Spider Web

In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful

Extract from Chapter 29 of QUR’AANIC STUDIES – A Modern Tafsir:

41. Mathalu allatheena ittakhathoo min dooni Allahi awliyaa kamathali alAAankabooti ittakhathat baytan wa-inna awhana albuyooti labaytu alAAankabooti law kanoo yaAAlamoona

41. Patrons – in lieu of Allah – that people take to, are like a web of a house that the female spider builds. And, certainly indeed, the most debilitating of all houses is the spider's house – if they but knew!6a

6a. One ought to see, in this context, the YouTube video in which it is shown how a fly gets helplessly ensnared in a spider’s web! Moreover, biologists came to know about the fact, that it is the female which builds the web, much later than when it was indicated here in this Verse.
