Ants' valley and dwellings

    The Noble Qur’an provided many examples from the animal world, dividing them into insects, birds and beasts, and dividing animals into animals, domesticated animals and monsters. Thus, the Qur’an’s interest in animals preceded modern science.

     It is interesting to note that two chapters (surahs) of the Holy Qur’an are named after two insects, namely “The ants” and “The bees”, as well as a chapter under the name “The Spider”. In each of the previous chapters, some behaviors and dwellings of each of these insects and arthropods (spiders) were indicated.    The aim of this study is to show the scientific miracle in mentioning the word "valley" of ants in the Holy Quran, specifically in verse (17) of "the ants" chapter, and also mentioning the "habitations" of ants in the same verse.
