In Islam, which animals other than humans will go to heaven?

Islam: Animals have a special significance in Islam. In the Islamic religious text Quran, Allah has promised to give place in heaven to 10 animals. Let us know which are those animals to whom Allah will give place in heaven and what is the reason behind this.

According to Islam, three types of animals will get shelter in heaven.

• The first animals include the cavemen’s dog and Prophet Saleh’s camel.
• Secondly, those animals which have been mentioned in Quran and Sunnah, which Allah has prepared for the pious people in heaven.
• Third, those animals whose evidence is mainly mentioned in the Sunnah.

The interpreters have said that 10 types of animals will be allowed to enter heaven, which are as follows-

1. Buraq (an animal smaller than a mule and larger than a donkey, with wings) on which the Prophet will ride on the night of al-Isra Paradise.
2. The female camel of Allah Ta’ala Saleh, which is also mentioned in the Sharia.
3. Uzair’s donkey will also go to heaven, which Allah Ta’ala had sentenced to death for hundred years, but later Allah Ta’ala brought it back to life and sent it back to Uzair.
4. The calf which Prophet Ibrahim sacrificed for his guests will also go to heaven.
5. The ram will also be given a place in heaven because it was because of it that Allah Almighty saved Ismail from death. May Allah bless him.
