The Quran says: there is no animal, that crawls, on the earth and no flying creature flying on two wings between the earth and sky, but they were nations, tribes, communities and groups like to mankind.

In Ayah 6:38:  Animals and birds were nations like humans; it says: 

 

There is no animal, that crawls, on the earth and no flying creature flying on two wings between the earth and sky, but they were nations, tribes, communities and groups like to mankind.

Animals and birds were nations like humans in many ways as for example in the way that its creation has been ordained, together with its sustenance and affairs.

Animals and birds resemble humans in eating, copulation, understand ing one another, just as you understand one another: this is a sign for you.

Verily, Allah has neglected nothing in the Book, in the Preserved Tablet that Allah has written.

Allah has neglected nothing that He has inscribed in the Preserved Tablet.

And , Allah has mentioned everything in the Quran.

 

Then to their Lord they shall be gathered, and judgement shall be passed upon them, and the hornless sheep shall retaliate against the horned ram, and then it will be said to them and to all the animals: ‘Be dust’.

In other words, unto Allah, the birds and beasts will be gathered with all other created beings on the Day of Judgement.

 

Herein, it is interested that the Quran says to the unbelievers who were mocking of Muhammad and requested a sign from him. The Quran says to them:

Look around you, look at the earth, and look at the sky.

 

All what you have seen around you were nations like human beings. Wake up.

 

  • The dogs were nations, tribes and groups like you.
  • The cats were nations, tribes and groups like you.
  • The horses were nations, tribes and groups like you.
  • The donkeys were nations, tribes and groups like you.
  • The monkeys were nations, tribes and groups like you.
  • The frogs were nations, tribes and groups like you etc.
  • Also, the birds were nations, tribes and groups like you.

 

All the kingdom of animals and birds were like you socially, physically and physiologically, so, wake up and do not be proud of yourself and arrogant.
