"And Your lord inspired the bee, to
build your dwellings in hills, on trees, and in (human’s) habitations.
Then, to eat of all the produce and follow the ways of your Lord made
easy. There comes forth from their bodies a drink of varying colour,
wherein is healing for men: Verily, in this is a sign for those who give
thought."(The Quran, 16:68-69)
The imperative "build" above is
the translation of the Arabic word "attakhithi", which is the feminine
form (Arabic grammar unlike English, differentiates between the sexes).
The feminine form is used when all of those it refers to are female,
whereas the masculine is used when a group consists of at least 1 male.
Therefore the Quran is in fact saying "build, you female bees.."
A swarm of bees , which collect honey and build the hive, are female only.
Thus,
the phrasing of this command is in agreement with the scientific fact
that male bees do not partake in the construction of the hive.
Microscopes
were not invented until 1610, when Galileo invented one of the first
microscopes almost a thousand years after Prophet Muhammad (peace be
upon him). It is only Allah, the Creator of all things, who revealed
such details over 1,423 years ago. This one word of the Quran is
sufficient to prove that Quran is from non other than Allah!
