7) Why do some people create Associations all over the world in order to protect the
animals? Brigitte Bardot is a French lady who fought against Muslims' practice of
animals sacrifice. She thinks the killing of thousand of animals is useless and cruel
during the ceremony of the end of Zul-Hijjah! Do you agree with Brigitte Bardot?
Explain:
In one way, she is right because ------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But, we, as Muslims, we think that --------------------------------------------------------

8)
Some people think animals are better than men and men are worse than animals.

ECOLOGY AND THE HAADITHS:
LOVE
Unlike the Qur'an that is a transcription of the words of Allah ta'alah, the haadiths explain what
our prophet (Peace be upon him) said and did during his lifetime. Prophet Muhammad (Peace and
Allah’s Blessings be upon him) was a model for all the Muslims and the humanity because he
was constantly inspired by Allah.
We can learn many things in the Haadiths that are not mentioned in the Qur'an hence completing
the Noble Book. Here is one example:
It is significant to know that rivers and fruit trees are abundant in the gardens of Jennah
(Paradise). Even if plants grow rapidly and in plenty in the Heavens, they are different from the
plants we know on earth. Men are not required to plant and harvest in the gardens of Eden, but
the Sunnah tells us the story of a farmer who will ask a special favor from our Lord.

Narrated by
Abu Huraira:
(Al Bukhari: Volume 9, book 93, number 610)
Once the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him)
was preaching while a Bedouin was sitting there.
The Prophet said, "A man from among the people of
Paradise will request Allah to allow him to cultivate the land.
Allah will say to him, 'Haven't you got whatever you desire?'
He will reply, 'yes, but I like to cultivate the land.’ (Allah will
permit him and) he will sow the seeds, and within seconds the
plants will grow and ripen and (the yield) will be harvested
and piled in heaps like mountains. On that Allah will say (to
him), ‘Take, here you are, O son of Adam, for nothing satisfies
you.'”On that the Bedouin said, "O Allah's Apostle! Such
man must be either from Quraish or from Ansar, for they are
farmers while we are not." On that Allah's Apostle smiled.
What are the differences between plants on earth and the plants in Paradise?
