Animal's Rights in Islam

This book is an effort to highlight the importance
and treatment of wildlife according to Islamic
injunctions. The need for compiling this work was
felt during a country wide campaign that was
supervised by the author on behalf of the world
society for the protection of animals (WSPA). The
campaign was aimed at assessing and curbing bear
abuses such as bear baiting, dancing etc. across the
country, though the practice is on for centuries in
this part of world. It has brought the brown bear
population to an alarmingly low level. The three
type of wild bears once had profound presence in the
different wilds of Pakistan. Out of them, one is
already extinct while other two are at the verge of
extinction.
A common Muslim may not have the slightest idea that
Islam strictly prohibits unnecessary loss of
wildlife and there are many Ahadith of Prophet
Muhammad (SAW) that highlight the conservation of
this important aspect of nature. This work is hoped
to give at least a basic knowledge to a common
Muslim that how Islam deals with the subject.
This is an effort to make people understand the
importance and rights of animals in the light of
Islamic teachings
