I've a question, where are the animals going when they die(Their souls)? i'm struggling with this question for a while so i hope someone can answer me Insha'Allah
How will the accounting of animals take place in the Hereafter?
......Even though animals are creatures that have no responsibilities, they will settle their accounts with one another. As a matter of fact, in a hadith, the Prophet states that no injustice will remain unrequited in the hereafter by saying: “Every right holder will be given his right. Even hornless sheep’s right will be taken from the horned sheep through retaliation.”
According to the statement of hadith scholars, an ant will obtain its right from other ants. Our Prophet (pbuh) said, “On the Day of Judgment, the justice of Allah will be applied so comprehensively that retaliation will be applied between the hornless sheep and the horned sheep, and between an ant and other ants.”
(See Majmau’z-zawaid, 10/352; Elmalılı Hamdi Yazır. Hak Dini Kur'an Dili, 8:5599)
Badiuzzaman Said Nursi, explains the issue as follows:
“Although their bodies perish, among animals whose spirits are immortal there is reward and punishment in a manner appropriate for them in an eternal realm.” (Lem’alar:The Flashes)
Yes, the spirit of animals will remain eternally; the Almighty Allah will protect their spirits. However, as the spirit is under His will and command, only Allah knows how they will be protected.
Well i have just read about those animals who die on EId-ul-azha they are send directly to paradise before one drop touches the ground. remaining animals are all innocent so they must go in Paradise but may be ALLAH have made same criteria for them as well.
