The soldier's hoopoe in the Holy Qur'an
Allah said
( وَتَفَقَّدَ الطَّيْرَ فَقَالَ مَا لِيَ لَا أَرَى الْهُدْهُدَ أَمْ كَانَ مِنَ الْغَائِبِينَ (20)لَأُعَذِّبَنَّهُ عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا أَوْ لَأَذْبَحَنَّهُ أَوْ لَيَأْتِيَنِّي بِسُلْطَانٍ مُّبِينٍ (21) فَمَكَثَ غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ فَقَالَ أَحَطتُ بِمَا لَمْ تُحِطْ بِهِ وَجِئْتُكَ مِن سَبَإٍ بِنَبَإٍ يَقِينٍ (22) إِنِّي وَجَدتُّ امْرَأَةً تَمْلِكُهُمْ وَأُوتِيَتْ مِن كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَلَهَا عَرْشٌ عَظِيمٌ (23) وَجَدتُّهَا وَقَوْمَهَا يَسْجُدُونَ لِلشَّمْسِ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ أَعْمَالَهُمْ فَصَدَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّبِيلِ فَهُمْ لَا يَهْتَدُونَ (24) أَلَّا يَسْجُدُوا لِلَّهِ الَّذِي يُخْرِجُ الْخَبْءَ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تُخْفُونَ وَمَا تُعْلِنُونَ (25)اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ ۩ (26)} [النمل)
(20) And he inspected the birds and said, “Why do I not see a hoopoe, or was he among the absent?” (20) I will punish him with a severe torment, or slay him, or give me manifest authority (21) So he stayed not far away and said: I have encompassed what you did not, and I have come to you from Sheba with certain news (22) I have found a woman who possesses them and has been given everything and who has a mighty throne (23)I found her and her people prostrating themselves to the sun besides God, and Satan made their deeds pleasing to them, so they prevented from guidence (24) (25) Do they not prostrate themselves to God who brings out what is hidden in the heavens and the earth and knows what you conceal and what you reveal? Allah, there is no god but He, Lord of the Exalted Throne (26)} [An-Naml]
We make use of the previous verse
The custom of our master Solomon was to inspect the army and the hoopoe from the members of the army consisting of humans, jinn, birds, etc., meaning that he inspects the army and does not see the hoopoe as a possibility, that the hoopoe has a specific place in which it can stand, and he did not find it, and this indicates the presence of a strong organization in the army, or that the hoopoe is among the group of birds in the army, and that it does not exist within the group of migratory birds, this means the intensity of the supervision of our master - Solomon - and in any case, it is meticulousness and strictness in the organization and preparation within the army.
You see with whom our master Solomon was talking about the hoopoe in his absence, was he with the rest of the birds or with the people and the jinn, who was he talking to except that his tone and his saying (I will torment him with a severe torment). To slaughter him, of course, the torment is almost plucking his feathers while he is alive. Does his saying this cause fear and terror among all the birds of his species, so that they do not do the same thing? God knows best, but what comes to mind, and this is evidence that his army was marching in the highest control and restricted for fear of the supreme leadership represented by the commander of the army, our master - Solomon - peace be upon him - why didn't the commander of the air force order the inspection of the bird or the commander of the electronic forces to check the condition of the jinn as a joke... He inspects everything himself why he is a king, a prophet, and the owner of wisdom, Is this what he called : - on the tongue of qur'an (, instruct me to be grateful for the blessing that you have bestowed upon me and my parents), there is an army of this size and strength that did not exist before, It should have a practical thanks, not just verbally.
The hoopoe itself came first in the matter directly without an apology for the lack of attendance or empty tales, and if this refers to something that indicates discipline, interdependence and talk according to the question in the army, then it must be clarified that absence has serious consequences if it is without a strong and acceptable excuse from the higher command, and his excuse was It is the opinion of another kingdom in the part covered by the hoopoe (the opinion of a nation prostrating to the sun instead of God)
Solomon's letter to the Queen of Sheba
Our master Solomon, peace be upon him, sent a letter to the Queen of Sheba to see whether the hoopoe was truthful in its claim or not. The book included a call to the people of Sheba to believe in God and submit to the command. So the Queen of Sheba took Solomon's book and read it, then gathered the ministers of her kingdom and the elders of her people and consulted them about what was new and what Solomon's book brought. Glory took them from their sin and advised her to fight Solomon and not to submit on him.
We benefit from this noble verse
First, the Kingdom of Sheba is preparing to make the head of the kingdom a woman in this era, and racism against women has not yet entered into life, and the queen's ministers advised her to fight Solomon - peace be upon him - by sending her a book calling her to worship God and not worship the sun, The ministers agreed to fight him and his mighty army. However, the Queen of Sheba had a different opinion. She knew that the author of the book is not like any king or sultan, and she offered to her ministers and the delegation accompanying her to send a gift to Solomon who would sympathize with her and bring her his love, and through that gift she knows strength. Solomon and his army after this gift was carried by a group of his powerful men, he sees what Solomon's king has reached, and then decides what the shape of Solomon's book will be, We benefit from the noble verse
If this refers to something that indicates the wisdom of its mind, then she consults, then thinks, and finally decides after all the available data, that the thinking of kings about expensive gifts takes many things by doing so either he is not a king and he rejoices in the gift and takes it and this is the beginning of bargaining - Or he is a king and rejects her and deals accordingly, or he sends her strongmen with precious and heavy gifts so that they may know how strong he is and see for themselves, and we note that she is the one who thought of the idea of the gift, and her advisors and ministers did not want her to say a word indicating the strength of her personality, the weight of her mind, and the implementation of what she sees after taking advice.
The Hoopoe
Basic information
The hoopoe is a strangelooking bird with a pinkish-brown body, striking black and white wings, a long black beak curved downward, and a long, pinkish-brown crest that it raises when excited.
wooden green hoopoe
Many types of birds play the role of soldiers, It patrols the outskirts of its territory to repel invaders. But the woody green hoopoe goes a step further, uniting into integrated, disciplined factions of members who work together to defend their African homeland. Up to a dozen birds work as one, coordinating chatter calls in a warning meant to fend off intruders,
The experiments show
That the birds are actually cooperating —taking individual turns that are programmed to produce as much noise as possible — and will coordinate their vocalizations from beak to beak in an escalating effort to match recorded calls that seem to threaten their territory. Just as human soldiers may bestow upon one another after a successful fight, so hoopoe cares and congratulates one another—the greatest respect for the birds that mustered the strongest defense. Why was the hoopoe among the chosen birds in Solomon's army?
Allah said
فَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ غُرَابًا يَبْحَثُ فِي الْأَرْضِ لِيُرِيَهُ كَيْفَ يُوَارِي سَوْءَةَ أَخِيهِ ۚ قَالَ يَا وَيْلَتَا أَعَجَزْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَمِثْلَ هَٰذَا الْغُرَابِ فَأُوَارِيَ سَوْءَةَ أَخِي ۖ فَأَصْبَحَ مِنَ النَّادِمِينَ (31)
So God sent crow to search on the earth to show him how to hide the awrah:mening here: dead body, of his brother, He said, "Woe, I am unable to be like this crow, So I buried my brother's woe, so he became one of the regretful (31)
We benefit from the noble verse
They are wombs to be pushed and the earth to swallow - and there are monsters in the beginning of humanity. Imagine the amount of the sadness in the heart of Adam - peace be upon him - for his murdered son on the one hand, and the relationship of the sons to each other on the other hand, and then finds monsters devouring the flesh of his son in his hands, a terrible thing, isn't it? So they are at the beginning of humanity, and this is the first killing among humans, so God sent the crow, so the human looked and imitated the animal, and permitted the best and purest way to bury the dead until they dissolve gently, It does not harm anyone, nor does anyone harm it. It is burial under the earth, and the process of decomposition continues to continue the life cycle. Decomposition is part of life. The dead person, bird, animal, etc. is decomposed and becomes in the fourth or fifth layer underground (minerals), heavy and simple, It is swept away by floods or very heavy rains into the oceans and seas, and other things are formed from them at the bottom of the ocean, and so on, a food cycle or a food web that is not missing in it... Glory be to the One who created and innovated.
Why do crows hold noisy funerals for their fallen friends
Next time you hear a murder crow shriek for no apparent reason, show a little respect: You may have found a funeral crow. Crows are among the few animals that show a social response to a dead member of their species. Although their jaws may sound like sad cries, funerals like these are not so much about mourning their fallen friends as they are about learning from their mistakes.
Crows hold a grudge - and transfer that grudge to other crows
Have you ever wondered why crow seekers sometimes wear masks? That's because crows can recognize human faces, especially the faces of mistaking humans, so if you're trying to record how crows react to negative stimuli (such as catching and marking them), you don't want to do with your real face.
The crows are smart enough and paranoid
Mind - that is, the ability to recognize mental states within themselves, and to infer that others have mental states as well, and that those mental states in others may differ from them. Crows like to store food for later, and have been observed doing so with greater caution when other crows have been around.
The crows use social ostracism to punish their selfish peers
Researchers from the University of Vienna gave the crows a task in which they would receive a reward only if they cooperated, pulling ropes to raise a platform. Which contains two pieces of cheese, one for each crow. If, in addition to his own, one raven stole his companion's cheese, he was outside: the other raven would refuse to cooperate with them - but they would cooperate with other ravens who played fair. "This complex method of keeping your partner in check has previously only been shown in humans and chimpanzees, and is a complete novelty among birds," said lead researcher Jörg Maassen.
Crows can plan ahead and barter for the items they need
When training crows to use tools, crows recognize items as being of value and can be set aside for future need. To find out, the researchers trained the crows to release a reward by sticking a tool into a tube emerging from the box, then took the tool and box away, and came back an hour later to present the crow with a set of objects—one of which was the tool. After another 15 minutes of picking the crow, the box was returned—80 percent of the time, the crow picked the correct tool.
Allah said
وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ (3) تَرْمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٍ مِّن سِجِّيلٍ (4) فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَّأْكُولٍ (5)
We benefit from the noble verse
1 - Where you can find The Ababbeel bird? The Common Swift is a bird found in Europe and Asia. This means that Saudi Arabia is closer to the continent of Asia than to the continent of Africa, and the birds are native to Asia and Europe, so it is logical for the birds to migrate to an area close to their homeland, on the one hand, on the other hand: God sends what he wants from wherever he wants. But the verse is explicit that God sent a bird called Al-Ababeel, he did not say that it was from the sky explicitly.
2 -It throw stones at them from the Segeel: which is: petrified clay, or it is a valley in Hell, The matter is religious. Doctrinally, it must be accepted that this is a punishment from God Almighty, but the mind necessitates that we think even a little, If it carries petrified clay, it is a high altitude of course, and it will hurt and lead to death.
3 - The wind blew: it was gusting, Eaten: A plant that has taken its grain and ate it, but it has no grain, so, Alllah - Aligmity - make the The infidels who fight for his sacred house are likebeans eaten what is in it, and leave what is around it or close it to be blown away by the wind wherever it is. How? We do not know, but we have tried to bring the meaning closer to the mind as much as possible, and God is higher and knows best.
4 - Don't understimated anything in this life, may be involve of it your end, look at Virus corona, you didn't see it by naked eye and carvested million of pepole around the world.
Final word
1 - God Is the best creator, and he's proved that some of them will create like him but Less than him, and they have created mosquitoes that eradicate malaria - although we have not seen it yet in flood-affected places like Pakistan - but we believe them and are waiting for promising results. However, God - the Most High - is the One who created a beginning, and everything they do is an imitation of what He created, and whoever begins is the best and most complete.
2 - The bird was created from God's creation - the Almighty - when it is small and we see it as a beauty between the blue sky and the dusty earth. We are happy which we see them fly in the sky, and we feel that this universe was created beautiful, but it seems that the matter is greater than that, each bird has its own independent personality, and the strangest thing is that God Almighty He did not mention in his book all kinds of birds, but rather select some and talk about them and their role, which is an indication for those who understand that either:
A - Mimicry like a crow, in burial and mourning for the dead
b - Or the use of the hoopoe for military purposes
C - Or the desperate defense of the holy things that are connected to heaven
Thank you, Lord, for what you created and excelled at even in the smallest of creatures
