When Ants Die

Entomologists declare that as soon as an ant gets sick and dies, it secretes a distinctive smell that’s referred to as the death smell and so another ant carries it and puts it away to avoid the spread of diseases. Researchers confirm that in so doing, ant communities resemble those of humans. Miraculously, the Holy Qur’an has revealed this fact at a time when people believed that such creatures have no intelligence what so ever. However, Allah, the creator of this entire world and who knows what is secret and what’s yet more hidden says:

There is not an animal
(That lives) on the earth,
Nor a being that flies
On its wings, but (forms
Part of) communities like you.
Nothing have we omitted
From the Book, and they (all)
Shall be gathered to their Lord
In the end.
(Quran : An’am or Cattle: 38)
