Animals
Today many
animal species are becoming extinct.
Other animals stray abandoned and hungry
in the streets. Taken as a whole,
therefore, it cannot be said that we
treat animals well and carry out our
duties towards them. In my view, one of
the most important reasons for this is
our indifference towards Islamic values.
For Islam regulates not only relations
between individuals and between
individuals and society and the state,
it also regulates relations between man
and nature and man and the environment.
A natural consequence of this is that
man is answerable to God for his
attitude and actions towards nature and
animals.
