Language of birds

Assalamoalaekum

I am sharing an ayah that inspired me today.

أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم

وَوَرِثَ سُلَيْمَانُ دَاوُودَ ۖ وَقَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ عُلِّمْنَا مَنْطِقَ الطَّيْرِ وَأُوتِينَا مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ ۖ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ الْفَضْلُ الْمُبِينُ
And Sulaiman was Dawood´s heir, and he said: O men! we have been taught the language of birds, and we have been given all things; most surely this is manifest grace.
(Surah An-Naml,27:16)

وَوَرِثَ And inherited  -  سُلَيْمَٰنُ Sulaiman  -  دَاوُۥدَ Dawood.  -  وَقَالَ And he said,  -  يَٰٓأَيُّهَا \"O  -  ٱلنَّاسُ people!  -  عُلِّمْنَا We have been taught  -  مَنطِقَ (the) language  -  ٱلطَّيْرِ (of) the birds,  -  وَأُوتِينَا and we have been  -  مِن from  -  كُلِّ every  -  شَىْءٍ thing.  -  إِنَّ Indeed,  -  هَٰذَا this  -  لَهُوَ surely, it  -  ٱلْفَضْلُ (is) the favor  -  ٱلْمُبِينُ evident.\"  -

Every once in a while I am amazed by birds. In this age of technology I hardly get time to go outside to look at birds. But when I hear them early in the morning I know I missed the time of tahajjud. I wonder how do they wake up every morning so early and do tasbeeh. I wonder what do they say in tasbeeh.

I wonder what do they talk. Every once in a while when I am driving I see a large flock of birds sitting in line on the wires up on the traffic light as if they are having a meeting. I wonder what do they talk in their meeting. Their meetings are quite right than ours.

When i see a flock of birds in the sky in a line, I wish to ask their leader how do they communicate.

Sulaiman عليه السلام was taught language of birds and he mentioned it was a clear bounty.

SubhanAllah.

I realize the advantages of knowing multiple languages. We can communicate with humanity better if we know each other languages. We have a better chance to learn from each other. And on top of that if we know the language of birds, that's truly an obvious bounty.

Only Sulaiman عليه السلام was given this power and he used it so wisely. SubhanAllah

What do we expect of a هد هد a woodpecker? And a wood pecker brought the news of Queen of Saba. And Sulaiman عليه السلام was able to interpret that news. SubhanAllah. And Allah gave him this power. Allah is Great. الله أكبر
