**I think there is grave misunderstanding in the treatment of Dogs:
**10) finally, Allah describes in Surah Al-kahf - the Cave - a story of righteous men, the friends of Allah, the pious people of the cave who were accompanied by their dog, and experienced that same passage of time as the other pious people of the cave. That dog was simply a companion dog.

Okay .. so if Dog is a filthy creature and you are not supposed to touch it because you will get ‘napak’ or keep it just a pet … Can somebody please explain to me this part? weren’t these people close to Allah? Weren’t they chosen for this miracle because they were special? They were important enough to be mentioned in Quran so generations and generations of muslims know about them. how can they have companion dog and not us?
