Professor Abdullah Alkadi shares the remarkable story of Al-Qaswāʾ, the beloved she-camel of the Prophet Muhammad. ﷺ Faithfully accompanying the Prophet across the Hijaz, the western region of the Arabian Peninsula, Al-Qaswāʾ is mentioned numerous times in hadith literature, from the Hijrah to the Farewell Hajj. Joining Professor Alkadi for an engaging discussion is Shaykh Hamza Yusuf, President of Zaytuna College, California. Together, they will explore the Islamic emphasis on compassion, care, and the ethical treatment of animals, hallmarks of a faith grounded in mercy. Drawing on decades of research into the Hijrah Route, the Way of the Prophets, and the Farewell Hajj, Professor Alkadi observed a striking detail: alongside the Prophet and his Companions at key moments, Al-Qaswāʾ was also present. More than a means of transport, she was a silent witness to revelation, an emblem of loyalty and grace. This heartwarming account uncovers a story many have yet to hear, filled with well-sourced anecdotes that reflect the compassion and spiritual depth of Islam.
