Also, the verses, And the birds gathered [in assemblies];(*<ref>*Qur’an, 38:19.</ref>)* We have been taught the speech of birds,(*<ref>*Qur’an, 27:16.</ref>) show that Almighty God bestowed on David and Solomon (Peace be upon them) knowledge of the tongues of the bird species, and of the tongues of their innate capacities; that is, of the things for which they would be useful. Yes, since it is the truth and since the face of the earth is a laden table set up by the Most Merciful in honour of man, most of the other animals and birds who benefit from it may be subjugated to man and serve him. Man employs some of the smallest of them, the honey-bee and silk-worm, and through Divine inspiration has opened up a beneficial highway, and by employing pigeons in various tasks and teaching birds like parrots to speak, he has added fine things to the virtues of human civilization. In the same way, if the tongues of innate capacities of other birds and animals were known, there are many species which could be employed in important tasks like their brothers, the domesticated animals. For example, against plagues of locusts: if the tongue of starlings was known, who eat and destroy locusts, and their movements could be regulated, what valuable services they could be emplo yed in free of charge. | Also, the verses, And the birds gathered [in assemblies];(*<ref>*Qur’an, 38:19.</ref>)* We have been taught the speech of birds,(*<ref>*Qur’an, 27:16.</ref>) show that Almighty God bestowed on David and Solomon (Peace be upon them) knowledge of the tongues of the bird species, and of the tongues of their innate capacities; that is, of the things for which they would be useful.
