Animal Cruelty and Islam
Let’s get the facts
straight right away – CRUELTY TO ANIMALS IS FORBIDDEN IN ISLAM.
There! I said it. No
human is allowed to be harsh to animals. Nor are we allowed to torture them,
mentally or physically, in any way. Period.
Hurting an animal is
as bad as hurting a human. Worse, it comes with dire consequences as they are
unable to speak for themselves, hence only Allah hears their cries for mercy
and those who mistreat them will be punished severely by God Himself.
Islam is a religion
of mercy, then what makes you think you have the right to punish an animal or
to treat it wrong? Our Prophet Muhammad (SAWT), always showed kindness to animals and
preached the same.
It is related from AbdulRahman bin
Abdullah that a group of Companions were once on a journey with the Prophet
(SAWT) when he left them for a while. During his absence, they saw a bird with
its two young and they took the young ones from the nest. When the Prophet
Muhammad (SAWT) came back, the mother bird started circling above them, beating
its wings in grief. He said, "Who has hurt the feelings
of this bird by taking its young? Return them to her." (Muslim)
Allah Blesses You for Showing Kindness to
Animals
