And to Dawood (David) we gave Sulaiman (Solomon), most excellent the servant, surly he was frequent in returning (to Allah)...

 

In my opinion, one of the lovely keywords in the chapter SAD (the letter SAD) of the Holy Quran is the word "Awab".
When God in this chapter- with that special tone- three or four times- refers to his good servants- David and Solomon- with this adjective; "Awab".
Meaning someone who frequently returns to God. Always facing towards him.
Its really sweet when God describes a servant like this: "Most excellent the servant, surly he was frequent in returning (to Allah)"

...And to Dawood (David) we gave Sulaiman (Solomon), most excellent the servant, surly he was frequent in returning (to Allah)

The first one who recognised that the ruler of ants is a Queen not a King

Hi everybody,

Today I wanna share a meritorious fact about ants with you. Do you know who was the first one who recognised an army of ants are ruled by a Queen not a King?

About 1400 years ago, amongst some ignorant people in a desert way far from civilisation,  one great man emerged with a book for growing up all human beings. The name of book is Quran. and in this book there is a chapter with the name of "The Ant", in this chapter there is a sentence saying that:

Quran (27:18)

حَتَّى إِذَا أَتَوْا عَلَى وَادِی النَّمْلِ قَالَتْ نَمْلَةٌ یَا أَیُّهَا النَّمْلُ ادْخُلُوا مَسَاكِنَكُمْ لَا یَحْطِمَنَّكُمْ سُلَیْمَانُ وَجُنُودُهُ وَهُمْ لَا یَشْعُرُونَ

"till, when they reached the valley of the ants, an ant said: O ants! enter your dwellings lest Solomon and his armies crush you, unperceiving."

It seems normal at first glance, but in the original Arabic text (not in the English translated text) the conjugation of the verb *"said"* for this sentence is a female conjugation. In Arabic "قال" [=qāla] is masculine and "قالت" [=Qaalat] is female version and technically means "She said".

As we can see the female conjunction of  verb is used for the ant which ordered the other ants to go to their dwellings; therefore, the ruler who gives the orders must be a female (a Queen). On the other hand, obviously in 1400 years ago, even in civilised regions nobody could realise the gender of an ant. So, this knowledge must be from a magnificent resource.

There are a lot of details like this, we will publish them in future inshallah.

Please note that, this point is translated from a talk given by Mr Raefi Pur.

Special thanks to him.
