Children find animals fascinating. Not only are animals amazing manifestations of our Creator’s intelligence and ability, they are also a mercy to us because Allah (SWT) made them for the benefit of humankind. These passages invite us to marvel at our Lord’s creation, and explain animals’ relationships to human beings. Our first story, “Skunk in the Backyard,” teaches that by appreciating all the living things Allah (SWT) has created, we can better appreciate our Creator. In His divine system and design of the world, there are lessons for us. We are told, “...in your creation and in the spreading of the animals are signs for those who possess firm faith” (45:4). Therefore, learning about and reflecting upon the creatures around us can help us become stronger Muslims. Our second lesson is that we must treat animals with respect and kindness. They exist for the benefit of human beings, but must not be abused. Even if an animal is subservient to us, it still means we need to treat it with fairness. (Source: Noor Kids)
