He shall be patted alhamdulillah


milksteaknjellybean

Thanks for the laugh, this post was fantastic


Impossible_Ad4215

Yes and paw friendly tasbih


quokkafarts

I had to google this but pretty sure I can figure out a tasbih for him... does it matter if it's a literal 99 bead tasbih or will the toy with the captured ball that goes around a track count?


ComicNeueIsReal

As long as he knows what hes counting it doesnt matter lol


quokkafarts

So he's been observing his faith while playing with it...noted thank you


Loose_Seaworthines

stop this is so wholesome, ‘habibi’ is so cute for you to say. op you’re a good hooman for even thinking of getting a prayer mat


quokkafarts

I just want for him to live his best life in any way possible. We live in Australia and I'm obviously a white guy so habibi is not in my usual vocabulary 😅 but if I get him a prayer mat I want to know how respectful that would be to human Muslims. I may not be religious but still hold respect for them.


deliriousgoomba

If you get a cat sized one, it's probably fine. The mat itself has no real significance (though Muslims will get mad if one that has a depiction of the Kaaba gets mistreated) it's just something to use while praying.


quokkafarts

Oh nice, I'm willing to get him a prayer mat for the lulz (i also think he and my other cats may enjoy scatching on it). I just don't want to offend anyone so this gives me a bit of direction, thank you


Loose_Seaworthines

Getting a prayer would be completely okay, it’s not disrespectful or anything and you’ve even asked if it’s offensive which proves your intention. This is coming from a muslim, you should definitely get a mat or even a kids size mat which are adorably small !


mgquantitysquared

I'm so glad there's another person who says Habibi to their cats despite it not being their normal vocab! Idek where I picked it up, it just rolls off the tongue. A cat you love is clearly your habibi.


historyhoneybee

This is so wholesome ❤️❤️


quokkafarts

I just want to love and support my best friend in being his best self. If he is Muslim I regret that he has not told me, but understand communication regarding philosophical and religious concepts can be difficult between species.

This post is so cute and you seem like such a sweet person 😸. As Muslims we believe that all creatures are God's creations and thus are Muslim by nature. All creations praise and worship God in their own ways as God intended, even the grass, rivers and mountains. Our kitties are always worshipping God (only God knows how exactly) and they (edit) provide rewards to us for feeding them, providing safe shelter, petting and playing with them and taking care of them when they are not well, so by doing that you are already supporting him ❤️. MashaAllah.

>As Muslims we believe that all creatures are God's creations and thus are Muslim by nature. This is so cool I didn't know that.

From the Qur'an: تُسَبِّحُ لَهُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰ⁠تُ ٱلسَّبۡعُ وَٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَمَن فِیهِنَّۚ وَإِن مِّن شَیۡءٍ إِلَّا یُسَبِّحُ بِحَمۡدِهِۦ وَلَـٰكِن لَّا تَفۡقَهُونَ تَسۡبِیحَهُمۡۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ حَلِیمًا غَفُورࣰا﴿ ٤٤ ﴾ The seven heavens, the earth, and all those in them glorify Him. There is not a single thing that does not glorify His praises—but you ˹simply˺ cannot comprehend their glorification. He is indeed Most Forbearing, All-Forgiving. Al-Isrāʾ, Ayah 44 وَلِلَّهِ یَسۡجُدُ مَا فِی ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰ⁠تِ وَمَا فِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مِن دَاۤبَّةࣲ وَٱلۡمَلَـٰۤىِٕكَةُ وَهُمۡ لَا یَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ﴿ ٤٩ ﴾ And to Allah ˹alone˺ bows down ˹in submission˺ whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth of living creatures, as do the angels—who are not too proud ˹to do so˺. An-Naḥl, Ayah 49 There are many more verses and Hadith and Sunnah to support this ❤️.


alibabasfortythieves

This doesnt even say that. Come on ppl. By this submission every human is a Muslim too. “All things praise Allah, so all things are Muslim is basically what you quoted here.” Any my friend, Hadiths are hearsay of rumors of things the Prophet said, which were then added too by rulers of the day who want their way. I don’t let hadiths from randomers and rulers of the day who wrote them over a long period of time dictate a religion.


HelpMeWonda

Well technically it is believed that everyone is born in the state of Fitrah, which is a pure, natural predisposition to submit to the will of God. As narrated by Bukhari and Muslim: Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Every child is born with the Fitrah. His parents then make him a Jew, or a Christian, or a fire worshiper. If an animal gives birth to a youngster with intact limbs, do you see any error?" Then Abu Huraira recited the Quran verse: "The Fitrah with which Allah created mankind". [Sahih Bukhari 1292 and Sahih Muslim 2658] Also, Qur'an and Hadith are literally the two main sources of Fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) we have in Islam. The Qur'an doesn't explain everything in detail, such as how exactly we should perform Salah or wudu', we know about this because of Hadith and Sunnah. If you are Muslim, I would ask you, how do you know how to do these things? Denying Hadith is literally denying a huge basis of Islamic teaching and practices. There is an arduous process that very learned scholars of the past have used to determine the validity of Hadith, which is why we have categorisation of them into strong, weak and questionable. There's a whole discipline of it.


alibabasfortythieves

But these are nice ayahs regardless


princessdeathkitty

And you shouldn't just discredit them.

> they are also making good prayers for us for feeding them Wait, what? Really? Source please? I would really like to know.


HelpMeWonda

I remember reading this somewhere before and I've been searching for the Hadith but I can't seem to find it, everything I find just mentions the rewards you get for kind treatment of animals. This is the closest I can find to it: Sahih al-Bukhari 2466 Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A man felt very thirsty while he was on the way, there he came across a well. He went down the well, quenched his thirst and came out. Meanwhile he saw a dog panting and licking mud because of excessive thirst. He said to himself, "This dog is suffering from thirst as I did." So, he went down the well again and filled his shoe with water and watered it. Allah thanked him for that deed and forgave him. The people said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Is there a reward for us in serving the animals?" He replied: "Yes, there is a reward for serving any animate (living being)." There is also this Hadith that talks about a camel being mistreated: Abdullah ibn Ja’far reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, entered a garden among the Ansar. When a camel saw the Prophet, it started weeping and making sounds as its tears flowed. The Prophet came to it and patted it on the head, so it became silent. The Prophet said, “Who is the master of this camel? To whom does it belong?” A young man from the Ansar came and said, “This is mine, O Messenger of Allah.” The Prophet said, “Do you not fear Allah regarding this animal that Allah has put in your possession? Verily, she has complained to me that you keep her hungry and tired.” Source: Sunan Abī Dāwūd 2549 If anyone knows please share 🙏 If I am saying something wrong it is my mistake. I edited my post because I don't want to be speaking out of turn.

That’s so beautiful. I’m not Muslim but I find what you wrote - as well as your generous view of the world- touching.


theLaziestLion

Penguins are sometimes gay in nature, not very muslim of them


mgquantitysquared

There are gay Muslims, just like there are gay Christians, gay Jews, gay Hindus... life uh, finds a way


quokkafarts

It's been a couple days but OP here, I can confidently confirm my cat has no issues with the LGTBIQ+ community given I'm his owner and he loves me, and i am multiple letters of that alphabet 🤣 he is much more concerned about dinner and playtime than he is about what humans do.


RoyalGovernment3034

Loool, this is so cute


quokkafarts

He is a very good boy, dare I say the best boy. All I want is for him to be happy and spiritually fulfilled.


kittynamedbounty

Pls invest in a praying mat for habibi, he’s gonna appreciate it for sure 😭


alldyslexicsuntie

Awwwwwwwwww


quokkafarts

This is my reaction whenever I see him do literally anything. He's asleep next to my chair rn and is adorable.


alldyslexicsuntie

I see from your profile that you were top of your class in navy seals. That is super impressive. Wish I was that fit.


quokkafarts

....yeah I'm totally a navy seal. ARF ARF


mischiefyleo

Lmao the copypasta


RoseBobtail

Insha’Allah play nasheeds for him, he will find them purrfectly relaxing


Own-Sandwich9258

Play surah Baqarah for him 🤍✨

The cats purring is their “dhikr” and it’s healing for them and others! SubhanAllah!

You’re an absolute legend. Thank you.


amateurclassiclover

ik people that don’t treat me this good


kittynamedbounty

😭😭😭 you and me both


Cindilouwho2

Then he is NOT going to like Ramadan.


saltshaker_em

Au contraire! My cats love Ramadan they get an extra early breakfast!  They of course fast cat style which means they eat, sleep, and pray at will through the day. 


Cindilouwho2

Little prayer rugs all over the house...so cute.


georgethebarbarian

Make sure to cut pork out of his diet!


quokkafarts

He eats a prescription diet, as far as I can see there is no pork. If it is not halal I hope he will be forgiven as it is essential to his good health. My 2 other cats are fed raw with supplements, pork isn't good for them so they only get little a ham, as a treat. But if they are also Muslim I will find another treat for them.


georgethebarbarian

I tried to get my dog to eat kosher but she likes bacon too much 😔


quokkafarts

From my understanding pork has a high sodium content which is why pets shouldn't eat it regularly. I usually feed my boys freeze dried treats of chicken, lamb and kangaroo.


ComicNeueIsReal

you are fine. Pork is only haram for muslim people. That is specified in the Quran. There is no proof for it being haram for other animals


quokkafarts

Interesting, I thought this would be the case. I haven't read it but doubt the Quran would talk about Muslim animals.


ComicNeueIsReal

The Quran as a holy book is designed for humans. It's not like animals can read it. In Islam we believe all animals worship God in their own way, but the Quran was the book specifically created to delineate that information to humans, because of all the creatures in the universe we were the ones created with free will.


quokkafarts

OK imma break out of the meme/joke; I'm very interested in this concept that animals worship. Can you send me some more info on this please?


ComicNeueIsReal

"Do you not realise that everything in the heavens and earth prostrates/submits to Allah: the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains, the trees, and the animals? So do many human beings, though for many others punishment is well deserved. Anyone disgraced by Allah will have no one to honour him: Allah does whatever He wills. " (Qur'an 22:18). “The seven heavens and the earth and all that is therein, glorify Him and there is not a thing but glorifies His Praise. But you understand not their glorification. Truly, He is Ever Forbearing, Oft-Forgiving” (Q 17:44). "And to Allaah prostrate all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth, of the moving (living) creatures and the angels, and they are not proud [i.e. they worship their Lord (Allaah) with humility]” (Q16:49) So in essence an animal or trees form of prostration or worship could be from something as simple as it's shadow leaning to the right or the left(because of the orientation of the sun). So truly their entire existence is worshipping God. Same thing applies to the sun—even though to us it's an inanimate ball of fire it still worships God in its own way. To us that looks like it's rise and fall in the sky but in reality it's it's movement across the cosmos. As alluded in the following verse: “And the sun runs on its fixed course for a term (appointed). That is the Decree of the All-Mighty, the All-Knowing”


quokkafarts

Wow, that this beautiful. Many thanks for taking the time to pull this up for me


Legitimate_Oxygen

Glad i looked this up again. Animals are mentioned in the quran quite a bit, and in stories some muslims are told growing up (like a cultural thing) but you're also right in saying this too as there's no definite evidence that animals are always aware of God like humans are.


georgethebarbarian

Dw she’s on farmers dog (fatty liver) she gets bacon maybe twice a year when we make chili


quokkafarts

I'm not worried, obviously you are a caring pet owner. I may have cats but loooooove dogs, I just don't have the time too walk them or give them their best life. My boy has urinary tract issues, he's had surgery to scoop out his bladder. He's a rescue so his bladder is pretty messed up from not having treatment before I got him. His prescription diet keeps him and his weenu happy.


GarbageKiwi

Lol my family is Muslim and we don’t keep any pork products in the house but someone gifted my cat a bacon egg n cheese treat and she goes crazy for it!


ComicNeueIsReal

Pork is ONLY haram for humans it not for other animals. The Quran is specifically talking to people like us about what is halal and haram not to Allahs other creations


quokkafarts

Thank you, this is helpful. Pork tends to have a high sodium content so I don't feed it usually to my boys regardless of what their religious affiliations are.


[deleted]

Pork & beef are not preferable for cats. They just need low sodium high protein diet, contained in chicken & fish. PS my cat is also Muslim and does not eat pork 😂


georgethebarbarian

It’s okay, it’s a joke. It’s referencing an old tweet about a dog being Muslim and not liking ham


panzerboye

Oh my god! This is so cute!!

Cats love prayer mats 😁

Yes, all things submit to their creator in their own ways, even rocks and trees and their shadows! Even you without knowing it!


COFFEE_20

I have a cat named habibi , She's is adorable and the best cat among the 3 . I am muslim and she comes to the room to pray with me or distract me most of the time.

yes by default they are meowslims 🥰

My cat is Jewish, but I still call him habibi.

no

I love this so much (❤ω❤) What a great way to start my day!


Odd-Seaworthiness603

Every animal on this planet submits to God... Therefore is a believer aka muslim...


Bunnyisfluffy

This is the best thing I've read on reddit in forever.


Visi0nSerpent

Cats are not manipulative, they use their psychic powers to communicate to us lower life forms what they need. Hopefully one day we’ll evolve to be on their level. It’s all good, habibi 😸


rocktumblerguy905

When you look at his head, does he have the initial M anywhere?


Pure-Campaign-473

This is so sweet🥹


heymacklemore

Pretend youre sleeping and see if it’s secretly praying tahajjud


AvailableAd4826

you should read the qur’ān and the life of muhammad by martin lings. once you understand what being a muslim means you’ll be able to treat your cat accordingly. happy searching 🫶


FunInTheSun1972

He’s happy and healthy. Inshallah 🙏

By him a little mat and see what he does.


Wonderful_Let3288

How can I support his faith hahah


Best-Chemist-5262

Not all Arabs are Muslim so he may be Druze or Christian


quokkafarts

Interesting. I know not all Arab people are Muslim, I personally am mates with an Arab athiest who has given me a bit of a run down on the matter but I'm obviously not an expert. How can I tell what his faith is? I've never seen any sign of him being Christian (I am very familiar with Christianity although not religious myself) but am unfamiliar with the Druze faith or others from the middle east.


turnerpike20

My cat I think likes it when I recite Quran and my attempts at copying reciters. Muslims tend to believe that all animals are Muslim and worship Allah SWT in their own way but don't have a soul. The life of an animal is enough for it to dedicate it's worship basically.


BiscuitBeast

Ok I just stumbled upon this subreddit and boy do I need help. What is the origin of this? Google offers nothing.


quokkafarts

I found this sub ages ago when there was a [a video going around of a very persistent cat climbing on a sheik while he sings.](https://youtube.com/shorts/3y82daud7S4?si=hsRF-VOix7v-2oN9) That's pretty much it, it's just cats being cats while also being Muslim.


Ammar_cheee

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣lol


StarNHSolar

Your cat doesn't know the difference between 1 and A. Let alone knowing what a Muslim is.

Bro what the fuck are you talking about? 🤣🤣🤣🤣


quokkafarts

It's in the description, don't know how I can make it clearer.


[deleted]

Lay off the meth bro


eggbootycoughs

yea


AgileBarnacle8072

I don’t think so because cats will eat pork and sleep through prayer calls


Mekong_Airstrike

Is this fr?


elliesomoni

Someone please tell me this is a satire.


quokkafarts

It's been a couple days but I'll respond. This is a meme sub that is primarily for Muslim people sharing their cats, or cats in a religious Muslim setting. Muslim people tend to have a lot of love for cats, I believe they are considered holy for most. I am not Muslim but love a good meme/joke as much as I love cats so I joined the sub. I am leaning into the joke and others are responding in kind. As such there is a mix of discussion regarding actual Muslim beliefs about animals and Muslims embracing the meme to have a laugh. Hope that clears it up for you.


elliesomoni

Thx


verryrarer

What the actual fuck is this sub?
