Once upon a time, there was no light, and people and animals lived in complete darkness. So finally, they decided to steal the fire from the East.

Many animals tried. Opossum, vulture, and crow, but they could not succeed.

Crows were wight and singing very nicely, but their color and sound changed after looking to fire for so long.

Finally, the grandmother Spider tried. She created her web to East, formed a pot from clay, went in silence, stole the fire, hid it in the pot of clay, and covered it with a lid.

Of immortality
His strategy
Was physiognomy.”

Spider meaning in Islam

What does the Qur’an say about Spiders?

The word Spider is mentioned twice in a verse of the Holy Quran. It is as follows:

“The example of those who take allies other than Allah is like that of the Spider who takes a home. And indeed, the weakest of homes is the home of the Spider, if they only knew.”
– Al-Ankabut (29:41)

Hadith about Spider webs: The Spider and the cave story

Besides the Quran, there’s a fascinating story about a Spider I read in the hadith.

It says, once a Spider saved the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his friend Abu Bakr from enemies.

The story, in a nutshell, is as follows:

It was 622 AD when Qurayeshis tried to kill Prophet Muhammad (saw). So, he decided to travel to Madina from Mecca.

With him, he took his closest disciple Abu Bakr. But, before heading north, they hid in a cave in Jabal Thawr.

That’s because enemies were following them to the cave.

In the meantime, Allah ordered a Spider to construct a web at the cave entrance.

Therefore, when the Qurayeshis reached them, they saw the web & thought it would take days to make such an intricate web.

On the other hand, Muhammad (saw) left only a few hours ago. Hence, there’s no possibility that he and Abu Bakr is inside the cave.

Therefore they went, and a Spider saved Muhammad (saw) on the order of Allah.

Both the hadith and Qur’an mention Spiders as protectors and guidance.

Spirit animal Spider spiritual meaning

Spider as spiritually means progressive, enduring, creative, and source of sacred feminine energy. However, I believe a spirit animal Spider has more to offer if you can communicate with him properly.

Spiders construct their web with creativity and patience. And once they start building, they only stop when it’s done.

Therefore, they can also teach your spirit to be creative and progressive.

However, Spiders build things and fight against their enemies with few resources.

Hence, it indicates that Spiders can help you fight against odds with all you have.

Moreover, you’ll be able to focus more on your skills rather than looking for resources.

Furthermore, a spirit animal Spider will teach you to find your destiny and see your own life in the whole life connected with others.

Spider gives the guidance of Oneness.

The Spider’s teaching is to proceed with precision and grace, whatever the circumstances.

Developing positive feelings and attitudes to achieve desired results requires extraordinary effort and awareness; until this holistic approach becomes part of the personality.
