One of Prophet Muhammad’s companions narrates,
“We were on a journey and during the Prophet’s absence, we saw a bird with its two chicks; we took them. The mother bird was circling above us in the air, beating its wings in grief. When Prophet Muhammad returned he said, “Who has hurt the feelings of this bird by taking its chicks? Return them to her.”
All living creatures were put on this earth by God for our benefit. They are not at the same level as
human beings but neither should they be treated cruelly. It is humankind’s responsibility to see that they have food, water, and shelter from the elements.
