Animal mentioned in Quran

Throughout the Quran, Allah reminds us all about the role of animals on earth, their own duty towards Allah, and how we (as humans) should be aware of treating animals with kindness and respect as creations of Allah. There are more than 200 verses in the Quran that mention animals, and six chapters are also dedicated to an animal: Surah Al Baqarah (The Cow), Surah Al Anaam (The Cattle), Surah Al Nahl (The Bees), Surah Al Naml (The Ants), Surah Al Ankabut (The Spider), and Surah Al Fil (The Elephant).
