orphan story of Solomon and the ant

the story of King Solomon and the ant

Solomon son of David was the only prophet who obtained the privilege from God so they can understand the language of animals. He can talk to birds Hud Hud and may also understand the language of ants. Al-Quran in surah An Naml, verses 18-26 are examples of verses that tell sebahagian Prophet will feature the very wealthy. The Word of God, and Solomon had inherited David and he said, O man, we have been taught the speech of birds and have been given everything. Indeed (all) this is really a real gift.

And gathered for Sulaiman his army of jinn, humans and birds, and they were arranged in an orderly manner (in line) so that when they reached the valley of the ants said, an ant, O ye ants, go into your dwellings that ye be not trampled by Solomon and his army, while they perceive not.

So the Prophet Solomon smiled, laughing at the words of the ant kerana. He said, O my Lord, bestows upon me the gift to be grateful for Thy favor which Thou hast bestowed upon me and to my parents; blessed me to be doing that you ridhai pious charity, and put me with Thy grace to the class of pious servant of servants . (An-Naml: 16-19)

According to some history, once a day Prophet Sulayman asked the ant, O ants! How many of you perolehi sustenance of God in one year? Seeds of wheat, he said.

Later, Solomon gives the ants a kernel of wheat and then maintain it in a bottle. After even one year, Sulaiman opened the bottle to see the fate of the ants. However, he found the ants only eat wheat sebahagian it. Why do you only eat sebahagian and not spend it? Solomon asked. First I put my trust and surrender ourselves to God, said the ant. With Him tawakal bahawa I'm sure he would not forget me. When I surrender to you, I'm not sure if you'll remember me next year so it can obtain a kernel of wheat again or you will forget me. Kerana it, I had to leave sebahagian as stock next year.

Solomon, though he was very wealthy, but wealth is relative and limited. Rich Almighty Allah is absolutely alone. Solomon, though very good, and love, but the Supreme Good and Supreme Love of all merciful Allah is mere. Stored in a self-limited nature of Solomon and the relativity which can not be separated, while the absolute substance and absolute nature of God.

Solomon however rich, he's still a human being can not be fully used as a dependent. How does his love of Solomon, he was a man with a store-kedaifannya kedaifan own. It was known by the ant of Solomon. Kerana, he still did not believe in the promise of Prophet Sulaiman to it. Not kerana Solomon would not worry broken promises, but not worry Solomon unable to fulfill due to his human nature. Tawakal or surrender themselves round only to God alone, not to man.
