Ants Crushed"!!

Allah Almighty says: An ant said: "O ye ants, get into your habitations, lest Solomon and his hosts crush you (under foot) without knowing it." *27/18+..

Scientists have discovered recently that the ants are equipped with a strong external skeleton (exoskeleton) to protect and support the ants fragile body. Being inflexible, the ants skeleton gets crushed when pressed just as glass does! The recently discovered fact that ants bodies can get crushed was reported to us in the Holy Quran 14 centuries ago in a wonderful address from one ant to its fellow ants; Allah The Exalted says: Till, when they came on the Valley of Ants, An ant said: "O ye ants, get into your habitations, lest Solomon and his hosts crush you (under foot) without knowing it." [Al Naml: 18]. So look how the use of the verb to crush has precisely expressed that scientific fact.
