Besides its linguistic miracles, by which Prophet Muhammad challenged the polytheists to write one verse like it but they failed, the Holy Quran contains a lot of scientific miracles that God revealed to Muhammad more than one thousand years ago.  These miracles are discovered today to strengthen the belief of the believers and prove the Divine origin of The Holy Quran.  Here is Mrs. Wadea Omrany discovers a new scientific miracle in the Holy Quran.
 

Mrs. Wadea says here we are before another a new scientific miracle in the Holy Quran, in Sura Al-Namel (rendered in English "ants"), verse number eighteen.  This new miracle is about what the ant said in verse number eighteen and about what science discovered concerning the way in which ants communicate with each other, especially when informing of an impending danger that threatens the kingdom of ants.

We will try to explain the words that the ant uttered in the Holy Quran and we will try to connect what it said with the newly scientific discoveries, and this evidence that the Holy Quran preceded science and mentioned these fact (about ants communication) more than one thousand years ago. God says in Sura Al-Namel (Chapter 27):

 "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 break you (under foot) without knowing it.  (The Noble Quran, 27:18)"

In the above mentioned verses, the ant reported the imminent danger facing them through four successive stages as follow: 

1. "O ye ants" this is the first alarm given by the ant to draw the attention of the other ants quickly.  On receiving this alarm, the other ants stand alert to receive the other signals that the same speaker ant will give.
    
2. "get into your habitations" here the speaker ant follows her words up with another signal, ordering the ants to do what they ought to do.  We will see this relation in the light of what science has found out (concerning the communication between ants) in the other half of the scientific analysis in this essay. 
    
3. "lest Solomon and his hosts break you" in these word, the speaker ant shows the reason for this danger to her fellow ants and this is what we will prove in the light of what the scientific analysis gives.
    
4. "without knowing it."  The ants, as a reaction to the previous alarms, will make a certain kind of defense, in these last few words, the ant shows her fellows that they don't have to attack the source of danger, because the source of danger is not from a real enemy.  He did not intend to attack the kingdom of ants.  Solomon and his soldiers didn't know of the ants on their way.  So the ants didn't consider them real enemies.
    

     In the last few words, the speaker ant prevents her fellows from attacking Solomon, and this what we will explain scientifically through the scientific analysis of the chemical codes of ant’s communication.  We have shown the sequence of the ants' orders which are divided into four stages – four stages of phrases and signals.

 What does science say in this context?  Read this essay:

 Ants use chemical communication in the situations of alarm and defense and when the fast exchange of information is necessary, and when they face expected danger too.  This alarm is generally marked and expressed by the emission of chemical signals of defense.  The protective glands are responsible for the roles of alarm and defense; the Australian ant is a case in point.  When this kind of ants faces danger, they secrete some droplets from their protective gland in order for their fellow ants to run and make vibration by their antennas showing that they are in state of being alert. 

Study the composition of these phenomenon:

 The first substance detected by the ants is an "aldehyde hexanal".  This draws their attention and arouses their interest, and as a result, they agitate and raise their antennas in air to search for other odors. When they detect "hexanol" (the first message was in the form alcohol).  The ants become in an alert state and run in all the directions in search of the source of problem.  When undécanone is emitted, it attracts the ants toward the source of danger, and makes them bite all foreign objects in the ant hill.  Then finally, when they come closer to the target, they discern the butyloctenal, which increases their aggression and their readiness to sacrifice themselves. 

This essay says that the chemical communication is the most important method of communication in the time of danger and in reporting this danger as well, in this process ants give out different kinds of these substances, each substance has a different code denoting certain kind of speech.  If we pursue the emission of the substances by the ant that reported that danger in the above mentioned essay, we will find that it is the same as the ant did in the Holy verse, number eighteen,

(Sura Al-Naml). The substances that an ant gives out of her body in a situation like this are divided into four kinds of substances, every substance has a certain language and code.

The successive stages of the reaction of the ants:

1. aldéhyde hexanal is the first chemical substance that an ant emits if it feels something dangerous, and this can be regarded as a siren (of danger), on receiving this substance, ants begin to centralize in one point and then remain alert and ready to receive the rest of signals and this identifies with the first phrase uttered by the ant in the holy verse "O ye ants".
    
2. Then the ant emits the second chemical substance "hexanol".  On receiving this substance, ants begin to run in all directions to determine the source of this substance.  The ant that emits the chemical substance should determine the way lest all the rest of ants should go away and this what the ant of prophet Solomon did when it asked the other ants to enter their habitations saying "get into your habitations," and this is an instruction from the speaker ant to her fellows to go in the direction of the habitations.  So it must have determined the way and this is the same as directing the movement of ants in general.
    
3.  is the third substance that the ant emits.  This substance shows the cause of the danger, and that what the ant did when it said in the third phrase "lest Solomon and his hosts break you (under foot)."  Do you see how much the correspondence and the consistency is?  In this stage, in which the ants receive this substance, ants become ready to face the impending danger.  So what about the fourth substance?
    
4. In the fourth stage, the speaker ant emits a special chemical substance, this substance is butylocténal.  By this substance, the speaker ant gives an order of defence and determines the kind of defence.  It said "without knowing it".  By so doing the ant prevented the other ants from entering the stage of attack that would lead to death.  Prophet Solomon smiled tenderly and mercifully as if he had calmed these ants down and as if he would like to have said that they needn't have worried as he saw them and he was kind to them and would not allow any harm.
    

And now let me summarize what I have already said: "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 break you (under foot) without knowing it." (27:18)

And now, how can the infidels and rejecters of the Miracle of Holy Quran respond after reading these facts that science proved its authenticity?  These facts were mentioned in the Holy Quran more than one thousand years ago.
