*_THE RIGHTS OF ANIMALS IN ISLAM_*. BismilLah.
Islam upholds the rights of animals to kind treatment and justice the same as it does for human beings. Animals should not be abused or taken for granted. ALLAH has informed us that the animals are communities like human beings and have similar rights.
ALLAH says:
وَمَا مِن دَابَّةٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا طَائِرٍ يَطِيرُ بِجَنَاحَيْهِ إِلَّا أُمَمٌ أَمْثَالُكُم
There is no creature on the earth or bird that flies with its wings but that they are communities like you. Qur'an 6:38.
As we are held responsible for our behavior towards other people, so are we held responsible for our behavior towards animals.
On the Day of Judgment, ALLAH will restore the rights of every creature including the animals. If we had violated the rights of an animal in the world, then ALLAH will take retribution on their behalf in the Hereafter.
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of ALLAH, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
لَتُؤَدُّنَّ الْحُقُوقَ إِلَى أَهْلِهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حَتَّى يُقَادَ لِلشَّاةِ الْجَلْحَاءِ مِنْ الشَّاةِ الْقَرْنَاءِ
The rights of everyone will be restored on the Day of Resurrection until justice is fulfilled, even between the hornless sheep and the horned sheep. Saheeh Muslim 2582.
*_May ALLAH accept our little efforts and forgive our mistakes_*. Aameen.
