The surah that speaks of the Valley of The Ants, through which the hosts of the prophet Solomon were once marching, wherein God miraculously enabled Solomon to hear one of them as she warned the other to flee into their homes before being crushed—a miracle of audition and understanding for which Solomon thanked God profusely. It takes its name from the story of Solomon and the ant (naml), mentioned in verse 18 ff. The surah both opens and closes by describing the Quran as joyful news for the believers and a warning for others. It gives stories of past prophets and the destruction of the communities that disbelieved in them. Illustrations are given of the nature of God’s power, contrasted with the total lack of power of the "partners" they worship beside Him, and descriptions are given of the Day of Judgement for those who deny it.

Detailed verse by verse explanation of Quran in Urdu by Late Dr. Israr Ahmad.
١٥ - اور ہم نے داؤد اور سلیمان کو علم بخشا اور انہوں نے کہا کہ خدا کا شکر ہے جس نے ہمیں بہت سے مومن بندوں پر فضلیت دی .
[27:15] And We had certainly given to David and Solomon knowledge, and they said, "Praise [is due] to Allah, who has favored us over many of His believing servants."
[Transliteration] Wa laqad aatainaa Daawooda wa sulaimaana 'ilmaa, wa qaalal hamdu lil laahil lazee faddalanaa 'alaa kaseerim min 'ibaadihil mu'mineen
١٦ - اور سلیمان اور داؤد کے قائم مقام ہوئے۔ اور کہنے لگے کہ لوگو! ہمیں (خدا کی طرف سے) جانوروں کی بولی سکھائی گئی ہے اور ہر چیز عنایت فرمائی گئی ہے۔ بےشک یہ (اُس کا) صریح فضل ہے .
[27:16] And Solomon inherited David. He said, "O people, we have been taught the language of birds, and we have been given from all things. Indeed, this is evident bounty."
[Transliteration] Wa warisa Sulaimaanu Daawooda wa qaala yaaa aiyuhan naasu 'ullimnaa mantiqat tairi wa ooteenaa min kulli shai'in inna haazaa lahuwal fadlul mubeen
١٨ - یہاں تک کہ جب چیونٹیوں کے میدان میں پہنچے تو ایک چیونٹی نے کہا کہ چیونٹیوں اپنے اپنے بلوں میں داخل ہو جاؤ ایسا نہ ہو کہ سلیمان اور اس کے لشکر تم کو کچل ڈالیں اور ان کو خبر بھی نہ ہو .
[27:18] Until, when they came upon the valley of the ants, an ant said, "O ants, enter your dwellings that you not be crushed by Solomon and his soldiers while they perceive not."
١٩ - تو وہ اس کی بات سن کر ہنس پڑے اور کہنے لگے کہ اے پروردگار! مجھے توفیق عطا فرما کہ جو احسان تونے مجھ پر اور میرے ماں باپ پر کئے ہیں ان کا شکر کروں اور ایسے نیک کام کروں کہ تو ان سے خوش ہوجائے اور مجھے اپنی رحمت سے اپنے نیک بندوں میں داخل فرما .
[27:19] So [Solomon] smiled, amused at her speech, and said, "My Lord, enable me to be grateful for Your favor which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents and to do righteousness of which You approve. And admit me by Your mercy into [the ranks of] Your righteous servants."
[Transliteration] Fatabassama daahikam min qawlihaa wa qaala Rabbi awzi'nee an ashkura ni'mata kal lateee an'amta 'alaiya wa 'alaa waalidaiya wa an a'mala saalihan tardaahu wa adkhilnee birahmatika fee 'ibaadikas saaliheen
