Prophet Suleman asked an Ant What is your yearly food

Prophet Suleman (AS) and the Ant: A Story of Faith in Allah

Prophet Suleman (peace be upon him), also known as King Solomon, was a prophet blessed with wisdom, knowledge, and a unique ability to communicate with animals. His story is filled with powerful lessons of faith, trust in Allah, and humility.

One day, an interesting event took place that teaches us a profound message about reliance on Allah.


The Question to the Ant

During the reign of Prophet Suleman (AS), he asked an ant a curious question:
"What is your yearly food?"

The ant replied:
"I only need two grains of food for the entire year."

To test the ant’s response, Prophet Suleman (AS) placed it inside a jar with two grains of food and sealed the jar.


The Outcome After One Year

A year later, Prophet Suleman (AS) opened the jar to check on the ant. Surprisingly, the ant had eaten only one grain, leaving the other untouched.

Prophet Suleman (AS) asked the ant,
"Why did you eat only one grain when you said you need two for a year?"

The ant replied:
"When I was free, I relied on Allah for my sustenance, and He never failed me. But now, since I am under human care, I feared you might forget about me, so I saved one grain for the future."


The Lesson

This simple yet profound story teaches us a timeless lesson:
We should place our trust in Allah, who is the ultimate provider. Instead of depending on people, we must rely on Him for our needs, for He never forgets His creation.


Conclusion

Trusting Allah brings peace and certainty in life. No matter the circumstances, placing your hopes in Him ensures the best outcomes. Always remember:
“And whoever relies upon Allah – then He is sufficient for him.” (Qur'an, Surah At-Talaq: 65:3)

So, whenever you feel uncertain or worried, turn to Allah with full faith, and Insha'Allah, He will guide you toward the best path.
