Commentary:
The verse throws interesting light on an important political question. Islam enjoins Muslims to obey their rulers. If, however, the latter deny to them religious freedom and resort to compulsion in matters of faith, Muslims are enjoined to migrate from their country rather than offer resistance to the established authority. But what should they do if the authorities do not even permit them to migrate and force them to remain in the country and suffer persecution? The verse under comment supplies an answer to this question by saying that Pharaoh pursued the Israelites "wrongfully and aggressively," which means that in preventing the Israelites from migrating Pharaoh was doing a thing to which he had absolutely no right. Thus if rulers prevent an oppressed subject people from peacefully leaving a country, the latter would be justified in resisting and opposing them by all legitimate means and in that case defiance of the authority will not be held as a breach of the law or an act of rebellion. Just as nobody is allowed to defy and break the law of the land in which he lives, similarly no Government has a right to compel any person to live under it while denying him freedom of religion and conscience.
The words, He in Whom the children of Israel believe, spoken by Pharaoh at the time of his drowning, show the utterly abject state of his mind at that time. If he had said that he believed in the God of Moses, he might be considered to have had some sense of dignity left in him because, having been brought up in the royal household and being the leader of his people, Moses was entitled to respect even from worldly considerations; but to say that he believed in Him in Whom the children of Israel believed—the very children of Israel whom it was his pride to trample under foot—bespeaks the great depth of abasement to which the proud Pharaoh had fallen.

حَتّٰۤی اِذَاۤ اَتَوۡا عَلٰی وَادِ النَّمۡلِ قَالَتۡ نَمۡلَۃٌ یّٰۤاَیُّہَا النَّمۡلُ ادۡخُلُوۡا مَسٰکِنَکُمۡ لَا یَحۡطِمَنَّکُمۡ سُلَیۡمٰنُ وَجُنُوۡدُہٗ وَہُمۡ لَا یَشۡعُرُوۡنَ
نَمْل (Naml, 纳穆勒) 是一个专有名词, “纳穆勒谷” 并不是像一般误解为蚂蚁的山谷的那种意思, 而是一个称为蚁的部族生活在那里的山谷。قَامُوْس (Qamus)” 中有这么一句话, اَلْاَبْرِقَةُ مِنْ مِيَاهِ النَّمْلَةِ (al-Abriqatu min Miyahin Namlati), 也就是说 اَبْرِقَة (Abriqah, 阿布里卡) 是 نَمْلَة (Namlah, 纳穆拉) 的许多泉水中的一条。因此, “蚁” 是一个部族的名字, 正如 مَازِن حَمَاسَہ (Mazin, Hamasah), 它的意思是蚁卵, 是一个阿拉伯人的名字。在阿拉伯部族, 用兽类或野兽的名字称呼的不是一种鲜见的做法, 诸如: بَنُوْاَسَد (Banu Asad, 狮子的子孙), بَنُوْ كَلْب (Banu Kalb, 狗的子孙), بَنُوْ نَمْل Banu Naml, (蚂蚁的子孙) 等等。此外, 在节文中使用 اُدْخُلُوْا (Udkhulu 进入) 和 مَسَاكِنَكُمْ (Masakinakum, 你们的住处) 这些单词, 有力地证实了 نَمْل (Naml) 是一个部族的这个看法, 因为前一个动词只用于有理性的人而后一个短语 (你们的住处) 在 «古兰经» 中也只用于人的住处 (29:39; 32:27)。这样, Naml 的意思是 اَلنَّمْل (An-Naml) 部族的一个人--------Naml人。所讲的那个 Naml 人可能是他们的首领。他叫人们要回避素莱曼的军队而叫他们走到自己的家里去。按照某些权威人士的说法, 这山谷位于吉布林 (جِبْرِيْن, Jibrin) 和阿斯卡兰 (عَسْقَلَان, ‘Asqalan) 之间。‘阿斯卡兰是海岸上的一个城镇, 在西奈附近的加兹 (Gaz) 以北 12 英里 (تَقْوِيْمُ الْبُلْدَان, Taqwimul-buldan)。吉布林是北部的一个城镇, 位于大马士革的维拉亚 (وِلَايَة, Vilayah)。这说明, 蚁谷位於近海岸的地方, 在耶路撒冷的对面或附近, 在从大马士革到希贾兹 حِجَاز, (Hijaz) 的路上, 离开它大约有一百英里。直到素莱曼时代, 这个国家的这一部分, 由阿拉伯人和麦德彦人居住着。(见叙利亚和巴勒斯坦的古代和现代地图) 然而, 按照另一些权威人士的意见, 它是在也门。后一种看法, 看来更近乎实际情况。由于历史事实, 环绕这一山谷编造的许多传说只是些猜测。这个简单的事实看来是, 在一次去沙巴 (سَبَأ, Saba’) 的军事远征中, 素莱曼可能曾经走过这个蚁族人居住的山谷。
وادیٔ نمل ساحل سمندر پر یروشلم کے مقابل پر یا اس کے قریب دمشق سے حجاز کی طرف آتے ہوئے ایک سچ مچ کی وادی ہے جسے استعارۃ وادیٔ نمل کہتے ہیں۔ اندازاًدمشق سے سو میل نیچے کی طرف واقع ہے۔ ان علاقوں میں حضرت سلیمان علیہ السلام کے وقت تک عرب اور مدین کے بہت سے قبائل بستے تھے (دیکھئے نقشہ فلسطین و شام بعہد قدیم و جدید و نیلسنز انسائیکلوپیڈیا) (Nelson`s Encyclopedia) اور نملہ ایک قوم تھی جو وہاں رہتی تھی اس آیت سے یہ بھی ظاہر ہوتا ہے کہ حضرت سلیمان علیہ السلام کی قوم جان بوجھ کر کسی کو نقصان نہیں پہنچاتی تھی بلکہ اگر اس کو پتہ لگ جاتا کہ کوئی قوم کمزور ہے تو اس کو بچانے کی کوشش کرتی تھی۔</
Naml being a proper noun, "the Valley of An-Naml" does not mean the valley of ants as is generally misunderstood but the valley where a tribe named Naml lived. In Qamus we have, al-Abriqatu min Miyahili Namlati, i.e. Abriqah is one of the springs of Namlah. So Naml was the name of a tribe just as Mazin (Hamasah), which means the eggs of ants, was the name of an Arab. In Arabia it was not an uncommon practice that tribes were named after animals and beasts such as Banu Asad, Banu Kalb, Banu Naml, etc. Moreover, the use of the words Udkhulu (enter) and Masakinakum (your habitations) in the verse lends powerful support to the view that Naml was a tribe, since the former verb is used only for rational beings and the latter expression (your habitations) also has been used in the Qur’an exclusively for human habitations (29:39; 32:27). Thus Namlah means a person of the tribe of An- Naml—a Namlite. The said Namlite was possibly their leader and had ordered the people to get
It appears that the piety and godliness of Solomon’s soldiers was famed far and wide. They would not knowingly harm or injure any people. This seems to be the implication of the words, while they knew not, and this is what pleased Solomon as is clear from the next verse.
Commentary:
نمل (Naml) being a proper noun, واد النمل (the valley of Naml) does not mean the valley of ants as is generally misunderstood but the valley where a tribe named Naml lived. In Qamus under the word برق we have الابرقة من میاہ النملة i.e. Abriqah is one of the springs of Namlah. So Naml is the name of a tribe just as Mazin (مازن) which means the eggs of ants is the name of an Arab tribe. In Arabia it was not an uncommon practice that tribes were named after animals and beasts such as Banu Asad, Banu Taghlab, Banu Kalb, Banu Naml, etc. Moreover, the use of the words ادخلوا (enter) and مساکنکم(your habitations) in the verse lends powerful support to the view that Naml was a tribe, since the former word is used only for rational beings and the expression مساکنکم (your habitations) has been used in the Quran exclusively for human habitations (29:39; 32:27). Thus نملة means a person of the tribe of النمل; a Namlite. The said Namlite was possibly their leader and had ordered the people to get out of the way of the army of Solomon and enter their houses.
According to some authorities this valley is situated between Jibrin and ‘Asqalan. ‘Asqalan is a town on the sea coast, twelve miles to the north of Gaz, near Sinai (Taqwimul-Buldan). Jibrin is a town in the north, situated in the vilayat of Damascus. This shows that the Valley of Naml is situated near the sea coast, opposite to or near Jerusalem, lying on the route from Damascus to Hijaz, at a distance of about a hundred miles from it. This part of the country was up to the time of Solomon inhabited by the Arabs and the Midianites. (See ancient and modern maps of Syria and Palestine). According to other authorities, however, it is situated in Yemen. This latter view seems to be more akin to reality. In view of this historical fact fabulous legends woven round this valley are mere conjectures of the commentators of the Quran. The simple fact seems to be that while on a military expedition to Saba’, Solomon might have passed by the valley where the tribe called Namlah lived.
It further appears from the verse that the piety and godliness of Solomon’s soldiers was famed far and wide. They would not knowingly harm or injure any people. This seems to be the implication of the words "and they knew not" and this is what pleased Solomon as is clear from the next verse.
