SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES

Qur'an 6:38 · 16:5–8 · 17:44 · 22:18 · 24:45

The Qur'an describes animals as communities, signs, and created life; hadith reports strengthen the ethical dimension of mercy toward them.

WHAT IS CONFIRMED

WHERE CERTAINTY ENDS

Scripture does not provide a modern taxonomy, ecological model, or full account of animal consciousness.

The moral and theological claims are textual; biological details should remain descriptive and modest.
