The prophet’s mercy to animals, Even the bird found a place in his heart
The prophet’s heart would be shaken to its very foundations if he saw a distressed bird that lost its babies. A wounded animal, a hungry animal, a sick animal , insects burnt, water being polluted moved his heart, too, and stirred his compassion, yet on his shoulder he onus of imparting God’s message to the whole of the world. How great is such a prophet!
How miraculous is this prophet!
He is the message of heavens to the earth, the message of mercy, the exemplary to be followed. God says in the Holy Quran what means; “you have in the Messenger of Allah an excellent exemplar for him who hopes in Allah and the latter day and remembers Allah much. (21)
Prophet Muhammad called not to kill even a frog and he said, “Its croaking is tasbeeh (praising God).” Always with this litany was capped his words” Those who are not merciful will not find mercy( on the part of God).”
Such is his mercy that inspired his followers such as Um’ar ibn Al-Kahtab to the extent that he, too, was so worried if an animal was stumbled in the far east or west and feared that he would be held responsible for it before his Lord; he says” I fear that If an animal is stumbled in the far east or west that I will be held accountable before my Lord on the Day of Judgment.”
This is Mohammed, who rebuked the tyrannies of his times including emperors, notwithstanding he would be moved for a bird that lost its babies.
It is narrated that someone took two chicks of a bird (hamra), which came in panic searching for its chicks. Prophet Muhammad (Peace and blessings be upon him and his house) then asked, “Who has distressed it by taking its chicks?” Then he asked them to return the chicks.
Perhaps people lavish animals with their care because of their beauty unmindful of their being entities created by God, The case is different in Islam. The following Hadith lays credence to this fact. It is narrated that the prophet once passed by a burned out anthill. When the Prophet saw it he asked, “Who has burned it?” When he was informed of who had done it, he said, “Only the Lord of Fire has the right to punish with fire.” Is there any beauty in ants?!
His mercy was not only confined to caring about animals but it goes even more, Seeing a hungry animal would move his heart so much to the extent that he would go to its owner rebuking him for not feeding his animal.
Once the Prophet passed by a camel that was so emaciated its back was one with its abdomen. Upon that, the Prophet said, “Fear Allah with regard to livestock. Ride them in a fitting way and eat them when they are in good condition.”
In his heart, everything has a portion, the distressed among people would go to him to ease their hearts even the distressed animals would do the same thing. He once entered the garden of man from the Ansar (Muslims of Madinah) and there was a camel. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his house) saw the camel it froze and its eyes started watering. Then the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his house) came to it and rubbed its ears so it calmed down. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his house) said, “Who is the owner of this camel? Whose camel is this?” A young man from the Ansar told him (peace and blessings be upon him and his house),”O Messenger of Allah, it belongs to me.” Then he told him (peace and blessings be upon him and his house), “Do you not fear Allah with regard to this beast which Allah has let you own? It complained to me that you starve it and tire it by overworking it and using it beyond its capacity.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaClr9qEOAI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9Bx80d-eSU
My dear brother
God created the creatures
We learned through the Holy Qur'an and the Hadith
1_ There are creatures in the service of human farce such as cow, buffalo, horse and donkey, birds (chicken and ducks And so on ..)
God says in the Holy Qur'an 8. And (He has created) horses, mules and donkeys, for you to ride and as an adornment. And He creates (other) things of which you have no knowledge.
2 - There are no creatures in the service of man and should be killed because they cause serious harm to humans
Such as talk of 'Aa'ishah said: The Messenger of Allah peace be upon him: «Five of the animals
Raven - Mice - Alhaddeeh - Dog Alakor – Scorpio
And similar to them
Like a snake And so on
is a consensus among scientists
. Should be killed, whether in Mecca during the pilgrimage, or normal times, in any place
\\
Allah Almighty created animals for many rule .. The first is to serve man in his life, and then to work the natural balance In the ground ... And others
142. And of the cattle (are some) for burden (like camels etc.) and (some are) small (unable to carry burden like sheep, goats etc. for food, meat, milk, wool etc.). Eat of what Allah has provided for you, and follow not the footsteps of Shaitan (Satan). Surely he is to you an open enemy.
5. And the cattle, He has created them for you; in them there is warmth (warm clothing), and numerous benefits, and of them you eat.
66. And verily! In the cattle, there is a lesson for you. We give you to drink of that which is in their bellies, from between excretions and blood, pure milk; palatable to the drinkers.
80. And Allah has made for you in your homes an abode, and made for you out of the hides of the cattle (tents for) dwelling, which you find so light (and handy) when you travel and when you stay (in your travels), and of their wool, fur, and hair (sheep wool, camel fur, and goat hair), a furnishing and articles of convenience (e.g. carpets, blankets, etc.), a comfort for a while
68. And your Lord inspired the bee, saying: "Take you habitations in the mountains and in the trees and in what they erect.
69. "Then, eat of all fruits, and follow the ways of your Lord made easy (for you)." There comes forth from their bellies, a drink of varying colour wherein is healing for men. Verily, in this is indeed a sign for people who think
14. And He it is Who has subjected the sea (to you), that you eat thereof fresh tender meat (i.e. fish), and that you bring forth out of it ornaments to wear. And you see the ships ploughing through it, that you may seek (thus) of His Bounty (by transporting the goods from place to place) and that you may be grateful.
8. And (He has created) horses, mules and donkeys, for you to ride and as an adornment. And He creates (other) things of which you have no knowledge
and then to the work of the natural balance in the soil ... and others ...
.There are forests and deserts and remote areas and tropical
.
Man do not live in it
Man kills animals that live around him, which pose a threat to human life
But
Not search for them all over the world and kill them.
Therefore
There is no prejudice to the natural balance and defects in creation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdViBmBlgWE

Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination.

Taught to him by one intense in strength -
Narrated Jabir bin Samura (radiallahu anhu): A man asked the Prophet (salallahu alayhi wassalam), “Should I perform ablution after eating mutton?” He replied, “If you wish so”, he then asked, “Should I perform ablution after eating camel meat?” He (salallahu alayhi wassalam) said: “Yes”. [Reported by Muslim
It was narrated that Jabir bin Abdullah (radi Allahu anhu) said: "The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) sent us, three hundred men, carrying our provisions on our necks. Our provisions ran out until there would be for (every) man among us one date (a day)." Then it was said, "O Abu Abdullah, how can one date satisfy a man?" He replied, "When we no longer had it, we realized how much it was worth. Then we came to the sea and found a whale that had been thrown up by the sea, and we ate from it for eighteen days." [Ibn Majah - graded sahih]
This hadith shows to us the devotion with which the Prophet's Sahabah (radi Allahu anhum) carried out Jihad. They continued in all circumstances, even when they did not have mounts to ride, or food to eat.
The second thing that we learn from this hadith is that dead fish are lawful to eat. Fish do not have to be slaughtered while alive, as some deviant sects believe. The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said of the sea, "Its water is pure and its dead are permissible."
Finally, this hadith shows us how Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) provides from unexpected quarters. This is true of rizq/provision in general for everybody. However, mujahideen are blessed with even stranger and more unique favours from Allah (subhana wa ta’ala). It is not uncommon for Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) to provide them with miracles. When miracles happen for prophets they are called mujizaat; when miracles happen for mujahideen they are called karaamaat. Karaamaat happened for the mujahideen of the earlier generations and they happen for mujahideen today as well.
The whale, that Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) provided Jabir bin Abdullah’s expedition with, was so big that 300 men ate from it for 18 days and then took its dried meat back with them to Madina. Since this was special provision from Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) also asked for some of this dried meat, to partake of Allah’s unique favour on the mujahideen. The cavity of one of the eyes of this whale was so big that thirteen men could sit together in it. The largest camel that they had, fully saddled, could pass under one of the bones of its ribs without touching the rib.

It is my sincere hope that the other nations of the world will follow in Costa Rica's footsteps.
\\\\
Given what we have already discussed, I consider this a wholesome development. Romania follows in the footsteps of Costa Rica (to a certain extent).
\\\\
Oh, yes, animals understand far more than we think. They too have feelings for each other ... and for us.
In the Holy Qur'an, doesn't it say, animals, too, have their communities?
\\\\
I read your post Love and mercy over and over and get not tired, it's lovely
\\\
Excellent and thank you. I recall the injunction in the Holy Qur'an stating that you must feed your animals before you feed yourself. An intelligent and selfless thing to do.
\\\
I had no idea Muhammad did/said any of that about animals. Interesting
Someone told me
Thank you so much. Prophet Mohamed must have been a wonderful person. At home we are also great animal lovers and care for their wellness. We have an adopted cat, he's very cute and intelligent: opens the doors, knows what there is in the fridge, knows if you are sad or happy, knows the exact time when my husband comes back from work and waits impatiently at the door.
I come from a christian family in middle /south Europe and like my ancestors we don't keep dogs at home. That is something perhaps more modern influenced by the elite classes where princesses used to have "pets". I don't agree with having other type of animals at home and in general I have other ideas about domestication of animals. They should have much more freedom and respect and our relation with them should be more like complementary. I think humans "use" animals and we don't give them much in exchange. Many are dissappearing. Look at how many reports there are about whales, dolphins and many other creatures are stranded on beaches all around the world. Or look at the last reports about gorillas and other animals on the edge of extintion.
We discovered that the domestic animal food industry has many dark sides, that made us change about the diet for our cat and it made us understand why so many dogs and cats are having tumours in Europe, Northamerica, Japan,...:
Thank you for the Dr.Zakir Naik links. He's a very intelligent person.

I once was given two free birds in a cage. I had them a little while, and felt really bad that they were in that cage. So I took them outside one sunny afternoon, and opened the door of their cage.
The male, came out and flew to a high tree branch and waited there calling out. Princess, the female came out, but instead of flying off right away, followed me around the yard as if saying goodbye to me, and I told her she could be free now and fly away, and finally she took off and flew to her friend waiting there in the tree She was so cute.
