  1. because they are good. ants pick up waste and bees make honey.

  2. Because Islam is the religion of peace,it teach us to be kind for everyone, unless it is harmful for us. And ants, bees are not that much harmful that we should kill them for our protection.

  5. you should not kill any thing except you have too and ask the truth_seeker or the lay-seeker where he gets his ideas, From Japan (Hiroshima) or from (Iraq).

  6. It is the first time I’ve heard that…I would like to see that source…
    If you think about it, it is none-sense to kill ants or bees without any reason becouse they are created for particular reasons

  7. that great prophet wasn’t cool with any kind of killing.
    HOWEVER….consider the philosophy of re-incarnation.
    it is beleived that i you lived life as a good person,at your death you come back as a better creature.
    of course,bad people come back as lower critters.
    so the buck has to stop somewhere.if ants and bees are being killed,they might run out of the ‘lowest” beings.
    i’m pretty sure “THE BIG M” won’t let you come back as a weed. g.p.

  8. Nobody said it was forbidden to kill ants or bees. What the holy prophet meant in GENERAL is that we should be KIND and RESPECTFUL to all living things because they are all God’s creations. Each of us are submitted to the obligations and responsibilities to take care what God has given us on this very planet.

    Think about it this way. With all the living creatures and plants on this earth, why are we here? In this context, our purpose is to safeguard this earth. We are the only species capable of protecting the other species, and that include ourselves. As Islam is a religion of peace and mostly misunderstood by many, God wants us to not only to love among ourselves, but also His other creations as well.

    It’s all about respect, yo. But of course, we are allowed to kill animals for food, or when being threatened/self-defense, or if they get in the way of our life (pests, etc). Islam clearly supports non-cruelty towards animals :)

  9. Mohammad PBUH was sent as a gifted mercy for all creature and this is an example:
    ” ‘Abdullah b. J’afar narrated the incident that once the Prophet entered the enclosure of an Ansari where there was a camel which started groaning on catching sight of the Prophet, tears running down its eyes. The Prophet went near it, patted on its hump and face which set it at ease. Then the Apostle asked who its owner was. The Ansari youngmen came and said: “O Messenger of God, it belongs to me.” The Prophet said to him, “Do you not fear God in the matter of this beast although He has made you its owner? It complained to me that you bore hard upon it and always kept it at work.”
    Ibn Mas’ud reports, “While we were on a journey with God’s Messenger, he went a short distance from where we had encamped. There we saw a small bird with two of its birdlings and caught them. The bird was fluttering when the Prophet came back and so he asked, ‘Who has distressed it by taking its chicks ?’ Then he asked us to return the chicks.
