SCIENCE:

As science has advanced, we have come to know, that the animal or insect that has the closest resemblance to human beings is the ant. The ants bury the dead ants, the same way humans do. They have a sophisticated method of labor, which has supervisors, managers, workers, etc. They have a sophisticated method of communication, and they very often even meet to chat. They even have marketplaces, where they exchange goods. And in monsoon, if while storing the grains the grains get wet, the ants bring the grain in the sunlight to make it dry.

ISLAM:

The Quran says in Surah An-Naml, Chapter 27, Verse 18:

​

[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."

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَتَوْا۟ عَلَىٰ وَادِ ٱلنَّمْلِ قَالَتْ نَمْلَةٌۭ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّمْلُ ٱدْخُلُوا۟ مَسَـٰكِنَكُمْ لَا يَحْطِمَنَّكُمْ سُلَيْمَـٰنُ وَجُنُودُهُۥ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ
