Locust

Beings · Nature

Locust as an animal people have named and used. Swarm hunger, field change, vast number — one living kind, not a single symbol.

Islam

  • Locust appears in Islam.

    The Qur’an (7:133) names locusts among the signs sent upon Pharaoh’s people. A named locust in that revelation, not a generic swarm dump and not frog as the neighboring sign.

    from M.A.S. Abdel Haleem (translation) · The Qur’an, 2004 (this translation); Arabic text 7th century CE
