Killing the Spider?Long ago, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him,) and his companion were travelling to Al-Madinah when they heard that some men from Mecca called polytheists were coming to kill them. They took shelter in the Cave of Thawr. While they were in the cave, spiders spun webs across the entrance. When the polytheists came upon the cave, they were fooled into thinking that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) were not in the cave because they would have broken the spider's web going in.
After the assasins went by, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), traveled to Al-Medinah where he and Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), were greeted by the people in Al-Medinah that had converted to Islam and by his followers that had travelled there from Mecca. This journey that Muhammad took is known as the Hijrah.
''As a man cleans his house, he might see a spider that has woven its web in a corner of the house. If he realises that he ought to think about this creature which is normally of no importance to anyone, he will see new doors being opened for him. This tiny insect he sees before him is a miracle of design. There is perfect symmetry in the web the spider has woven. If, by any chance, he wonders how a tiny spider could achieve such astonishingly perfect design, and if he makes quick research, he will encounter some other extraordinary facts: the thread a spider uses is thirty percent more flexible than a rubber thread of the same thickness. The thread the spider produces is of such a superior quality that men use it as a model for the manufacture of bullet-proof vests.''
