نظرات الإسلام في التعامل مع الحيوانات في عصر النبي صلي الله عليه وسلم

Abstract EN

This study deals with the relationship between Islam as a religion and the animal environment in the Arabian Peninsula in the era of the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him); for being Allah’s creation.

And when Islam came, a new and precise concept was appeared to determine the mechanisms and ways of dealing with this environment and its creatures proceeding from Allah’s saying “There is not an animal (that lives) on the earth, nor a being that flies on its wings, but (forms part of) communities like you” (Surat Al-An’am / 38), and with that Allah has determined the nature of this relationship between the human environment and the animal environment and drew its remarks so as to show its importance; since it was mentioned in the Holy Koran more than one hundred and forty verses and six Surats were named with the names of these animals like: (Al- Baqra, Al-Namil, Al-An’am, Al-Nahil, Al-Feel and Al-Anqabut).

For the greatness of this matter and the wisdom of the Creator in this approach in the Constitution of Islam (The Holy Koran), God has made this animal environment a tribute to the dignity of human creation and to be at his disposal.

So it must to show the relationship of the Prophet(Peace and blessings be upon him) with this environment in everyday life situations that bear all the values of mercy, progress, direction and remembrance to remind Muslims particularly and others in general, so as to create a balanced vision based on mercy to the animal, and this concept doesn’t allow any kind of harshness or absolute interest and doesn’t neglect the human food and living needs.
