The Prophetus told us about a prostitute from the children of Israel.

One of the nations before us, there was a prostitute.

The Prophetus said that she got thirsty.

She was panting from thirst.

There was no water to drink.

And so she came across a well which did not have any rope, any string, any bucket.

So she took off her shoe and she climbed down the well.

She drank from the well, she came back up.

When she came back up, she saw a dog who was thirsty and panting and licking the sand

because it didn't have any water.

The prostitute had just drank her share, her full.

She went down, she drank, she came back up.

She thought to herself, this dog is suffering even worse than I am suffering.

Let's pause here.

In our religion, a dog is not considered a noble animal, is it, right?

A dog is not considered a pure animal, even.

Yet it is still a creation of Allah.

And it is still a life that Allah has given.

And it is still a blessing that Allah has given to the world.

Even if it is unpure and unclean from a shuk perspective,

nonetheless it is a creature that Allah has created back to the story.
