Status Of Animals in The Light Of Holy Quran

Abstract

Allah Almighty has created countless different types of creatures in the universe. Only God knows the wisdom behind the creation of many bloodthirsty and innocent animals in the world. However, it has now been discovered that certain parts of animal meat are beneficial for human organs. Living with them and sitting in their company also affects humans. Knowing and reading about animals is an interesting process that takes humans on a journey to a new world. The Quran not only serves as a code of life. The Quran extensively describes natural phenomena and provides arguments for the oneness of Allah in various ways, including the detailed mention of animals such as camels, donkeys, elephants, ants, crows, hoopoes, fish, goats, bees, spiders, horses, etc. For instance, the Quran mentions the ant during the time of Prophet Solomon. highlighting that ants can hear sounds from miles away and communicate messages to other ants, indicating their hearing and speaking capabilities. This article will also discuss various birds mentioned in the Quran. Allah's final message to humanity, preserved in the Quran until the Day of Judgment, contains knowledge of all truths that will unfold until the end of time.
