Why muslims hate dogs

Perhaps comprehension is also a challenge for you. But I can compliment you in that your Arabic is probably far better than mine.

What was written about dogs was from tradtion and not religion. The author could not mention one hadith or one name of a sahaba, rather just whims from his yale university intellect. Yet in islam we have many ahadith and mames of sahabis claiming against his argument.

Yet again a university proffessor trying to brainwash the weak and those that dont respect the honest and true words of our sahabas and prophet.

I guess yale does what it does best, that is to discredit islam and prove they have better knowledge and morals than prophets and apostles. But they really respect religion; dont they..

Dog is an example of faithfulness and loyalty. Feed a dog once and he will protect your home till his death but feed humans umpty no of time and they will still remain ungreatful. I am not generalizing my statement but it holds good for majority of us. God never discriminated against his own creation.

These are distorted facts. On the contrary Humans are more impure as they always think of there own vested interest. We potray lions and tiger in limelight and compare them with a warrior or a symbol of great power. Did the humans ever succeed to tame them or were able to win there faithfulness or loyality.

Think about it?? Excellent article. She, being a Algerian Berber, laughed and told me I should just let the dog out the back door and let it go to die on her own.. I was enraged by her lack of sensitivity. I said some things to her that I probably will regret later. But, after reading this article I can understand there is a great cultural difference in how we perceive interact with dogs.

I think, in her culture, dogs are merely tools, working animals, and not worthy of affection. I will probably get fired for my outburst towards her. But, I love my dog much more than I do my job. Did the prophet keep the dog in his life? Thankyou for this information I have always loved dogs, they have always been part of our family In our history they also started for work Not being a Muslim, but an open minded person, I like to read the truth and dislike distorted facts.

This is inclusive of past religions in our family where the church at the time changed things to suit themselves- even about icecream and how it turns women to prostitution! What an absolute joke. Great Article! Some people have quoted Ahadith here, which by majority opinion are Sahih of the highest level. I think an intellectual can decide, one or the other based on evidence. The author loves dogs, which is obvious on reading the article, and therefore the article is emotionally charged and extremely biased.

I completely agree with the preface, that normally Muslims are cruel towards dogs, which is absolutely abhorrent. We ought to love them, treat them with respect but we simply cannot keep them as pets inside our houses. One of such, is the mentioning of the dog in the story of the sleepers of the cave. What is the meaning of bringing up the mention of a dog, whose saliva is considered impure and the very ownership of it will cause the owner to decrease in reward, not to mention that the Angels will not come close to a place where there are dogs present?!

So then, what is the purpose of mentioning this animal? It was his nature and habit to lie down at their door as if guarding them. He was sitting outside the entrance of the cave, because the angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog, as was reported in As-Saheeh, nor do they enter a house in which there is an image, a person in state of ritual impurity or a disbeliever, as was narrated in the Hasan Hadith.

The blessing they enjoyed extended to their dog, so the sleep that overtook them overtook him too. This is the benefit of accompanying good people, and so this dog attained fame and stature. Muslims do have a thing for dogs. Iran, you can own one if your in a house. If you live in a apartment, no way. In , the Mufti of the state of Penang, Dato Wan Salim Wan Mohd Noor, emphasised the importance of benefitting from other schools, and argued that Malaysian worshippers should not consider only the teachings of the Shafi'i school.

He argued the importance of being flexible in practicing Islam. In this way, the conversation — and controversy — around petting dogs is actually about something far bigger. It shows that Muslims continue to assess what Islam means for them, at times drawing from tradition, and at other times challenging existing traditions. The debate over Islamic theology and jurisprudence is vibrant in Muslim societies. Get more stories that go beyond the news cycle with our weekly newsletter.

We appreciate your sharing and thank you for making our viewers understand your religion better. Not all Muslims hate dogs. Many Muslims who hate dogs are simply afraid of dogs because they were taught by their parents to do so. I believe that once they know more about dogs, they will become dog lovers.

A lack of familiarity can easily create fear and hatred. It is just that simple. Misunderstandings between people from different backgrounds often happen. Remember this — there is no religion better than LOVE!
