Title: | Animal care : an Islamic perspective with particular reference to unwanted pets | Authors: | Myat Min | Subject: | Animal welfare Animal rights |
Year: | 2014 | Publisher: | Kuala Lumpur : International Islamic University Malaysia, 2014 | Abstract in English: | Many studies have been conducted on ethics and moralities regarding animals. However, little research has been done on animal care with particular reference to unwanted pets from the Islamic perspective. This study uses a library-based research approach, where data was exclusively sought from books and journals, which are mainly based on the teachings of the Holy Qur'an, Sunnah, and views of Muslim scholars. Numerous scholars around the world have implemented several approaches concerning animal welfare. Some controversial issues on unwanted animals are also discussed from the viewpoints of modern scholars. The Holy Qur'an and the Sunnah provide guidelines on how to treat animals. Thirty five different kinds of animals are mentioned in the Holy Al Qur'an. Several Islamic manuscripts also mention that animals have their own rights and humans are responsible for their welfare. In this thesis, numerous issues concerning unwanted pets such as animal abuse, animal overpopulation, and animal assistant therapy have been discussed from the Islamic viewpoint. It is hoped that the information obtained from this study would be noted and incorporated in making treatment choices and dealing with issues of unwanted pets. This study answers various misunderstanding regarding animal care, with particular focus on the issues of unwanted pets. | Degree Level: | Master | Call Number: | t HV 4708 M663A 2014 | Kullliyah: | International Institute of Islamic Thought and Civilisation | Programme: | Master of Arts (Islamic Science) | URI: | http://studentrepo.iium.edu.my/jspui/handle/123456789/2470 | URL: | https://lib.iium.edu.my/mom/services/mom/document/getFile/YXk9BVGvXAeOjJsE1l5brc6dXtnF8x7k20150603101203933 |
