LOVING ALL OF ALLAH’S CREATIONS
It is a natural consequence of having true love for Allah
Ta’alah that we love all of His creations, including animals, solely because
they are also Allah’s creations. That is why Shariah has set clear rules that
we should be kind to animals and should not be cruel to them. In Sahih of
Bukhari it is narrated that there was a prostitute who once saw a dog licking
soil because of excessive thirst. There was a well nearby. She took off her
leather sock, filled it with water from the well, and let the dog drink it.
Allah Ta’alah liked this act so much that He forgave all her sins because she
had shown kindness to the dog and Allah Ta’alah is more deserving of showing kindness
to all His creations. Therefore, one should love all of Allah’s creations
including animals.
