How to treat insects and earthworms according to Islam



Hello readers, I will be writing about the ways insects should be treated, from a bee to a spider to a fly to an earthworm. You should not kill an insect or an earthworm outside your house. You should only kill insects that could be harmful to your health under duress. It is better not to and find another alternative. If the insects provides no present harm to you, it should not be harmed. It is sinful to kill a spider, a bee or an earthworm

Insects worship Allah and are controlled by Him. These insects have roles they play. For example the bee promotes working as a team "And your Lord inspired the bee: “Set up hives in the mountains, and in the trees, and in what they construct..Then eat of all the fruits, and go along the pathways of your Lord, with precision. From their bellies emerges a fluid of diverse colors, containing healing for the people. Surely in this is a sign for people who reflect." Quran 16:68-69.

"The likeness of those who take to themselves protectors other than God is that of the spider. It builds a house. But the most fragile of houses is the spider’s house. If they only knew." Quran 29:41. It is told that Allah used a spider  who spun its web  around  a cave along with two doves to conceal Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) from those who were chasing from the Quràysh. It is sinful to kill them. If they are in your bathtub find a way of helping them get out if especially they are struggling to. 

Allah knows best.  Whatever error I may have made may Allah forgive me.

Other insects will be discussed in another article next week insha Allah. I hope you have gained a thing or two.

Everything should be done for the sake of Allah. Part of doing something for the sake means hoping for a reward from Him in this life and the Hereafter. Everything happens according to the will of Allah (you have freewill, therefore, you are responsible for your actions).

Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah). May Allah send peace and blessings to Prophet Muhammed (P.B.U.H). Thank you for reading this article. Keep checking this blog regularly. Cheers!
