Quran and Modern Science ::COMMUNICATION BETWEEN BIRDS

16- And Solomon was David’s heir. He said: “O my people!
We have been taught the speech of birds…”
27-The Ant, 16
In the above verse, it is said that the Prophet Solomon was taught the
speech of birds in addition to the endowments that God’s grace had
adorned him with. The Quran refers to the communication between
birds and to the fact that the twittering and singing of birds has particular meanings. Birds, like human beings, do communicate. This
undeniable communication is certainly not as developed as it is in
man.
Research conducted by zoologists has established that sounds
emitted by animals are meaningful and not haphazard. Birds, ants,
dolphins, etc., have systems of communication.

MEANINGS IN SOUNDS EMITTED BY BIRDS
As the Quran speaks of the language of birds, let us take a look at
research conducted on birds. Brazilian and American ornithologists
have studied the hummingbird (one of the tiniest birds in the world)
and published their findings in the British journal Nature. The author
of the article, Maria Luisa Da Silva, says that the vocabulary of the
hummingbird is not innate but develops afterward. In other words,
the hummingbird learns to speak as human beings do.
Studies on crows have demonstrated that they emit a variety of
sounds, namely, to call the colony of crows to come together, to express alarm, and to communicate a state of distress. Ornithologists,
who have recorded these sounds using a sonograph, are still engaged
in deciphering the meanings behind them. Bernd Heinrich, among
these scientists who speak of the difficulty in decoding the sonograms,
associates this research work with the work of the inhabitants of other
planets visiting our earth and trying to decipher eating, playing, making love and activities like catching fish using a sonograph. What we
are trying to do is to imagine ourselves in their place. Bernd Heinrich
speaks of the difficulty encountered in deciphering the language of
animals in general, as different species have different ways of communication, each calling for a different approach.
There is a body language, expressed by the changes in your body
position and movements, that show what you are feeling or thinking.
Nodding means “yes,” hailing is a sign of calling to someone in order
to greet him or try to attract his attention. Although the sounds emitted by birds are a means of communication, they also have, in general, a body language. Their body language is easier to decipher. For
instance, a bird that emits a sound by touching its beak with his
tongue means “I am a friend, I have no intention to harm you.”
Theresa Jordan gives a whole list of signs, demonstrating thereby that
even the body language necessitates a glossary.
The physiology of birds is as interesting as their language, the long
distances they cover without swerving from their destination are
something to marvel at. Ornithologists studying birds will see God’s
perfect artistry revealed in these creatures too.
38- All the creatures on earth, and all the birds that fly with
wings are communities like you. We did not leave anything
out of this Book. Then they will all be gathered before their
Lord.
6-The Cattle, 38

Hadith Nabi Pakﷺ ke Bete Hasan Wa Husain عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام

“Hazrat Jabir Bin Abd-ul-Allah RadiyAllahu Ta’ala Anhuma Se Marwi Hai Ki Najraan Ka Aik Wafd Huzoor Nabi-E-Akram SallAllahu Ta’ala Alayhi Wa Aalihi Wa Sallam Ke Paas Aaya Aur Puchha Ki Aap Kee Hazrat Isaa Bin Maryam عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام Ke Baare Me Kya Raay Hai ?
To Aap SallAllahu Ta’ala Alayhi Wa Aalihi Wa Sallam Ne Farmaya :
Woh Rooh-ul-Allah, Kalimat-ul-Allah, Allah Ke Bande Aur Us Ke Rasool Hain.
Us Wafd Ne Aap SallAllahu Ta’ala Alayhi Wa Aalihi Wa Sallam Ke Kaha :
Kya Aap Hamaare Saath Mubahala Karte Hain Ki Hazrat Isaa عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام Aise Na They ?
To Aap SallAllahu Ta’ala Alayhi Wa Aalihi Wa Sallam Ne Farmaya :
Tum Yahi Chaahte Ho ?
Unhone Kaha :
Haa’n.

Jaise Tumhari Marzi Phir Aap SallAllahu Ta’ala Alayhi Wa Aalihi Wa Sallam Ghar Tashrif Laaye Aur Apne Beton Hasan Wa Husain عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام Ko Saath Le Jaane Ke Liye Jama’ Kiya.
Un Ke Aik Sardaar Ne Un Se Kaha Ki Is Aadami Se Mubahala Mat Karo.
Allah ﷻ Kee Qasam !
Agar Tum Ne Aisa Kiya To Tumhaara Koi Bhi Mazboot Se Mazboot Aadami Bhi Nahin Bachega.
Phir Woh Isaai Huzoor Nabi-E-Akram SallAllahu Ta’ala Alayhi Wa Aalihi Wa Sallam Ke Paas Aaye Aur Kaha Ki Aye Aboo’l Qaasim !
Hamaare Kuchh Bewaqoof Logo’n Ne Aap Se Mubahilah Ka Iraada Kiya Tha Hum Aap Se Guzaarish Karte Hain Ki Aap Hamein Muaaf Kar Dein.
Aap SallAllahu Ta’ala Alayhi Wa Aalihi Wa Sallam Ne Farmaya :
Mein Ne Unhein Muaaf Kiya.
Phir Aap SallAllahu Ta’ala Alayhi Wa Aalihi Wa Sallam Ne Farmaya :
Azaab Ne Najraan Ko Gher Liya Tha.”

Is Hadith Ko Imam Hakim Ne Riwayat Kiya Hai Aur Imam Hakim Ne Farmaya Ki Yeh Hadith Sahih Hai.
