Allah Made the Animals
Learn about the wonderful animals Allah created for us.
Allah made all the animals! He made the big elephants and the tiny ants. He made the birds that fly in the sky and the fish that swim in the sea. He made cats, dogs, horses, and camels. Allah made animals to help us and to make the world beautiful. Some animals give us food — like cows that give us milk and chickens that give us eggs. Some animals help us work — like horses that carry us and camels that carry our things. Allah wants us to be kind to all animals. The Prophet ﷺ said that a man went to Paradise just because he gave water to a thirsty dog! So always be kind to animals — Allah loves people who are kind to His creation.
