Pets in Paradise?

[Nuha38318]

Salam alaikum,

What happens to pets, when they die?

A Sheikh told me, he believes they will turn to dust - is that true? imsad

Can anyone give me evidence from Qur'an and Sunnah?:scared:

 

[Endymion]

According to my personal understanding,the Noble Sheikh is right in saying "They will turn to dust".Actually,animals have no control on their nature,they cant change them selves like we humans do.For example,Lion is a beast,it eats innocent animals so his fate should be burning in the hell.But lion cant change itself in order to go to heaven.He cant start eating fruits or doing something good with other animals.He will remain like that.If a cow is a noble and helpful animal,thats not what she choose for herself,Allah swt create her for that purpose.They all are bound by their nature,they cant change their selves.And if they are not responsible for their actions,would that be justice to burn some in hell and send some in Paradise That is why majority of Ulema's believe that they will turn to dust once again.

As an aside,im also sad to know that my cute cows and naughty goats will turn to dust but obviously,i dont want them to graze all my gardens in Paradise

 

[Amoeba]

So, in paradise there will be NO animals? And by that same logic, no plants either?

Is that correct or is that wrong?

 

[Endymion]

We cant say "No animals".May be there were some cute birds and plants for sure.I read about olives and dates and some other fruits in Quran.And the ayah said they will be hanging in the trees

 

[Amoeba]

Mmmmm I don't get it, I thought they all turn to dust?

For example,Lion is a beast,it eats innocent animals so his fate should be burning in the hell.But lion cant change itself in order to go to heaven.He cant start eating fruits or doing something good with other animals.

We eat innocent animals too!

I don't think that is a valid conclusion. Just because the animals from this world won't be going into paradise, doesn't mean there won't be other creatures there.... things we've never seen before or even creatures we have seen but enhanced/changed. Allah knows best.

 

[Beardo]

As far as plants are concerned, you get a tree in Jannah when you say Subhanallah and Alhamdulillah etc.

I heard animals just give account of if any human wronged them or favored them, then get turned to dust.

Anyhow, please make dua I go to Jannah straightaway without any accountability. I want to take a ride on Mahmud, my flying Jannati elephant. He is sooo cool. He has wings. And it's sort of like a roller coaster. But he can also give pleasure rides. Anyway, it's hard to describe on this forum. Actually, on this world. I'll show you guys up there insha-Allah, when we're all having our IslamicBoard Jannati reunion.

May Allah make it come true. Ameen!!

 

[Alpha Dude]

Ameen. It's a lovely idea. InshaAllah we all make it there. I'd love to have the opportunity to cyberbully Rashad in Jannah.

Haven't you already done enough to satisfy both worlds? =___=

On the bright side, I'll have protection against zAk attacks, FULL administration power as head admin, and best of all: MY rules. Which means, ANYONE and EVERYONE can SPAM!

for the pet question
(b) It was narrated from Sulaymaan ibn Buraydah from his father that a man asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), “O Messenger of Allaah, will there be horses in Paradise?” He said, “If Allaah admits you to Paradise, you will not wish that you could be carried on a horse of red rubies which will fly wherever you want in Paradise, but that will happen.” And another man asked him, “O Messenger of Allaah, will there be camels in Paradise?” but he did not say something like he had said to his companion. He said, “If Allaah admits you to Paradise, you will have therein whatever your heart desires and will delight your eyes.”
Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 2543. Classd as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Targheeb, 3/522.

so i guess they turn to dust but you can see them in paradies inshallah

So, in paradise there will be NO animals? And by that same logic, no plants either? Is that correct or is that wrong?

Will there be animals in Al-Jannat?.



Praise be to Allaah.
The animals that will be in Paradise according to the reports are of three types:
1 – Specific animals which it is said will themselves be in Paradise, such as the dog of the people of the Cave and the she-camel of Saalih (peace be upon him). There are no saheeh reports concerning them.
2 – Those which are mentioned in the Qur’aan and Sunnah, which Allaah has prepared for the believers in Paradise, whether they are mentioned in specific terms, such as the birds of which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And with the flesh of fowls that they desire”
[al-Waaqi’ah 56:21]
or mentioned in general terms, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And We shall provide them with fruit and meat such as they desire”
[al-Toor 52:22]
Another example is the bull which Allaah has prepared as food for the people of Paradise, as was narrated from Thawbaan the freed slave of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), who said: “I was standing by the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) when one of the Jewish rabbis came and said, ‘Peace be upon you, O Muhammad,’ and I pushed him back so hard that he nearly fell over… He (the Jew) said: ‘What would be their food after this?’ He (the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)) said: ‘A bull which was fed in the different quarters of Paradise would be
slaughtered for them’…” Narrated by Muslim, 315.
3 – Those animals which have been specifically mentioned in the saheeh Sunnah, which will be in Paradise. These include:
(a) It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Pray in the sheep pens and wipe their dust (raghaam), for they are among the animals of Paradise.”
Narrated by al-Bayhaqi, 2/449; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’, 3789.
Raghaam means dust (as translated here). The word has also been narrated as ra’aam, which refers to the mucus that comes from the sheep’s nose. What is meant is to wipe the dust from it, or wipe away what comes from its nose, so as to look after it and take care of it. This was the view of al-Manaawi in Fayd al-Qadeer.
(b) It was narrated that Abu Mas’ood al-Ansaari said: A man brought a bridled she-camel and said, “This is for the sake of Allaah.” The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “You will have seven hundred she-camels in return on the Day of Resurrection, each of them bridled.” Narrated by Muslim, 1892.
Al-Nawawi said: What is meant by makhtoomah (bridled) is that it has a khitaam (bridle) on it, which is like a halter. And it was said that that it may be understood as meaning that he will have the reward of giving seven hundred she-camels, or it may be understood as it appears to be, and that he will have seven hundred she-camels in Paradise, each of them bridled, and he will be able to ride them wherever he wants, for pleasure, as was narrated concerning the horses and camels (nujab) of Paradise. This interpretation is more clear. And Allaah knows best.
Sharh al-Nawawi, 13/38.

The ahaadeeth about the camels and horses to which al-Nawawi referred are as follows ​

(a) It was narrated from Abu Ayyoob that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The people of Paradise will visit one another on white camels as if they are rubies, and there are no animals in Paradise apart from camels and birds.”
Narrated by al-Tabaraani in al-Kabeer, 4/179.
Al-Haythami said: This was narrated by al-Tabaraani. Its isnaad includes Jaabir ibn Nooh who is da’eef (weak). Majma’ al-Zawaa’id, 10/413. It was also classed as da’eef by al-Albaani in Da’eef al-Jaami’, 1833.
(b) It was narrated from Sulaymaan ibn Buraydah from his father that a man asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), “O Messenger of Allaah, will there be horses in Paradise?” He said, “If Allaah admits you to Paradise, you will not wish that you could be carried on a horse of red rubies which will fly wherever you want in Paradise, but that will happen.” And another man asked him, “O Messenger of Allaah, will there be camels in Paradise?” but he did not say something like he had said to his companion. He said, “If Allaah admits you to Paradise, you will have therein whatever your heart desires and will delight your eyes.”
Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 2543. Classd as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Targheeb, 3/522.
A similar report was also narrated by Abu Ayyoob from al-Tirmidhi, 2544; and also classed as saheeh by al-Albaani, 3/423.
And it was narrated in saheeh ahaadeeth that the souls of the martyrs are in the crops of birds in Paradise which fly wherever they want.
It should be noted that the birds, horses and camels in Paradise are not the same as those in this world; they resemble them in name only. What they are really like is known only to Allaah. But we know that they are extremely beautiful, because they are one of the delights that Allaah has prepared for His close friends in Paradise. This was indicated by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in the hadeeth quoted above, in which it says that the horses of Paradise are of red rubies, and will fly with their rider wherever he wants.

We ask Allaah to bless us and admit us to Paradise by His mercy, for He is the Most Generous.

The way lion do ^o)


Mila.
Jazakallahu Khairan for the informative post sis

 

[Nuha38318]

JazakhAllah kheir sister Mila for your effort *hug* I love Islam Q&A too *hehe* But I cannot find a fatwa there regarding pets, I mean, cats for instance. So I wonder, what the basis is, that in Islam it is said that those animals, which are so beloved to us, will turn to dust...

I mean Abu Huraira is called like that because of his cats, does that mean, he will never again see his beloved cats?

It is not, that I don't believe it, but as a revert coming from "Christianity" I know that the people say, that also the animals will go to heaven, that's why I am so astonished.

And .... what does "OLIVE YOU!" mean? *lol*

 

[Perseveranze]

Asalaamu Alaikum,

Allah(swt) Knows, but atleast the Quran clearly mentions you get to see your loved one's Inshallah
