Islam is the religion for all creatures. Our religion teaches us to be kind to all of Allah's creation, including animals. The present book, 'Kindness to Animals', was compiled by Majdee Fathee As-Sayyid; an author of children's books in Arabic, and our American brother, Aqeel Walker has translated it into English. Thus, the original author's intent has been kept while conveying the message in a modern style of English language for children.

I hope that this publication will describe and give a simple account of how a Muslim child can increase kindness to animals. We also hope that the parents will appreciate our efforts in this regard and help their children to benefit from this book.
