5: Muezza, Savior of the Prophet Muhammad The Islamic prophet Muhammad always loved cats. His favorite feline of all was
Prophet Muhammad was the embodiment of mercy, he showed compassion to all those around him, family, orphans, friends, strangers and even enemies. He also treated the environment and animals with respect and mercy.
So much so, that one of Prophet Muhammad's companions was known as Abu Hurairah (Father of the Kittens) for his attachment to cats. The Prophet himself was a great cat-lover– Muezza was the name of his favourite cat.
In the Nahj al-Balagha, the Shi'a book of the sayings of Ali, an entire sermon is dedicated to praising peacocks. Bees are highly revered in Islam. The structural genius of a bee is thought as due to divine inspiration. Their product honey is also revered as medicine.
Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) himself was a great cat-lover. Many Muslims believe that Muezza (or Muʿizza; Arabic: معزة) was his favorite cat.
Muslim jinn are usually thought to be benign, Christian and Jewish jinn indifferent unless angered, and pagan jinn evil. Other common characteristics include fear of iron and wolves, generally appearing in desolate or abandoned places, and being stronger and faster than humans.
1) Muezza Cat
This Abyssinian breed of cat is playful, caring, and lovable. They are are kids friendly and can live up to 13 years. It was Prophet Mohammed's favourite.
In Islamic teachings, on the day of reckoning, all creatures will rise up and have justice for any wrong that was done to them, including animals. However, only humans and jinn will be judged on their actions and go on to the afterlife.
Animals with fangs
Predator animals possessing fangs are prohibited (e.g. cats, dogs, bears, lions, wolves). Narrated Abu Tha`laba: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade the eating of the meat of beasts having fangs (canine teeth).
He, therefore, commanded the ant to come over to him and tell him the story of its trip into the belly of the frog. The ant then said: “O! Prophet of the Almighty!
Cat is a pure animal
Anha, from the Prophet PBUH that the Prophet PBUH puts a container close to a cat for it to drink. Then the Prophet PBUH performed ablution using the remaining water in the container.
Ultimately, cats bring lots of blessings and sunnah into the home. Many modern Muslims recognise this and take cues from the Prophet.
The Messenger of Allah said: 'They (cats) are not impure, they are of those who go around among you.'" Narrated Ibn 'Umar (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, "A woman was punished on account of a cat which she held captive till it died. Hence, she entered the Hell-Fire due to (her mistreatment of) the cat.
786 is considered a lucky or holy number. Especially, the significance of this number in Islam is above everything. The number is believed as a numeric form of the Arabic phrase “Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim”, meaning, 'In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful'.
Hazrat Hamza, the lion of Allah.
The Prophet Muhammad once ate egg from ostrich. In Madīnah, the chicken strolled around in the streets. With no doubts, egg from chicken was an important food stuff.
Although many Muslims in other countries do not view touching dogs as forbidden, conservative Islamic groups here say the Shafie school of Islamic jurisprudence that they follow views dogs as unclean and requires the faithful to undergo a ritualistic wash if they come into contact with canines.
Praise be to Allah. It is not permissible to keep and train foxes, wolves and other predators such as lions and tigers, because there is no benefit in that, and because keeping them may lead to great harm, as there is no guarantee that they will not get loose and harm people.
Strangely, even though duck is permitted by Islam, it is not as widely featured in its gastronomic offerings. Arabic recipes written in the medieval times suggest that this dietary pattern was established hundreds of years ago.
Unlike humans who are judged for their good and bad deeds, animals will instead turn to dust when they die. This is confirmed in the narration from Abu Hurairah RA where he said: “Indeed, Allah will assemble all of the creations (on the day of Judgment). (Of which includes) every animal, bird and human.
While not the only livestock acceptable, a narration in Sahih Muslim records that the Prophet Muhammad sought out horned, white rams to sacrifice during Eid al-Adha, as the ram of Abraham and Abel had been.
The humane slaughter of animals is strongly supported in the Islamic tradition. For example, Sahih Muslim (Book 21, Chapter 11, Number 4810) records Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) saying: “Verily Allah has enjoined goodness to everything; so when you kill, kill in a good way and when you slaughter, slaughter in a good way.
One of the Prophet Mohammed's favorite dishes is Tharid, a delicious stew.
Grapes – Fruit of the Gardens
It is also mentioned that ALLAH'S Messenger, NABI MUHAMMED (SAWS) loved grapes and melons.
According to legend, Abu Hurairah's cat saved Muhammad from a snake. The story goes that a snake had crawled into the prophets sleeve so Abu Hurairah and his cat were summoned. Legend has it that the cat requested the snake come out of the sleeve and discuss the terms of its departure.
