Animal's Rights in Islam: Islam and Animal's Rights Fakhar-i-abbas

This book is an effort to highlight the importance and treatment of wildlife according to Islamic injunctions. The need for compiling this work was felt during a country wide campaign that was supervised by the author on behalf of the world society for the protection of animals (WSPA). The campaign was aimed at assessing and curbing bear abuses such as bear baiting, dancing etc. across the country, though the practice is on for centuries in this part of world. It has brought the brown bear population to an alarmingly low level. The three type of wild bears once had profound presence in the different wilds of Pakistan. Out of them, one is already extinct while other two are at the verge of extinction. A common Muslim may not have the slightest idea that Islam strictly prohibits unnecessary loss of wildlife and there are many Ahadith of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) that highlight the conservation of this important aspect of nature. This work is hoped to give at least a basic knowledge to a common Muslim that how Islam deals with the subject. This is an effort to make people understand the importance and rights of animals in the light of Islamic teachings
