Chapter 1 of 3The valley
Danger was getting close
Sulayman and his forces reached a valley where ants lived. They might step on the ants without even noticing them.
Look deeperFor an older or curious reader
The verse does not accuse the approaching forces of cruelty. It says the harm could happen without their awareness—a sharp lesson about the effects power can have without intending them.
Open the Quran source27:18
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَتَوْا۟ عَلَىٰ وَادِ ٱلنَّمْلِ قَالَتْ نَمْلَةٌ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّمْلُ ٱدْخُلُوا۟ مَسَٰكِنَكُمْ لَا يَحْطِمَنَّكُمْ سُلَيْمَٰنُ وَجُنُودُهُۥ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ
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."
An-Naml · 27:18 · read in contextPicture note: The flowers, feathers, and distant dust are visual atmosphere; the verse names the valley, the ants, Sulayman, and his forces.
