Do
birds lie like humankind? Of course! The Quran speaks about the
similarities between humans and the creatures surrounding them. Allah
(SWT) says:”There is not a moving (living) creature on earth, nor a bird
that flies with its two wings, but are communities like you…”
[Al-An-am:38]….
After
performing numerous experiments, scientists were astonished when they
discovered that birds lie just like humans! The world of birds is full
of secrets which scientists couldn’t discover except some of them. The
lying phenomenon in birds is a new discovery the scientists found out a
few years ago. Birds lie in order to obtain their food; they may also
lie and cheat to attract a female!
However,
Quran, the book of oneness, told us about this situation when
mentioning the hoopoe bird in the Prophet Solomon’s story with Balqees.
Allah (SWT) gave the prophet Solomon the ability to understand the
birds’ language and to speak to them. In the story, when the hoopoe bird
arrived late and told the king Solomon that he found people who
prostrate to the sun instead of Allah, Solomon told him: “We shall see whether you speak the truth or you are (one) of the liars”
[An-Nama:27]. This verse verifies that birds can be either trustworthy
or dishonest. This is what the scientists have discovered very recently!
Here a person asks: how did the prophet Solomon know that birds lie?
And who told the noble prophet Muhamed, peace be upon him, this story?
Indeed, Allah almighty is the one who created birds and their world.
