Animal Rights in the Conduct and Sayings of Holy Prophet Messenger of Mercy

The central feature of environment is natural life, and animal is one of its main symbols. With regard to the importance of the series of animal and life of the environment, the present paper elaborates on animal rights stressed in the conduct of life and sayings of the holy prophet Messenger of mercy, using a documentary- library method. This essay can contribute to recognizing the status of animal rights in Islam.Since the Holy Prophet (May the blessing and peace of Allah be upon him and his progeny) believes that man is the most noble creature, it seems that recognizing human rights, observing standards of morality and respecting man would be an issue of most importance to the Holy Prophet. The question which is worth considering her is whether animals are instruments which we can treat the way we like or they have some rights, and human beings have some duties towards them.
