Comments about Dogs in Islam

And everyday we learn something new. Be it scholastic or spiritual. The conventional Muslims in our country strongly believe that dogs are a big no-no and they are put to the level of disgust to pigs. The teachings of Islam where our main source should be from the Holy Quran never said anything that implied dogs are to dirty and are to be kept away from us. There are some very strong points to back this up coming from a good friend’s writings on this. Click here. And I raised a question on touching dogs with dry skin and the more i know. Click here.

I must say I was surprised at how the many things we believed could be fabricated truth.

A little acknowledgement to the person that wrote this doggy entry and opened my eyes, he is a good addition to my circle of acquaintance. He is liberal but thoughtful, resourceful and dares to say what he thinks and believes. Acquaintance is a weak word that I give him but enough to say that I admire how he thinks and hope I will have half of them along the way.

Thank you for your kind words, Donut. Many Muslims fail to remember the first Ayyah that was revealed to Muhammad pbuh
