Soul

To answer this question, you need to tell me what a "soul" is. Humans certainly have cognitive, social and emotional abilities not shared with other animals.

What s that. ?

A soul is what we think we have in our body , a spirit in another words.

So any animal has a soul if they think they have a soul.

Do any animals other than humans care? I suspect most animals have more important things to worry about.

Yeah that s true . Even us we have a lot more to worry about unfortunately

Soul is something whose knowledge is only with God. Some one asked the same question to Prophet Muhammad PBUH and in response Allah revealed following verse of the Quran:

And they ask you, [O Muhammad], about the soul. Say, "The soul is of the affair of my Lord. And mankind have not been given of knowledge except a little." [Quran 17:85]

Today we have made so much progress in science and still we could not understand the reality of soul. We know when a person dies, his/her soul leaves the body but no one has seen it. That's how the matters of unseen are in this world. We don't have eyes to see the reality. But in Hereafter we can see all unseen.

Regarding your question about animals yes they do have souls. And they will also be gathered on the day of Judgement. Quran says:



All creatures will be gathered on the Day of Resurrection, animals, beasts, birds and everything. Then Allah’s justice on that day will reach such an extent that Allah will settle the score for the hornless animal with the horned one. Then He will say, ‘Be dust,’ at which point the disbeliever will say:

they have souls and we kill them to eat

We don't eat their souls.

So who have a soul can be eaten as a meal ? And it s ok for god ?

God has allowed humans to eat meat of certain animals and birds. Muslim slaughter them by reading Allah's name.

I need to learn how to post pictures
Can you please help hightor?

Sure. Find a picture you wish to post and copy its URL. If using your own picture upload it onto an image sharing service to obtain a URL. Using your BBCode editor click "Img". You'll get this:

Some pictures will be too big for the screen — downsize them this way:

I am pretty sure Broccoli has s soul.

So those mentioned in the book have to suffer and those who are not no . I don t see that is right for those selected to be kill for lunch , you would nt see it like that if you was one of them

We re talking about creatures how you came with a veggie ? You like them with chicken breast or beef ?

Absolutely.
If god didn't mean us to eat animals he wouldn't have made them out of meat.
