ICYMI: WATCH: Man Performs Haka Dance When Sending Off His Brother at KLIA2

Animals are often believed to have the ability to understand and 'communicate' with humans. On occasion, it gets filmed and goes viral- like the man in a TikTok video seen reciting verses of the Quran to tame a venomous snake. The man in the video, believed to be a religious preacher in Sungai Petani is said to be well known for his ability to catch snakes among the locals there.

The viral video which has so far received almost 224,000 likes since it was posted less than 24 hours ago was posted by user, @mohdamirfaizal. The video has received almost 4,000 comments.

In the video, a man wearing a helmet is seen holding a hooked rod, trying to pin what appears to be a cobra to the floor while reading the Prophet Sulaiman's prayer (a verse out of the Quran).

The cobra, in amazement, stops putting up a fight and lowers its head to the floor, lying almost flat. He refers to the cobra as 'Adik' in his 'conversation' with the animal and tells it to lie down quietly. It 'listened'.

The man then goes on to explain that the snake, known as a monocled cobra, is the second one he has caught this week before the video ends.

Among the comments posted were from @Rozzahfeez1573 who said:

"A good snake. Obeys you when you recite the prayer of Prophet Sulaiman...Keep him away from humans.

User @taliakucingku said: "Alhamdulillah, you don't need to beat it to death, you just have to believe in God and the prayers of Prophet Sulaiman."

Meanwhile, @Pendita GiLa said: "I have had a case where I read the prayer of Prophet Sulaiman and the snake bowed down and followed my instructions to come in and give me the cloth I put in front of him and then it took off.
