Quran 27:62 (Ayah An-Naml)
(O Prophet) Or ˹ask them (the disbelievers),˺ “Who responds to the distressed when they cry to Him, relieving ˹their˺ affliction, and ˹Who˺ makes you successors in the earth? Is it another god besides Allah ? Yet you are hardly mindful !” Quran 27:62 Surah an-Naml (The Ant)
Surah Naml is named after ‘the Ant’ mentioned in (27:18).
This is the only mention of ‘the Ant’ in the whole of the Qur’an.
There are 93 Ayat in this Surah.
اَمَّنۡ يُّجِيۡبُ الۡمُضۡطَرَّ اِذَا دَعَاهُ وَيَكۡشِفُ السُّوۡٓءَ وَيَجۡعَلُكُمۡ خُلَفَآءَ الۡاَرۡضِ​ ؕ ءَاِلٰـهٌ مَّعَ اللّٰهِ ​ؕ قَلِيۡلًا مَّا تَذَكَّرُوۡنَ ؕ‏ ٦٢
The theme of the Surah is divine guidance in history.
Allah sent His Prophets to different people. Some accepted them and were guided,
while others denied them and they saw the consequences of their denial.
The Surah also contrasts between the principles of Tawhid and shirk.
بھلا کون ہے جو سنتا ہے ایک مجبور و لاچار کو جب وہ اس کو پکارتا ہے اور (اس کی) تکلیف کو دور کرتا ہے اور جو تمہیں جانشین بناتا ہے زمین میں کیا کوئی اور معبود بھی ہے اللہ کے ساتھ (ان کاموں میں شریک) ؟ بہت ہی کم نصیحت ہے جو تم لوگ حاصل کرتے ہو
