“Men and the Universe”
Imam ibn al-Qayyim says on page #230
” An experienced person told the following remarkable account: I once saw an ant that found a half locust; she tried to move it, but she failed to carry it from the ground. So she moved a little distance and called a group of ants. The narrator adds: I took away that half locust from the ground, so that when the ant and its companions came she went around and they went around, but could not find it, so they went back. Then I replaced the half locust, and when the ant came, she saw it, she tried to carry it but failed. So she walked a little distance, bringing her group. They came and went round the place and when the group did not find anything, they made a circle round the ant, attacked it and cut it limb from limb. I sat there observing all this. “
SubhanAllah.
