| Animals | ||
| 1. | Narrated by the humble servant of One Islam, whose name means al-Haqq from Allah’s Apostle in vision, saying: “All that a pure believer needs is within the True and Holy Qur’an. This is the first. Honor the sacred deed (constitution) of One Islam second. Respect these authentic Hadith of Allah's Apostle and no other is the third. Finally, honor all other sacred scripture that respects Allah as one who loves all life, peace and wisdom. Never raise false sayings and false scripture above these four things.” | |
| 2. | The Prophet said, “Allah placed humanity as stewards of the Earth. Therefore, upon your death you shall be held accountable for each animal you tended and each you killed.” |
|
| 3. | The Prophet said, “Respect all of Allah’s living creations when treating animals of burden: ride them when they are fit to be ridden and get off them when they are tired.” |
|
| 4. | A young man came before Allah’s apostle with a carpet and said, "O Messenger! I passed through a wood and heard the voices of young birds; and I took and put them into my carpet; and their mother came fluttering around my head, and I uncovered the young, and the mother fell down upon them, then I wrapped them up in my carpet; and there are the young which I have." Then the Prophet said, "Put them down." And when he did so, their mother joined them: and Allah's apostle said, "Do you wonder at the affection of the mother towards her young? I swear by Him who hath sent me, verily Allah is more loving to His creatures than the mother to these young birds. Return them to the place from which you took them, and let their mother be with them." | |
| 5. | The Prophet said, “An adultress passed by a dog at a well; and the dog was holding out his tongue from thirst, which was near killing him, and the woman drew off her boot, and tied it to the end of her garment, and drew water for the dog, and gave him to drink; and for her compassion, Allah also forgave her for her adultery.” |
|
| 6. | The Prophet said, “Any person who shows cruelty to an animal shows disrespect to Allah.” |
|
| 7. | The Prophet said, “Do not permit animals killed for food to suffer in death. Show even a little compassion to the animals that sustain your life and Allah will show a little compassion upon your day of judgment.” |
|
| 8. | The Prophet said, “The killing of animals for sport is an abomination in the eyes of Allah and is a grave sin.” |
|
| 9. | The Prophet said, “A true Muslim is not permitted to eat meat of any animal cruelly slaughtered.” |
