The Concept of Zoology in the Quran; A Specific Study (The Castles)

Abstract

The Quran, the central religious text of Islam, includes numerous references to animals, both real and mythical. These references are often used as metaphors and analogies to convey important moral and spiritual lessons. Animals mentioned in the Quran include domesticated animals such as cows, sheep, and camels, as well as wild animals such as lions, elephants, and birds of prey. The Quran also mentions a number of mythical creatures, such as the jinn, which are said to be created from fire, and the behemoth and leviathan, which are believed to be great beasts of the sea. This introductory review aims to provide an overview of the various animals mentioned in the Quran and their significance in Islamic tradition. Through exploring the Quranic verses about animals, this review will shed light on the important relationship between humans and animals in Islam, and how the Quran encourages us to be good stewards of the natural world. Moreover, the Quranic references to animals are not limited to their physical characteristics and behavior. They often serve as symbolic representations of various moral and spiritual qualities, such as strength, patience, and humility. For instance, the example of the ant is cited in the Quran as a model of industriousness and foresight, while the story of the spider in the Quran demonstrates the power of determination and resourcefulness.
