PROPHETIC ENGAGEMENT WITH CREATURES IN THE QUR’AN: INFLUENCE ON THE CALL TO ISLAM

Abstract

This study explores the concept of communication and its relationship with contact, highlighting the unique ways in which prophets conveyed messages to various creatures. Examples include the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) communicating with jinn, trees, and stones; Prophet David communicating with birds; and Prophet Solomon communicating with jinn, ants, and the hoopoe. The study concludes with several insights that underscore the historical significance of these interactions in the propagation of Islam and demonstrate the creativity and skill employed in dialogue and engagement with diverse beings.
