Reply to comment by Scottland83 in TIL: The domestic cat is a revered animal in Islam and One of Muhammad's (PBUH) companions was known as Abu Hurairah (literally: "Father of the Kitten" PBUH) for his attachment to cats. by ElectroFlannelGore
Well thats where you're wrong mate. Anyone can go to a mosque as long as you accept that there is only one god and Muhammad (may blessed peace be ever unto him) is his messenger.

Anyone can really enter a mosque if you're not there for causing trouble.

Thought so. More to the point, there's no dogs - but cats are in fact allowed. Might not be reverence exactly but I call that special treatment.

I read a Hadith that the Prophet PBUH used to pray in mosque and they were puppies playing in the mosque.

Is there any consensus whether dogs are haram or not in that case? I thought you weren't supposed to keep doggies??
I'm no scholar though so maybe it's just not clear.
Reckon cats are clear cut fine and dandy though, if you're trying to live by the best example.

You aren't supposed to keep dogs as pets but only for necessity or proper reason then you can keep a dog as far as I know

Dogs are despised in Islam. In fact, in many Arab countries calling someone a ‘dog’ is a massive insult. They are considered filthy animals, like pigs.

Accepting the one true faith ain’t exactly as simple as taking off one’s shoes.

Genuinely it is as simple as saying and believing what I wrote.
I dont necessarily believe it by the way, but you can always become a muslim.

We don’t choose what we believe.
