Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) Kindness to Animals

Islam expects humankind to treat all animals (all living creatures - birds, sea creatures, and insects) with respect and dignity.  Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) continuously advised people to show kindness.

If the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) saw, any animal over-burdened or ill fed he would speak mildly to the owner and say, “Fear God in your treatment of animals.”
