.... example: “the stories of Muezza, the Prophet Muhammad’s SAWA favourite cat: The most famous story about Muezza recounts how the call to prayer was given, and as Prophet Mohammed SAWA went to put on one of his robes, he found his cat sleeping on one of the sleeves. Rather than disturbing the cat, he cut off the sleeve and let him sleep. When he returned, Muezza awoke and bowed down to Prophet Muhammad SAWA and in return he stroked him three times. It is also believed that when Prophet MuhammadSAWA gave sermons within his household he would often hold Muezza in his lap”.

"It is related that after the death of the great Sufi Master al-Shibli, a friend saw him in a dream. The friend asked him what God had done with him, to which al-Shibli replied, “God placed me before Him and asked if I knew why He had forgiven my sins. I said that it might be because of the good works I had done, the prayers I had performed, my fasting and pilgrimage, my having associated with pious people and my journeying in search of knowledge. God replied, “O Shibli, these were not the reasons. Do you remember when you were walking in the lanes of Baghdad and you found a small cat made weak by the cold and ice, and out of pity you took it and put in inside a fur you were wearing so as to protect it from the pains of the cold? Because of the mercy you showed that cat, I have had mercy on you.”

I have never heard about Muezza. Thank you for the story.

Regarding Mohammed SAWAS killng of the dogs, that was related to a rabies outbreak.

I think dogs are wonderful creatures, and they can be trained to do amazing feats. The "natural" male dogs can, and often do act very rude, if you know what I mean. I like dogs and sometimes pet them. I carry treats for them, but I wouldn´t want to get too close to them.

This is because of their rudeness. Maybe that is one of the traits that makes them undesirable as house animals. 

However, I have a friend who is blind and has a female guide dog. That dog is wonderful. Dogs are trained for many functions, they can even smell cancer, and have been used to find cancer.

The Quran mentions dogs twice, including the permission to eat meat that has been carried by hunting dogs. In another verse, a group of "believers" and their dog escape their persecutors by hiding in a cave, where they fall asleep. "And their dog stretched his forelegs across the threshold," the verse finishes.

"This tender description of the dog guarding the cave makes it clear that the animal is good company for believers," Ingrid Mattson, chair of the Islamic studies program at Huron University College, wrote last December in a column for The Huffington Post.

While many Muslims believe scripture approves canine companions, many also believe scripture discourages Muslims from keeping dogs in their homes. This belief is partly based on the Quranic verse describing the dog at the threshold of the cave, as well as a story in which the angel Gabriel breaks a rendezvous with the Prophet Muhammad because a puppy had wandered into Muhammad´s home.

"We angels do not enter a home in which there is a dog or a picture," Gabriel tells the prophet.

There are also a few hadith, or sayings attributed to Muhammad, that are hostile toward dogs, including a couple in which he orders the killings of dogs. But Islamic scholars and other Muslims say that many hadith are fabricated or hard to verify, including those about dogs. And because these hadith contradict the apparent divine sanction for dogs in the Quran, these stories should not be trusted.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dogs are used in police force and they are very handy at sniffing Nothing wrong to use them for useful purposes.

This woman was saved by a stray dog...amazing story. How did the untrained dog know what and how to do what it did?

maybe he was hungry and knew humans can get him food? If I was hungry in the forest and there was a cook with me I would drag them to where they could get me food

All parakeets my mother feeded died in a short period of time. I was a child and I almost get traumatised when I saw one of them hanging upside down like a bat. It was dead We dont feed parakeets anymore.

I guess if it is dead you do not need to feed.
