Hello all,
Just got a quick question to you guys. Since you believe the Koran is the word of God, do you INTERPRET everything it says LITERALLY. For example do you really believe that for example King Solomon communicated LITERALLY with ants or do you take a METAPHORICAL meaning from this story? 18] At length, when they came to a (lowly) valley of ants, one of the ants said: "O ye ants get into your habitations, lest Solomon and his hosts crush you (under foot) without knowing it."
19] So he smiled, amused at its speech; and he said: "O my Lord! so order me that I may be grateful for Thy favors, which Thou hast bestowed on me and on my parents, and that I may work the righteousness that will please Thee: and admit me, by Thy Grace, to the ranks of Thy righteous Servants."
Thanks
