Significance of title[edit]
The sura's name is taken from the ants
whose conversations were understood by Solomon.[8] Similar to Sura 13 (The Thunder) or Sura 29 (The Spider), The Ants has no
thematic significance in the Sura beyond it being a familiar phrase amongst
believers, a reminder of the sura's story of Solomon.
Ants do hold a privileged status
among animals in Islam on account of the
story of Solomon. Hadith literature tells of Muhammad forbidding Muslims to
kill the ant, bee, hoopoe, or shrike; it is no coincidence that they are all featured in Sura
27 and that Sura 16 is entitled The Bee.[9] One interpretation for the ant's
theological significance coincides with its role historically. As written in
the 1993 edition of the Encyclopaedia of Islam, "Since early
antiquity, ants have been an object of admiration on account of ... the
feverish activity with which they provide for their 27th chapter (surah) of the Qur'an with 93 verses (ayat) sustenance and the
perfect organisation of their societies." This perfect organization under
one cause correlates well with the Islamic idea of obedience, or ibadah.[10]
Straight-forward
interpretation[edit]
According to a chronological reading of the
text, the Sura ends on a bold note of warning. This is a perfectly valid
reading of the text. Tafsīr al-Jalālayn concurs with this reading, suggesting
in reference to ayat 91-93 that the prophet's duty is only to warn;[16] the powerful, imminent tone expressed
supports the conclusion that the final point of the Sura is the focal point.
Ring
structure[edit]
Another valid reading of the text utilizes
ring structure (see Chiastic structure). Favored in prominent
modern scholar of Qur'anic studies Carl Ernst's interpretations of certain
middle to late Meccan period suras, it can be applied to Sura 27 as well.[29] In ring structure, the focal point of
the piece is found in the center, surrounded front and back by parallel
statements. (Such parallel statements could elaborate on one another, contrast
each other, or affirm one another. Multiple interpretations exist.) One could
interpret Sura 27 as follows:
·
1.
Declaration of Qur'an[20] through a reiterative warning of its
purpose.[28]
·
2.
Moses's signs are ignored by Pharaoh.[21]
·
3.
An indication of signs with a foretelling of judgement.[27]
·
4. Solomon, realizing God’s blessings, dedicates himself
as a Believer.[22]
·
5.
The Queen of Sheba is generous with
Solomon, and deals well with him.[23] She converts from disbelief, then
devotes herself to tawhid.[24]
·
6.
After rejecting their prophets, God destroys the Sodomites, and the people of
Thamud, leading to a general declaration of abandonment for disbelievers.[25][26]
·
7.
The conclusive interpretation from ring structure: A rebuke of disbelief
through a declaration of God's omnipotence, omnipresence, and omniscience.[12]

Summary[edit]
(27:7)
(Recount to them) when Moses said to his family:8 "I perceive something like fire: soon
will I bring to you some information from there, or I will bring you a burning
brand that you may warm yourselves."9
8. This happened at the
foot of Mount Tur when the Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) was traveling
along with his family in search of a suitable place for settlement, after
passing eight to ten years in Madyan (Midian). From Madyan, whose territory lay
on both sides of the Gulf of Aqabah, on the sea-shores of Arabia and the Sinai
Peninsula, he reached the place called Mt. Sinai and Jabal Musa in the southern
part of the Peninsula, which at the time of the revelation of the Quran was
well known as Tur. See (Ash-Shuara, E.N.
115). The details of this story have been given
in (Surah Ta Ha:
Ayats 9-24), and in (Surah Al- Qasas:
Ayats 29-36).
9. The
context shows that it was a cold wintry night and the Prophet Moses (peace be
upon him) was passing through unfamiliar land. Therefore, he said to his
family, “Let me go and find out what habitation it is where a fire is alight,
and get some information about the traveling routes and the nearby habitations.
I shall at least bring a few embers for you to light a fire and warm
yourselves.”
The
place where the Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) had seen a burning bush is
situated at about 5,000 ft. above sea level at the foot of Mt. Tur.
Constantine, the first Christian Emperor of the Roman Empire, had a church
built in about 365 A.D. right at the spot where this event had occurred. Two
hundred years later Emperor Justinian had a monastery built which included the
church built by Constantine as well. Both the monastery and the church stand
even today and are under the control of the monks of the Greek Orthodox Church.
(27:8) But when Moses came to the fire, a
call was sounded:10 "Blessed is He Who is in the fire and whatever is around
it. Glory be to Allah, the Sustainer of all in
the Universe.11

How many times is Musa mentioned
in the Quran?
Prophet
Musa Ibn Imran known as Prophet Moses AS in the Bible, considered a prophet and
messenger in Islam, is the most frequently mentioned individual in The Holy
Quran, his name being mentioned 136 times.
10. According to (Al-Qasas: Ayat
30), the voice was calling out from a tree.
What one understands from this is this: A sort of a fire was alight on the
ground on the edge of the valley, but neither was anything burning nor any
smoke arising. In the midst of the fire there stood a lush green tree from
which a voice started calling out this all of a sudden.
This
is a strange thing which the prophets of Allah have been experiencing. When the
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was first blessed with prophethood, an
angel appeared before him in the solitude of the cave of Hira and started
delivering Allah’s message. A similar thing happened with the Prophet Moses
(peace be upon him) also. A journeying person has halted at a place, sees a
fire at a distance, approaches it in order to get some information abort the
route, or to pick a burning ember, and suddenly Allah, Lord of the Worlds, the
Infinite, the Inconceivable Being, starts speaking to him. On such occasions,
there exists externally as well as within the Prophets’ own selves an
extraordinary state which fills them with the assurance that it is not a jinn
or a satan or an illusion of their own mind, nor are their senses being
deceived, but it is the Lord of the universe, or His Angel, who is speaking to
them. (See (E.N. 10 of Surah
An-Najm).
11.
Here the use of the words Subhan-Allah (glorified is Allah) is meant to warn
the Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) to this effect: “You should never think
that Allah, Lord of the universe, is sitting in the tree, or has entered into
it, or that His absolute Light has concentrated itself into the limited sphere
of your sight, or some tongue is functioning in some mouth to produce speech,
but it is Allah, Who is Pure and Free from all such limitations, Who is Himself
speaking to you.”
26102021
(27:16) And Solomon
succeeded David20 and said: "O people,
we have been taught the speech of birds21 and we have been endowed with all kinds of things.22 Surely this is a
conspicuous favour (from Allah)."
20. Succession here does not mean inheritance of wealth and
properties, but the succession to the Prophet David (peace be upon him) in the
prophethood and vicegerency.
For the wealth and possessions, if at all transferred, could not be transferred
to the Prophet Solomon (peace be upon him) only, because Prophet David (peace
be upon him) had other children also. Therefore, this verse cannot be cited to
refute the Hadith reported from the Prophet (peace be upon him), saying, “The
inheritance left by us, the Prophets, is not divided as such. Whatever we leave
behind is charity.” (Bukhari). And, “There is no heir to a Prophet. Whatever he
leaves behind is divided among the needy and the indigent of the Muslims.”
(Musnad Ahmad).
The
Prophet Solomon (peace be upon him) was the youngest son of the Prophet David
(peace be upon him). His Hebrew name Solomon is a synonym of Salim
(rightminded, affable). He succeeded the Prophet David (peace be upon him) in
965 B.C. and ruled his kingdom for forty years, till 926 B.C. (For other
details of his life and works, see( E.N. 74-75
of Surah Al-Anbiyaa). Our commentators have greatly exaggerated
the vastness of his kingdom, and have held that he ruled over a large part of
the world. The fact, however, is that his kingdom comprised only the present
Palestine and Transjordan and a part of Syria.
21.
There is no mention in the Bible that the Prophet Solomon (peace be upon him)
had been taught speech of the birds and animals, though the Israelite
traditions contain a reference to it.
22.
That is, “Allah has bestowed on us all sorts of things.” This, however, should
not be understood literally; it only means the abundance of the wealth and the
means of life granted by Allah. This was not said proudly by Prophet Solomon
(peace be upon him) but only to express his gratitude to Allah for His grace
and bounty and favors.
27102021
(27:26) Allah - none is worthy of worship
save He; He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne.35
35. This is one of the
verses of the Quran, where its recital makes it obligatory to perform a Sajdah (prostration), and there is a consensus on
this of the Muslim jurists. The object of performing a Sajdah here is that a
believer should set himself apart from the sun-worshipers and should declare by
his action that he does not regard the sun but Allah Almighty alone as his
Deity and Lord.
(27:34) The Queen said: "When the kings
enter a country they cause corruption in it and abase those of its people who are
held in honour.39 This
is what they are wont to do.40
39. In this one sentence a
thorough criticism has been made of imperialism. The kings’ invasion of the other countries and the
victorious nations’ violence against the oppressed nations has never been for
the sake of reform and goodwill. The object has been to control and exploit the
means and resources of sustenance granted to the other nation by God, and make
it so helpless that it should never be able to rise in resistance and demand
its share. For this purpose they block up all its means of prosperity, power
and honor, crush down all self respecting elements, instill in its members
attitudes of slavery, flattery, treachery and spying against one another,
imitation of the conqueror and respect for his civilization, contempt of their
own civilization and other such mean qualities of character. Thus, gradually
they bring them down to such a low level of character
where they may not hesitate even to sell off any of their most sacred objects
of heritage and be ready to perform any wretched service on payment.
26112021
(27:40) And he who had
some knowledge of the Book said: "I will bring it before the twinkling of
your eye."47 When
Solomon saw the throne placed firmly beside him, he cried out: "This is by
the grace of my Lord so that He may test me whether I give thanks for (His
Bounty) or act with ingratitude.48 Whoever
is grateful is so to his own good; and whoever is ungrateful, let him know that
my Lord is Immensely Resourceful, Most Bountiful
(27:44) She was told:
"Enter the palace." But when she saw it, she thought it was a pool of water and she bared both her
calves (to enter into
it). Solomon said: "This is a slippery floor of crystal."55 Thereupon she cried
out: "My Lord, I have been inflicting much wrong on myself. Now I submit
myself with Solomon to Allah, the Lord of the whole Universe.
.27112021
(27:59) Say, (O Muhammad):71 "All praise be
to Allah, and peace be on those of His servants whom He has chosen." (Ask
them): "Who is better: Allah or the false gods that they associate with
Him as His partners?72
71. From here starts the
second discourse, and this is its introductory sentence. This introduction teaches how the Muslims should begin a speech. That is why the truly Islamic-minded people
have always been starting their speeches and discourses with the praise of
Allah and salutation on His righteous servants. But now this is looked upon as
characteristic of bigotry, and the present-day Muslim speakers have no idea of
starting their speech with these words, or feel shy of doing so.
30112021
(27:92) and to recite the
Qur'an." So, whosoever is guided, his guidance will be to his own good. As for those
who stray, tell them: "I am none but a warner."
