That is their nature. But when  you study Surah al-Namal (27) about the conversation of the Prophet  Solomon (sws) with <em>Hud Hud<\/em>  about Bilquees, the polytheist queen, and about the conversations of  ants you would definitely think that animals have ability to think and  pray and know about Allah.<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>The  word &#8220;thinking&#8221; has a definition that can be different for individuals.  Animals do many things that we may call &#8220;thinking&#8221;, like a dog that  finds a way to rescue his owner. This &#8220;thinking&#8221; however is nothing  close to the thinking ability of human being.<\/p>\n<p>The  Qur&#8217;an has informed us that ants warned each other about the army of  Solomon stepping on them. There is nothing here against the facts we  know about the worlds of ants (considering that when the Qur&#8217;an uses the  word \u0642\u0627\u0644\u062a (said) it does not necessarily mean oral communication).<\/p>\n<p>Also <em>Hud Hud<\/em>  simply communicated his observation with Solomon. This much of  &#8220;thinking&#8221; is fully in line with our knowledge of animals&#8217; world.<\/p>\n<p>In  the case of Hud Hud however there can be another point to consider as  well. As we know God has made some of his creatures to serve Solomon, it  is likely that He gave those creatures (who were serving Solomon)  abilities that otherwise they might not have had. <\/p>\n<p>As  for animals being aware of God and praying to Him, this is a fact that  the Qur&#8217;an has actually referred to very explicitly (like Hud Hud in the  verse 27:24, also look at 24:41, 16:49). In fact according to the  Qur&#8217;an anything in the heaven and earth, even things that are not alive  are aware of God and praise Him (62:1).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Farhad Shafti<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-01-28<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6375\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some  people say that animals cannot think.
