75. Allah's Scientific Miracles In The Quran: The Existence Of Animal Societies

Many animals and birds live in societies and form a structured social order, with different roles and tasks assigned to each. For example, honey bees build their nests in colonies with a queen, workers and males, and the queen's main responsibility is laying eggs. Ants live in colonies with a communication network, advanced town planning and military strategies. Smaller birds protect themselves from predators by surrounding and producing sounds to draw other birds. Mammals also protect their young as a group, such as zebras and dolphins. Through long years of research, we can see that these animals' social behaviour is mentioned in the Qur'an, proving it is the word of Allah. Notes: 156. Edward O.
