The Ant
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.[27:26]
"God!- there is no god but He!- Lord of the Throne Supreme!"

* v.26 : The messenger (Hoopoe) is a pious bird, as befits a messenger of Solomon. After mentioning the false worship of the Sabaeans, he pronounces the Creed of Unity, and emphasises Allah’s attribute as Lord of the Great Throne, in order to make it clear that whatever may be the magnificence of a human throne such as he has described (in verse 23), he is not in any way misled from his loyalty to Solomon, the exponent of the true Religion of Unity.
