Surah Al-Naml (سورة النمل) (The Ant, The Ants) is the 27th sura of the
Qur'an with 93
ayat.
Summary
The surah tells the stories of various prophets, such as
Moses,
Solomon and
Salih, which preached
tawhid. The story of Solomon is more detailed. It is said that Solomon has converted
Bilqis to the true religion after a
hoopoe reported to him that she is a Sun-worshipping queen. The miracles of Moses, described in the Bible, are also mentioned. The name of the surah is taken from the ants whose conversations were understood by Solomon.
