Knowledge is the highest level of information. Beyond religious boundaries, Islamic scholars around the world acknowledge that the Quran contains knowledge that can guide humans. They also acknowledge that human effort is primarily focused on gathering information about discoveries and inventions, with knowledge making up a small portion of human endeavor. The Quranic verses pertaining to animals and current zoological discourse were examined in the paper. A critical analysis using a qualitative approach revealed that the Quranic bent of mind explains the reason behind the creation of these animals and how humans can utilize them to improve their own and others' lives, and vice versa. The study of zoology explains the characteristics of these creatures, including their bodily types and behaviors, as well as how they evolved and procreated. After careful consideration, it may be said that the Seerah and Quranic approaches are directly advantageous to humans, and that zoology should include the rationale behind the viewpoint of animal species inside its field.
