He knew how to speak to animals and he controlled the jinn too. Nobody on the earth could be compared to the Prophet Sulayman. One day, the Prophet Sulayman and his grand army marched through the land. These soldiers passed the dusts of the deserts and stretches of green grass. In time, they neared a valley that needed to be crossed. Suddenly, the Prophet Sulayman heard a tiny voice in the distance. “O ants, o ants,” the creature called. “Run! Quick! Go before Sulayman and his army crush you by mistake!” But the Prophet Sulayman simply smiled. He stopped his army so the ants could scatter to safety. He realized again how lucky he was. Because of this, he could look after even the tiniest of creatures that walked the earth. Then the Prophet Sulayman thanked Allah for the gifts that He had given him. It was because of his Lord that he was so blessed. It was because of his Lord that he could be so wise. My Quranic Prayer Lord, inspire me to be thankful for the blessings You have granted me and my parents, and to do good deeds that please You; and include me, by Your grace, among Your righteous servants! (Al-Naml 27:19) o The false man bows before power. The true man bows to argument.
