Abstract:   (1915 Views)
Verses 68 and 69 of chapter An-Nahl deal with the process of producing one of the blessings that is the product of divine revelation to bees. The most important part of these verses is the use of the word revelation in relation to bees. There are various views on what and how this revelation takes place. The insectan aspect of the bee has overshadowed many of these views and has caused some commentators to tend to views such as the instinctive nature of this type of revelation. In the present article, while reporting and criticizing the different views of the commentators in this regard, the author has tried to develop and explain his own opinion. The commentators' opinion regarding the revelation to the bee is discussed under the two main categories of prophetic revelation and animal instinct. Based on the results obtained, the revelation in this verse has nothing to do with the instinctual actions of the bee, but this revelation is of the type of revelation that God Almighty sent to the prophets (AS), which is almost accompanied by a special talk to animals.
Keywords: Verse 68 of chapter An-Nahl, bee, revelation to bee, prophetic revelation.
