Will there be animals in Paradise?
Animals in Paradise are divided into three categories:
1. Those for which nothing authentic has been reported, such as the dog of the People of the Cave and the she-camel of Saleh.
2. Those mentioned in the Qur’an and as being prepared for the believers, such as the birds of Paradise and their meat, and the ox which is the food of the people of Paradise.
3. Those explicitly mentioned in the authentic Sunnah, such as sheep, based on the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) saying: “Pray in sheepfolds and wipe their nostrils, for they are among the animals of Paradise.” And what has been reported in the hadiths about camels and horses, and that whoever donates a she-camel in the way of Allah will have seven hundred she-camels in Paradise to ride for recreation. And what has been reported that the people of Paradise will visit each other on swift she-camels (naja’ib), and that horses in Paradise will be made of red ruby and will fly with their rider wherever he wishes, and that the souls of martyrs will be in the crops of birds, roaming wherever they wish.
Animals in Paradise differ from their counterparts in this world, except in their names.
