"Till, when they came to the valley of the ants, one of the ants said: 'O ants! enter Your dwellings, lest Sulaiman (prophet Solomon) and his hosts crush you, while they perceive not.' So He [Sulaiman (Solomon)] smiled, amused at her speech." (The Noble Quran; An-Naml: 18-19).
(Allah gifted prophet Sulaiman with the ability to hear and understand these sounds)
The Holy Quran is always in complete agreement with the scientific finidings. This proves that it reaaly revealed from Allah (God).
A report in the science magazine says" Advances in audio technology have enabled scientists to discover that ants routinely talk to each other in their nests.
Advances in audio technology have enabled scientists to discover that ants routinely talk to each other in their nests.
Most ants have a natural washboard and plectrum built into their abdomens that they can rub together to communicate using sound.
Using miniaturised microphones and speakers that can be inserted unobtrusively into nests, researchers established that the queens can issue instructions to their workers.
Professor Jeremy Thomas, of the University of Oxford, said improvements in technology had made the discoveries possible because it meant the ants could be recorded and subjected to playbacks without becoming alarmed.
By placing miniature speakers into the nest and playing back sounds made by a queen, the researchers were able to persuade ants to stand to attention.
“When we played the queen sounds they did 'en garde' behaviour. They would stand motionless with their antennae held out and their jaws apart for hours - the moment anyone goes near they will attack,” he said.
He described how the ants would press their antennae to the speaker just as they would seek to greet another ant in the nest.
Professor Thomas said it remained unclear how much the ants relied on sound for language but he suspected that further analysis would reveal a wider vocabulary than had been seen yet.
“An hour’s reflective thought is better than a year’s worship” Hadith
"We Muslims, who are students of the Qur’an, follow proof; we approach the truths of belief through reason, thought, and our hearts. " Bediuzzaman Said Nursi
if i remember right human frequency range foe listening is 20 Hz to 20 KHz. sound out of this range is not listen by human ear, however if ALLAH SWT make it easy for someone.
How is that a proof that Quran mentions ants talk to each other? There are thousands of species that communicate with each other. Did you think humans were the only ones capable of communication?
Now... If we can see Solomon (or anyone for that matter) talk to ants, this would certainly be a proof that, on this account, Quran was right.

Not only that, Allah said:
6:38 وما من دابة في الأرض ولا طئر يطير بجناحيه إلا أمم أمثالكم ما فرطنا في الكتب من شيء ثم إلى ربهم يحشرون
6:38 And there is not a creature on the earth, nor a bird that flies with its wings, but they belong to nations like you. We did not leave anything out of the record; then to their Lord they will be gathered.
May Allah guide us all to the straight path
Mohammed
Well Quran told us many things which now a days non Muslims explore and then match it with Quran versus. Hazrat Salman has really power to talk with other creatures ants and birds and more to other . Well now a days too ALLAH has given power to some one who can listen easily to animals and insects.
It's funny how religious people suddenly use a scientific discovery in favour of the religion when they deny the same respect/acceptance when the same scientists talk about evolution .
A world of "Pick and choose" it seems...

It is immensely funny how irreligious donkeys like you choose to spend their time on boards dedicated to religious people.
Help me to escape from this existence
I yearn for an answer... can you help me?
I'm drowning in a sea of abused visions and shattered dreams
In somnolent illusion... I'm paralyzed

The above post shows the (in)tolerance of some religious people. The easiest thing to do on the Internet is to resort to name calling (it may be a tradition in Pluto, though). Fortunately not everybody on these forums are like that.
By the way, this is a public forum and I'm always open-minded about learning what people think, hence my presence here. You should spend some time in other forums too. It is good to "discuss" ideas, rather than insult others.

Dirty,
I didn't know that the same scientists that spoke of evolution, also spoke of the communicative language of pismires?.. we're certainly thankful for your presence on board to point that out.. imagine what we would do if that pearl wasn't tinkled here by you..Perhaps you'd like to elaborate on the lives and works of those same scientists as pertains to evolution and speech? You can of course imagine our interest in the topic considering not 200 years ago scientists of the west like Dr. ignaz semmelweis who was labeled a quack for suggesting that washing your hands before delivering infants reduced infection and mortality and sadly ended up in an institution for that 'intuitive common knowledge' . But hey you must be way ahead of your time to be so perceptive to common sense or perhaps have positively no knowledge of history or science all together?.. and we're collectively leaning toward the later statement.. As such it isn't difficult to conceive the lack of tolerance many might have for sophomores and sophomoric comments?
all the best

Text without context is pretext If your opponent is of choleric temperament, seek to irritate him
Why hasn't anyone addressed Leo's point? I mean, they easily come and insult him but offer no counter to his point which is a very significant one. Thousands of different species can communicate with each other. How does this prove anything at all?

Sometimes particular poster does not deserve serious response because of their attitude shown in past posts in other threads. You only have to search his other posts and see how many members have responded seriously and in thoughtful manner only for him to dismiss all those responses as irrelevant. He only listens to his own renditions of foolishness.

We know about this info NOW, but did those who live in the desert of Arabia 1,400 years ago know this?
Some people are so stubborn in their ignorance that even if proof and evidence hit them in the head and slapped them around they would still refuse to recognize it.

I see. I was not aware of his attitude or the way he posted in the past.
It is not hard to speculate that animals or insects communicate with each other even 2000 years ago. I mean, this verse was obviously directed towards the prophet Suleyman, if it was meant to be scientific, it could have certainly been alot more clearer. I guess our standards for accepting proof and evidence is different. Ants certainly do not know the names of people and humans cannot talk to Ants, but those scientific inaccuracies are of course left out.
