#Quran_Miracles #Part 5


Animals have their own languages:

For centuries philosophers thought that only humans were rational while animals only followed instinct. Actually this false belief was so entrenched in Arabs that they included it in their grammar, referring to humans as rational (عاقل) and all other animals, plants and inanimate objects as irrational (غير عاقل).

However today scientists have confirmed that animals do not act by instinct alone, but rather animals have their own logic and communication systems, that is, they make rational decisions like humans but at a much lower scale...


However the Quran did not make the mistakes of the Arabs, instead it says that ants have their own logic and do communicate with their own species:

(Quran 27:18 )
{Until, when they came upon the valley of the ants, an ant said, "O ants, enter your dwellings that you not be crushed by Solomon and his soldiers while they perceive not."}

Here it is clear that the ants do have their own logic and do communicate.


The Quran also says that all animals glorify Allah but we cannot comprehend their way of glorification:

(Quran 17:44)
{The seven heavens and the earth and whatever is in them exalt Him. And there is not a thing except that it exalts [ Allah ] by His praise, but you do not understand their [way of] exalting. Indeed, He is ever Forbearing and Forgiving.}


Animals live together in colonies:

Not only the Quran says that animals communicate with each other but also that they are communities, like humans :

(Quran 6:38 )
{And there is no creature on [or within] the earth or bird that flies with its wings except [that they are] communities like you. We have not neglected in the Register a thing. Then unto their Lord they will be gathered.}


Today we are certain that animals live in communities and have their own languages but 1400 years ago this was crazy.
