves in an extremely crowded place. The siblings then start fighting over food and/or space, until the battle ends with the survival of only a few spiderlings. Those then shed their skin, break the wall of the egg sac and leave one after another, carrying along unpleasant memories. When the mother dies, the spiderlings feed on her body. Afterwards, the spiderlings spread out in the surrounding environment. Every surviving female starts building its web. Those who survive go through the same tragic experience all over again, which makes the spider's house the most brutal. Allah (SWT) has set the spider’s house as an example of fragility and frailty because of the lack of strong family ties and lack of notions of mercy among members of the family.


    "…if they knew":



    Such facts were unknown to any human being during the time of the revelation, nor were they known for long centuries to follow. They were discovered after intensive studies in the field of spider behavior had been carried out by hundreds of scientists over many decades. The whole thing crystallized only in the last few decades of the twentieth century. Therefore, Allah (SWT) has concluded the subject ayah by, "…if they knew"...

    I loved the article, up to the point where I got to the picture, which is when I stopped reading. I really can't tolerate pets or insects.

    Wa iyakkum to you all.

    It also amazes me to see allahs creation but im not a fan of insects. Infact they kind of creep me out. The picture also kind of made me stop reading. Perhaps you should put the picture at the end lol.
    Well the only reason I put the picture up is that I thought that it really corresponded with the article so I had to have it. But, yes I do agree, the picture is a bit of a shocker. InshaAllah, I'll try to make it smaller.


    Edit: done.
