Ants posses the largest colony in the world

"Our Lord is He Who gave to each thing its form and nature, then guided it aright ….

Can you imagine the existence of a colony of ants which extends for more than six thousand kilometers from Italy to Spain? Really, it’s amazing, but it’s the power of Allah who is able to do anything in His world.

A group of scientists from Denmark, France and Switzerland had discovered the biggest colony in the world; its length is up to 6000 kilometers as it starts from Italy and ends in Spain! Inside that colony there are billions of ants whom are working in harmony with each others. When scientists brought some ants from outside and put them inside that huge colony, the inhabitants started to attack and kill the new comers. But when they put ants from the same colony, scientists didn’t find any hostile attitude toward the new ants!!!

 

It's not a hill but it’s ants' colony , scientists say that it considered to be the best kind of houses, it contains ventilation holes, it is high of the ground to avoid rains, inside it there are rooms for kids (nurseries)and warehouses and stores… glory to Allah who taught and guided those creatures , God says: ([Mûsâ (Moses)] said: "Our Lord is He Who gave to each thing its form and nature, then guided it aright.") (Sûrat Tâ-Hâ.-verse50).    

We are asking: what are the methods of communication between ants for thousands of kilometers? What is the size and form of complications that connect ants with each other? How can they build these colonies as scientists say that the effort to build one colony is more than the ability of human? Indeed it is the ability of Allah almighty who says: (The Work of Allah, Who perfected all things, verily He is Well-Acquainted with what you do.)(Sûrat An-Naml-verse88).
