Salam Aleikum, my name is Muezza. I am a beautiful Ragdoll cat and this is my new youtube video. In this video, you can see how i am sitting on a table in my wintergarden. I am tired today and very thoughtful. My life goal is to win hearts and make people happy when they watch my videos.
Did you know?
Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was tender and kind towards cats. He appreciated cats. Hazrat Muhammad's favorite cat was called Muezza. There is a well-known story regarding the Prophet Muhammad and Muezza.
When the call to prayers was heard, Muezza was asleep on one of the sleeves of the Prophet’s robes. The Prophet wanted to wear the robe to go to prayers. Rather than disturb Muezza, Muhammad robes cut off the sleeve to leave Muezza in peace. The Prophet then stroked the cat three times, which, it is said, granted Muezza seven lives and the ability to land on his feet at all times (as you might know, cats have a self-righting mechanism, a righting reflex, which is a complex series of movements when a cat falls and which protects the cat from breaking her back).
Prophet Muhammad was so attached to his cat that when he gave sermons he let Muezza rest on his lap and he also drank from water previously drunk by his cat. He also did his ablutions from the same water that was drunk by a cat. He seemed to treat his cat in the same way as cat lovers do today but even cat lovers might think twice about drinking the same water that had been drunk by a cat for fear of transmission of disease from the cat’s saliva.
Islam teaches Muslims to treat cats well and that the cat is a creature to be cherished and loved. Mistreating a cat is regarded as a severe sin in Islam.
