Better Recognize Animal Rights!

Salam Yo,

Allah swt says in the Quran: 

“There is not an animal on earth, nor a bird that flies on its wings, but they are communities like you…” (Quran 6:38)

Recently I’ve been hearing a lot of stories about people torturing animals. Its kind of sickening to know people torture them for no reason. Like a group of crazy white boys who tied a cat to a fire hydrant then lit it on fire, the sound of the cat screaming was heard from very far. Meow! that was haram folks.

After i heard the story the first thing that crossed my mind was that God willing they are cursed. How can you be so cruel to watch an animal being tortured for fun. If you have engaged in this practice then obviously you haven’t understood your purpose in life. Yes animals have rights also.

Interestingly enough all the prophets were shepherds, the wisdom behind this is amazing mashallah. The reason why they were shepherds was because it was a transition for them from dealing with animals to humans. Certainly if a person treats an animal with care then they will most likely be gentle to humans also. So why shouldn’t you torture animals?

We know just how important treating animals with gentleness and care can be. Our Prophet Muhammad said “Do not abuse the creation of Allah.” [ Narrated by Abu Dawud and others]

Remember the hadith of the woman who locked up her cat and tortured it, she was sent to hell as a result of her cruelness behavior towards the cat. On the flip side, there was a prostitute who was a believer, and because she helped a dog that was thirsty with her boot Allah gave her Heaven. Mashallah look at how merciful Allah is.

So if your a fan of Micheal Vick and love to watch dogs fight. Think again and don’t follow snoop dogs or dmx’s phatwa. Our beloved Prophet Muhammad forbade inciting animals to fight each other. (Narrated by Abdullah bin Abbas, Musli, Tirmidi and Abu Al darda: recorded in riyad (ref no 28), Hadith No. 1606) oh that was an official hadith chain of transmission!

Before i bounce on you my brothers and sisters, i found a hot gem by Imam Hazrat Ali. He said ” Be like a bee, anything he heats is clean, anything he drops is sweet and any branch he sits upon does not break.” (Maxims of Ali, translated by Al- Halal from Nahj-ul-Balagha (in Arabic)

Feel Me? Wasalaam Yo!

    Good post.

    animal testing? very haram. read all of this summary by a very i ntelligent imam, please read section II also:

    http://www.themodernreligion.com/misc/an/an1.htm

    i am a vegetarian muslim and I never sacrifice animals. Society has changed. We do not need meat anymore to survive, and if we can spare their lives we will be rewarded at the day of Judgement.

    My family gives zakat instead of slaughtering sheep. We also give zakat to animal rights organisations, because helping animals will be rewarded as much as helping humans.

    I suggest that all of you give lots of zakat instead of taking away a life and letting an animal suffer. In the time of the prohpet it was the least painful way that existed but nowadays we can stun animals before slaughter. It would take away lots of pain because really, the sheep suffer enormously from the halal slaughters that are being done right now.

    Islam requires us to use our logics, so please brothers and sisters, take animal rights seriously and change traditional cruel habits, as Rasulullah s.a.w. would do that too.

      That is the most D-U-M-B advice ever. Go research your religion sister, you're sounding like a total ignorant

      salam,

      good post, EXCELLENT website.

      okay what is with the people that are going on about the animal pictures and how cute or cool they are????

      and i have noticed that they are non- muslims, as their name suggests.

      im NOT saying non-muslims are not allowed on this site- ABSOLOUTLEY NOT. but it amuses me that the googled picture of the animals seem SOOO FASCINATING to them!!!

      awww may be its a bunch of 5 year olds :)

    to aicha…where is your hadith regarding that we will be rewarded for not sacrificing an animal for food?

    secondly how do you know that the animal is going through pain? what can you speak to animals all of a sudden?

    no offence but what your saying there…is pretty stupid

    do you want to be like the karfir hindu's and buddhists?

    because by what your saying about animals and meat it seems like you want to be yes?

    i suggest you do more research on this matter
