Undesirability of Reviling the Rooster

Even the crow of a rooster has a place in a believer's day, and this brief chapter asks us to see it. The rooster is not to be cursed, because its call rouses people for prayer, turning an ordinary animal into a small, faithful summoner toward the worship of Allah.

The wider lesson reaches past one bird. Buruja's takeaway is to guard the tongue from carelessly reviling creation, and to notice the quiet good that even humble things carry when they help us toward what matters.
