The aim of this research is to analyze and investigate the philosophical basis of animal rights and how it relates to modern discourse. The research will explore, through qualitative content analysis, the narrative structure, arguments, and moral reasoning contained in the text. The results describe how the animals of the story bring up a plea against human exploitation by alluding to principles of justice. The findings indicate a deep critique of anthropocentrism through an emphasis on the intrinsic value of non-human beings. The conclusion posits that the text, while embedded in a historical and cultural context, offers timeless insights into the moral obligations of humans toward animals, putting forward a plea for the reconsideration. This research helps to contribute to interdisciplinary discussions that bridge classical Islamic thought, ethics, and modern animal rights advocacy marketing.
