Wa Alaikum As'salam,
All creatures that ever existed on earth will resurrect in the Day
of Judgment and will be brought before Allah Almighty:
[006:038] There
is not an animal (that lives) on the earth, nor a being that flies
on its wings, but (forms part of) communities like you
امم امثالكم. Nothing have we omitted from
the Book, and they (all) shall be gathered to their Lord in
the end ثم الى ربهم يحشرون.
6:38 ومامن دابة في الارض ولاطائر يطير بجناحيه الا امم امثالكم
مافرطنا في الكتاب من شئ ثم الى ربهم يحشرون
But what will happen to them is not known. The following are
the possibilities:
1-
Some say that animals will
turn into dust. There are Hadiths from Prophet
Muhammad, peace be upon him, that say this:
[078:040] Verily,
We have warned you of a Penalty near, the Day when man will see (the
deeds) which his hands have sent forth, and the Unbeliever will say,
"Woe unto me! Would that I were (metre) dust!
ياليتني كنت ترابا"
78:40 انا انذرناكم عذابا قريبا يوم ينظر المرء ماقدمت يداه ويقول
الكافر ياليتني كنت ترابا

2-
However, it's been proven that monkeys are very close to humans, and
they do have a lot of mathematical and memory intelligence [1]
[2
youtube]. So could monkeys have a Spirit from Allah
Almighty as humans do, as shown in the Noble Verses below?
After all, Allah Almighty said in Noble Verse
6:38, above, that all animals are communities
like us, humans.
Allah Almighty Alone Knows best.
Animal-SELF and Human-SELF:
Animals have animal-selves, but do not have spirits. Our selves are
human selves, and our spirit is from Allah Almighty. Allah Almighty
blows His Spirit into our mothers' wombs to bring us to life:
"But He fashioned him in due proportion, and breathed
into him something of His Spirit. And He gave you
(the faculties of) hearing and sight and feeling (and
understanding): little thanks do ye give! (The
Noble Quran, 32:9)"
"When I have fashioned him (in due proportion) and breathed
into him of My Spirit, fall ye down in obeisance
unto him. (The
Noble Quran, 38:72)"
"When I have fashioned him (in due proportion) and breathed
into him of My Spirit, fall ye down in obeisance
unto him. (The
Noble Quran, 15:29)"
"And (remember) her who guarded her chastity: We
breathed into her of Our Spirit, and We made her and
her son a sign for all peoples. (The
Noble Quran, 21:91)"
"And Mary the daughter of 'Imran, who guarded her chastity; and We
breathed into (her body) of Our Spirit; and she
testified to the truth of the words of her Lord and of His
Revelations, and was one of the devout (servants). (The
Noble Quran, 66:12)"
Animals are instinctive creatures. They do only as they are
programmed to do. Their intelligence is very limited, and they have
no spirits. They
have no will.
There is strong evidence that they will end up in Heaven.
And Allah Almighty Alone Knows best.
Allah
Almighty Said about the Creatures that have no Will and also about
those that do have will:
[024:041] Seest
thou not that it is God
Whose praises all beings in the heavens and on earth do celebrate,
and the birds (of the air) with wings outspread? Each one knows its
own (mode of) prayer and praise. And God knows well all that they
do.
[059:024] He
is God, the Creator, the Evolver, the Bestower of Forms (or Colours).
To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names: whatever is in the heavens
and on earth, doth
declare His Praises and Glory: and He is the Exalted
in Might, the Wise.
[062:001] Whatever
is in the heavens and on earth, doth
declare the Praises and Glory of God,- the
Sovereign, the Holy One, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
[064:001] Whatever
is in the heavens and on earth, doth
declare the Praises and Glory of God: to Him belongs
dominion, and to Him belongs praise: and He has power over all
things.
Man's Will:
To further support my points above, Allah Almighty Said:
[033:072] Verily,
we proposed to the Heavens, and to the Earth, and to the Mountains
to receive the Faith, but they refused the burden, and they feared
to receive it. Man
undertook to bear it, but hath proved unjust,
senseless!
The human-nafs (self):
Allah Almighty Said the following about the NAFS (SELF):
89:27 ياايتها النفس المطمئنة
[089:027] "O
(thou) soul SELF,
in (complete) rest and satisfaction!
89:28 ارجعي الى ربك راضية مرضية
[089:028] "Come
back thou to thy Lord,- well pleased (thyself), and
well-pleasing unto Him!
89:29 فادخلي في عبادي
[089:029] "Enter
thou, then, among My devotees!
89:30 وادخلي جنتي
[089:030] "Yea,
enter thou My Heaven!
Notice how Allah Almighty Commands the SELF to enter HIS DEVOTEES.
It is referring to us, humans. The Noble Verses are speaking about
the satisfied NAFS (SELF) returning to Allah Almighty after death,
and then entering into the good believers in the Hereafter. For
