Surah Namal means?

A. The Spider
B. The Bee
C. The Ants

Correct Answer: C. The Ants

The correct answer is C: The Ants. Surah An-Naml is the 27th chapter of the Holy Quran, and its name, An-Naml, directly translates from Arabic to 'The Ants'. The Surah gets its name from the story mentioned within it (verses 18-19) where Prophet Solomon (PBUH) understands the speech of an ant and smiles at its warning to other ants to clear the path for Solomon's army.

  • Option A: The Spider is incorrect. The Arabic name for 'The Spider' is Al-Ankabut, which is the name of Surah 29 of the Quran.
  • Option B: The Bee is incorrect. The Arabic name for 'The Bee' is An-Nahl, which is the name of Surah 16 of the Quran. This Surah highlights many signs of Allah's power, including the creation of bees and the benefits of their honey.
  • Option D: The Elephant is incorrect. The Arabic name for 'The Elephant' is Al-Fil, which is the name of Surah 105 of the Quran. This Surah recounts the historical event of Abraha's attempt to destroy the Kaaba with his army of elephants.
