Animals in Islam

Animals in Islam is a powerful exploration of the sacred relationship between humans and animals through the lens of Islamic theology, history, and ethics. Drawing from the Qur'an, prophetic traditions, classical scholarship, and lived Muslim practices, this book uncovers a rich legacy of compassion, responsibility, and spiritual kinship with all living beings. Each chapter invites readers to rediscover the moral vision of Islam-a vision in which animals are not mere resources, but sentient creations of God, deserving of mercy, dignity, and care.
From the Prophet Muhammad's gentle treatment of animals to the ecological wisdom of Islamic environmental ethics, this book challenges modern readers to align their choices with values deeply rooted in faith. Animals in Islam offers not only a rediscovery of forgotten teachings but a roadmap for living with integrity, mercy, and awe in a world shared with the voiceless.
