What harm can a stray dog/cat can possibly bring you? It won’t rob you, deceive you, or intrude on your privacy. All it seeks is something so small yet vital—a piece of bread to satisfy its hunger. If it’s wounded, does it not deserve our care? Have we become so detached from compassion that we turn a blind eye to their suffering?
The Qur'an beautifully illustrates the bond between humans and animals, like the story of the dog that faithfully accompanied the Companions of the Cave (Surah Al-Kahf). This was no coincidence—Allah's message reminds us of the intrinsic worth of every creature He has created. Even our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) exemplified mercy, protecting a mother dog and her puppies during a military expedition.
Acts of kindness towards animals are not just humane; they reflect the depth of our faith. Let us rise to the call of compassion and fulfill our duty to protect and care for these voiceless beings. Together, let’s ensure that kindness wins.
