Minor Sins Islamic Story

The prophet's justice and mercy towards nature

On reading Prophet Mohummed Hadiths regarding his justice and mercy towards animal life and environment one ,at once, finds himself oneself saying " He is the pioneer of establishing ecology ethics .

Francesca De Chatel, an anthropologist of Islamic culture and afreelance writer and journalist from theNetherlands, says " The idea of Muhammad as a pioneer of environmentalism will initially strike many as strange. Indeed, the term "environmentalist" and related concepts like "ecology," "environmental awareness," and "sustainability" are modern-day inventions, terms that were formulated in the face of the growing concerns about the contemporary state of the natural world around us. And yet a closer reading of the Hadith, the body of work that recounts significant events in Muhammad's life, reveals that he was a staunch advocate of environmental protection. One could say he was an "environmentalist before his time," a pioneer in the domain of conservation, sustainable development, and resource management, and one who constantly sought to maintain a harmonious balancebetween man and nature. Based pm accounts of his life and deeds, we can read that Muhammad had a profound respect for the fauna and flora, as well as an almost visceral connection to the four elements — earth, water, fire, and air. Muhammad was a strong proponent of the sustainable use and cultivation of land and water, proper treatment of animals, plants and birds, and the equal rights of users. "

prophet Mohummed attitude ,that is replete with justice , mercy and love stems from the following verse " Behold, thy Lord said to the angels: I will create a vicegerent on earth. They said: With thou place therein one who will make Mischief therein and shed blood?" ( Al-Bakra :30). His approach ,thus , is derived from the belief that all creatures belong to God, and not to man, and to assume that non-human animals and plants exist to benefit man leads to environmental destruction and misuse. If, as in Islamic belief, the component parts of nature are in continuous praise to God, human destruction of these parts prevents the earth's natural and subtle means for praising God.

God says in the Holy Quran what means " The seven heavens and the earth, and all beings therein, declare his glory: there is not a thing but celebrates his praise; and yet ye understand not how they declare his glory verily he is oft forbearing, most forgiving" ( Al-Israa : 44)

The Qu'ran acknowledges that humans are not the only creature to walk the earth. Muhammad was once asked whether there would be a reward for those who show charity to nature and animals. He replied, "for charity shown to each creature with a wet heart, there is a reward." He ordered us to feed animals and not to let then hungry . Once the Prophet passed by an emaciated camel due to hunger, he said: Fear God in regards to these animals who can not speak their will. If you ride them, treat them accordingly (by making them strong and fit for that), and if you eat them, treat them accordingly (by making them fat and healthy). (Abu Dawud) .

He ordered us not to torture animals.

The Prophet of Mercy passed by an animal branded on his face. He said, Has it not reached you that I have cursed the one who brands an animals face or hits it on its face? The Prophet of Mercy advised his wife to treat an unruly camel that she was riding kindly. Making animals fight one another for entertainment was also forbidden by the Prophet.

When Ibn Umar, one of the companions of Prophet Muhammad saw some people practicing archery using a hen as a target, he said:

The Prophet cursed anyone who made a living thing into a target (for practice).

The Prophet Muhammad also said:

Whoever kills a bird or anything else without its due right, God would ask him about it. It was said: O Messenger of God! What is its due right? He said: To kill it for foodand do not sever its head, and throw it! (Targheeb)

The Prophet (peace and Blessings upon him) said that he who is kind and merciful towards animals, Allah will be kind and merciful towards him.

Even when Killing an animal for food, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings upon him) informed us to sharpen the knife well before cutting the throat of the animal, and to kill it quickly, and in a manner least distressing to the animal. Also that we should never kill an animal for food in front of another animal, so as not to cause distress to the other animal.

Again, it is forbidden in Islam to kill an animal for mere play. Islam has forbidden wastage of animals and plants in peacetime and in war time

@rabidchevy No torture as long as you seek Allah forgiveness (istighfar) as if u keep to istighfar , you will have a solution to every problem, care,sadness & you will have money from unexpected sources .No major sin with istighfar & no minor sin with insistence.Allah gets down to lower sky each night asking if there was a repentent or one in need to respond to him.The repentent is like sinless.deeds r judged by fins & intentions.no repentence when sun rises from west & you die .Hadiths
