Almighty Allah has created living things and non-livings both from dust. Living things include human beings, plants and animals. Non-living things include books, table, clothes, etc. Almighty Allah has created beautiful animals in this universe. In Islam, Almighty Allah has ordered the entire Muslim Ummah to take great care of animals. pets, animals and Islam have remained in contact as a means of trade and pets since ancient times.
Muslims keep animals as their pets in their homes. Pets, animals and Islam, since ancient times, are interconnected and animals are kept as pets. The animals that are kept as pets may include birds, dogs, hen, rabbits, etc. Allah has also given every animal some rights. They have the right to live in a proper place and have a proper diet. Every Muslim needs to fulfill the rights of animals and pets. Allah has ordered the Muslims to keep them in their homes as though they are their own kids and take care of them in a very nice way.
There are some restrictions regarding pets, animals and Islam. The Quran has allowed human beings to eat the meat of some animals and pets with certain conditions; animals which are halal can be eaten as food. The meat of hens, cows, goats, camels, turkey etc. are eaten all around the globe, but there is a difference in halal and haram. Muslims eats halal food and non-Muslims eat haram food. Non-Muslims eat the meat of an animal which is pork, and it is considered as haram in Islam.
As Quran states that:
“Eat of that over which the name of Allah hath been mentioned”
In Islam, some of the animals are prohibited to eat. Muslims need to eat only those animals which are halal and mentioned in Quran clearly. In Quran, there are many verses regarding pets, animals and Islam. These verses clearly state that Muslims need to enjoy animals and not abuse them. They must treat them very calmly. Allah gives a big reward to those Muslims who treat animals calmly. It is a big gift from Allah to every Muslim. Those Muslims who don’t treat animals they will get punishment from Allah. It is forbidden to beat animals unnecessarily; it is a sin to beat animals without any reason.
As in hadith, it is described that:
“Mercy towards animals is could help you to get closer to God. Allah’s Apostle narrated the following story, “An adulterous 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 she was forgiven for that act. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, “Kindness is a mark of faith and whoever has not kindness has no faith.”
Dogs are the sincere animal and many of the Muslims keep them as a pet in their homes. Man’s favorite animal is the dog. It is a dog by which many of the houses are secured. In Islam, to keep a dog in your homes is halal.
As Prophet (S.W.A) said:
“The creation is a God’s family; for its sustenance is from Him; therefore, the most beloved unto God is the person who do good to God’s family.
