It is recorded in the history of ancient times that like us,
these animals were also human beings, these people
who today you see as animals, yesterday, like our humans,
these animals were also human beings and
used to farm and run shops. But all this was
before they rejected the teachings of prophets
and messengers, became disbelievers towards God;
persecuting prophets too until finally exiling them.
This continued for an unknown length of time
until one day when the Prophets sought out
ways to appease their gods; desperate prayers
pleading for mercy with no hope left which led
them to ask Allah if He could give up punishing
them - knowing it wouldn't be seen appropriate
if He did so anyway. And then Allah granted
this request in return for some favour or
other but only after each group's punishment was decreed.
Allah is addressing man
In the Qur'an, I swear by the beautiful
fig tree and by the olive trees that Allah has
gifted me with- both gifts which symbolize
eternal life. In doing so, He has also made us -
humans - His favorite beings for we are
different from any other living thing on this Earth;
including animals who can only experience a
limited amount of sensory stimulation.
It's because Allah wants us to feel fulfilled here.
Yes it is true there are things to be done but please
don't disobey him, fight among yourselves
or mistreat anyone else out of spite.
You all know what Allah would want you to do,
so why would you oppose him?
Informed
If you choose to turn away from my orders,
and commit wrongs against the prophets and
messengers then prepare for the consequences.
This is what the Lord of all Creation promises you.
I shall show no mercy upon those who deserve it -
nor shall they escape either. So beware! You break
your word often enough so how can I trust anyone else?
Alas, there are many among you who betrayed
me- such as persecuting prophets or exiling them
or robbing poor people or spreading discord around this
Earth- these ones deserve punishment already.
But by the grace of my lord and reward for good
deeds shall be given eventually- just see how
beautiful these faces once were before changed
into what they are now! Due to our misdeeds we
lost everything- status, dignity... Now because
we wronged ourselves, servants became lords over us!
All that remains after throwing oneself
headlong off a cliff was regretful memories...
