Stick to kindness
'A'isha, may Allah be pleased with him, mounted upon a wild camel and she began to go round and round. Thereupon Allah's Messenger, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:” Stick to kindness for kindness is not to be found in anything but that it adds to its beauty and it is not withdrawn from anything but it makes it defective”.
The Prophet (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was merciful to the animal as he was merciful to people. He (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was the fountain of compassion, and benevolence in every situation.
Islam is the religion whose legislation gathered the assets of wisdom, which are the causes of mercy with which people treat each other, and have mercy even on the animal,
These animals are created as mercy and blessing for them. Therefore, people have to thank Allah for this blessing through being kind to the animals and to avoid harming them as much as they can.
Kindness is a perfect remarkable noble behavior at all times and places.
Allah - the Almighty - has prescribed kindness on everything.
The believer is merciful to himself, merciful to his brethren, merciful with what he has of the beasts and cattle, and what he sees in the land and the sea; so that if the animal is thirsty he would give it water, and would feed it, if he found it hungry, and surely the Muslim will release it, if it is unnecessarily imprisoned. However, if the Muslim wants to keep the animal, he will treat it kindly.
Please note the we are commanded to stick to kindness even in the case of slaughtering the animals.
