What does the Qur'an say about animals and mercy to creation?

The Qur'an gives animals a dignity many overlook: it calls them communities like ourselves, known to Allah and gathered back to Him. Mercy to every creature is woven into the faith.

“And there is no creature on [or within] the earth or bird that flies with its wings except [that they are] communities like you. We have not neglected in the Register a thing. Then unto their Lord they will be gathered.”— 6:38 (Saheeh International)
