It still feels like im in a dream, im literally a step away from stepping into the world of veterinary. However, it is difficult the fact that we have to compete with each other for a spot here. I know everyone have different interests but I frankly feel that everyone wants to be a part of the veterinary community. It was difficult to grow up as a kid who loves animals. I seriously don’t get why the society actually underestimate the capability of animals. If I were to witness an accident involving a cow and a man, I will try my best to help both but my heart will always want to help the cow more. I seriously think that animals contribute a lot to the world that when they are not present, everything else is in interference. There must be a specific reason why Allah SWT created them, Allah SWT could just create us if he wants but he chose to create these animals for us. Yes, humans are the best of creations but we are the best of creations because everything else around us, like animals and plants, actually contribute to that fact. For example, our ancestors wouldn’t have clothes and food if animals weren’t present. They willed themselves to be slaughtered just to fulfill the hunger of us, humans. Don’t you sometimes sit and wonder, do animals actually make more sacrifices for us humans just because they obey Allah SWT more than we do? Wow.
Last week, our class representative showed us a video about animals being in complete supplication and ready to be slaughtered when asmaAllah was whispered to their ears and it literally blew me away. That person in the video said that animals are actually more pious than we are, and they don’t even have the best of al-aqlu(minds). Its so heart touching. In the Quran, Allah mentioned that the sounds made by the wind, rain, animals and plants are actually zikr, remembrance of Allah Taala. If you were to take a stroll in the morning, think about this, and listen to all the zikr around you. Allah also mentioned that those who think of Allah and His creations while standing, sitting and even lying down are the people who actually think (ulul albab). You might think that to be a part of the ulul albab is to be full of wisdom and experience but no my friend, you just have to be a humble slave, look around you and think deeply of the wisdoms of all these creations. I am naïve, I do not know much but when I start to think of all the things around me, serenity and inner peace overpowers me. One of the reason why I would rather walk to Pusat Asasi everyday now.
So, why veterinary?
Being a veterinarian is not an easy task, considering all the conflicts of touching the haraam and the functionality of being a veterinarian in the society. Learning the anatomy of animals is also not easy. Im not sure of this love I have for animals is actually a different level of love or so, but I believe that only some people have it and these are the people that I can connect most with (except my mum though, she doesn’t fancy animals but I can connect to her the most besides Allah SWT ). Generally, every kindness, directly or indirectly, deserves a reward from Allah SWT. Being kind and loving to animals is also an act of worship, you get rewards for that heck animals even pray for you when you do good to them. You never know if the prayers they make to Allah SWT for you are one of the reason for your success. Allah..
Animals are here to give us reminders on why we are here in this dunya before the akhirah. Animals are here to remind us of gratefulness. Yes, they carry out zikr as well to Allah SWT and they are guaranteed to be in heaven but we have the opportunity to pray to Allah SWT, to tell Allah SWT everything and I am positive that they would do anything to have that opportunity. We should be grateful for that blessing. Animals are here to remind us on the punishments Allah ordains if we disobey Him. For example, snakes, poisonous insects, carnivores etc do remind us of the akhirah. We have heard tons of stories about snakes waiting in one’s grave due to negligence of their 5 daily prayers. Allah. Most importantly, animals are here to give love a little bit of life. Humans take love for granted. Thus, they are here to tell us that love is all we need. If we love each other, jealousy, fights, black magic etc wouldn’t have occurred. The term “if” is bad, I know, but if these animals expect us to love them, what more of humans? That is why we should try our very best to treat everyone around us with a fair level of kindness. We are the best of creations, right?
I could literally go on and on about the wisdoms behind the existence of animals but I think I should stop. I want you to think about it (: I don’t even want to go deep into plants, they basically contribute to everything! Happy thinking. Salam.
