IF I HAVE TO LEARN TO ANIMALS

Wonderful animals.

If I have to learn to animals

I would learn over to the crow

who had given a lesson to Qabil

how to hide the disgrace of his brother [Habil].

If I have to learn to animals

I would learn over to the bee

who always give benefits to the humans

without breaking this nature.

If I have to learn to animals

I would learn over to the goose

who remained faithful to his spouse.

If I have to learn to animals

I would learn over to the ants

who have excellent ethos in working

they have good ability in managing their colony

for one purpose.

The other way,

I would not like to be like the donkeys

who have the worst voice.

I would not like to be like the spiders

who have the weakest homes.

And I would not to be like the mosquitoes

who work hard to find their food

but, when they are saturated

they die easily.

Indeed in that a sign for a people who give thought.

Al-Maidah 31:

Then Allah sent a crow searching in the ground to show him to hide the disgrace of his brother. He said, “O woe to me! Have I failed to be like this crow and hide the body of my brother?” And he became of the regretful.

An-Nahl 68-69:

And your Lord inspired to the bee, “Take for yourself among the mountains houses, and among the trees and [in] that which they construct. Then eat from all the fruits and follow the ways of your Lord laid down [for you].” There emerges from their bellies a drink, varying in colors, in which there is healing for people. Indeed in that a sign for a people who give thought.

Al-Ankabut 41:

The example of those who take allies other than Allah is like that of the spider who takes a home. And indeed, the weakest of homes is the home of the spider, if they only knew.

Luqman 19:

And be moderate in your pace and lower your voice, indeed the most disagreeable of sounds is the voice of donkeys.

Al-Baqara 26:

Indeed, Allah is not timid to present an example- that of a mosquito or what is smaller than it. And those who have believed know that it is the truth from their Lord. But, as for those who disbelieve, they say, “what did Allah intend by this as an example?” He misleads many thereby and guides many thereby. And he misleads not except the defiantly disobedient.
