Открыток: Religious texts are those sacred and central to the teachings of almost every given religion. They are significant as these texts convey spiritual truth, establish a connection with the divine, and foster communal identity. Religious texts convey and represent the recognition of a human as a unit that, combined with such others, builds a society in need of rules and beliefs to rest on. Religious texts, such as Qur’an in Islam, are usually written in the form of a combination of stories, that, amalgamated, build a plot centered around groups of peoples following their own paths and somehow contributing to the development of the bigger picture with ultimate teaching, that is “Believe in Allah” or “Believe in God,” supreme to the homo sapiens. And even though it seems like people play the only important parts in these texts, animals are largely incorporated into religious texts bringing about their own intriguing yet polarized symbolical meanings. In this essay, I would like to explore the roles of “conveying knowledge” or what could be considered a personification allegory function that animals hold in the Qur’an as a tool of recognition of people's knowledge limitations before the “supreme powers,” which ultimately leads to the recognition of Supreme Powers as Nature.
