       LIFESTYLE AND COMMUNICATION OF ANT

       [font=andale mono]LIFESTYLE AND COMMUNICATION OF ANTS [/font]
       Consider the following Qur’aanic verse: "And before Solomon were
       marshaled His hosts of Jinns and men And birds, and they were
       all Kept in order and ranks. At length, when they came To a
       (lowly) valley of ants, One of the ants said: ‘O ye ants, get
       into Your habitations, lest Solomon And his hosts crush you
       (Under foot) without knowing it". [AlQur’aan 27:17-18]
       In the past, some people would have probably mocked at the
       Qur’aan, taking
       it to be a fairy tale book in which ants talk to each other and
       communicate
       sophisticated messages. In recent times, research has shown us
       several facts about the lifestyle of ants, which were not known
       earlier to humankind. Research has shown that the animals or
       insects whose lifestyle is closest in resemblance to the
       lifestyle of human beings are the ants. This can be seen
       from the following findings regarding ants:
       (a) The ants bury their dead in a manner similar to the humans.
       (b) They have a sophisticated system of division of labour,
       whereby they have managers, supervisors, foremen, workers, etc.
       (c) Once in a while they meet among themselves to have a ‘chat’.
       (d) They have an advanced method of communication among
       themselves.
       (e) They hold regular markets wherein they exchange goods.
       (f) They store grains for long periods in winter and if the
       grain begins to
       bud, they cut the roots, as if they understand that if they
       leave it to
       grow, it will rot. If the grains stored by them get wet due to
       rains, they take these grains out into the sunlight to dry, and
       once these are dry, they take them back inside as though they
       know that humidity will
       cause development of root systems and thereafter rotting of the
       grain.
