In Islam it is said that there is heavenly reward for every act of kindness done to a living animal.

“It takes care of the weak and the invisible. The way we treat animals is how we think of the weakest members of our society and ACF does amazing work in reaching out to those who are victims of violence and abuse,” she added.
