Islam & the Gecko: There are Enough Things Wrong with Religion That You Should Avoid Making Things Up

Posted on by

I realize today that everyone is an expert on Islam. Today I came across something on Twitter which utterly surprised me: Muslims are instructed to kill gecko lizards because one tried to intensify the fire in which the people of the Messenger Ibrahim (Abraham) (عليه السلام) tried to burn him!

I Googled “Gecko Muslim” and was surprised to find material. How did my parents fail to convey to me this vital teaching of my religion? I’ve sat through 40 years of Friday sermons and not once have I been urged to perform this meritorious deed!

The website muhaddith.org allows text searching of Muslim religious texts. Unfortunately, there is no way to permalink the result, so I’m planning on posting the relevant passage here. I’m not sure how the Arabic text’s format will appear in your browser, so at the end I’m adding my comments related to the passages I’ve highlighted in red.

[text removed for brevity, mostly discussing the quantification of reward mentioned in the text, which Muslim scholars found very odd]

وأمَّا تسميته: فويسقاً فنظيره الفواسق الخمس الَّتي تقتل في الحلِّ والحرم.
وأصل الفسق: الخروج، وهذه المذكورات خرجت عن خلق معظم الحشرات ونحوها بزيادة الضَّرر والأذى.

Both of the highlighted passages emphasize the reason for recommending killing the animal is because of its harm to humans as a household pest. The second highlighted passage mentions that it is one of the animals which are permissible to kill in the sacred precincts of Makka during the pilgrimage season.

Because this animal doesn’t bother me in Augusta, Georgia, United States, I feel no religious obligation to kill it or any other animal resembling it. But I do sometimes kill cockroaches and ants in the house. Maybe I shouldn’t.

I also don’t know enough biology to know if the animal the early Muslims considered a pest exists today or how widespread its habitat is. It may not be the cute Geico Gecko. I searched on Twitter for the word al-wazagh (الوزغ). That led me to a beautiful picture of an animal the author claimed was al-wazagh. Here’s a video showing the animal’s reaction to light.

Regarding the Messenger Ibrahim (Abraham), the story in the Quran is that his people tried to burn him.
Quran Explorer – [Sura : 21, Verse : 51 – 70]

A hadith in the Sunan ibn Majah relates the story that the gecko, alone among the creatures of the earth, did not try to put out the fire and instead blew into it to increase its intensity.

سنن ابن ماجه. الإصدار 1,13 – للإمام ابن ماجه

3231- حدّثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ. حدّثنا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ سَائِبَةَ، مَوْلاَةِ الْفَاكِهِ بْنِ الْمُغِيَرةِ؛ أَنَّهَا دَخَلَتْ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَرَأَتْ فِي بَيْتِهَا رُمْحاً مَوْضُوعاً. فَقَالْتْ: يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ! مَا تَصْنَعِينَ بِهذَا؟ قَالَتْ: نَقْتُلُ بِهِ هذِهِ الأَوْزَاغَ. فَإِنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَخْبَرَنَا أَنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، لَمَّا أُلْقِيَ فِي النَّارِ لَمْ تَكُنْ فِي الأَرْضِ دَابَّةٌ إِلاَّ أَطْفَأَتِ النَّارَ. غَيْرَ الْوَزَغِ. فَإِنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَنْفُخُ عَلَيْهِ. فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِقَتْلِهِ.

Do people who criticize Muslims believe that Muslims don’t realize that religious texts contain fables and allegories which are not suitable bases for ethical judgment?

Would not critics of Islam and religion in general be on more stable intellectual grounds discussing gender roles or the contradiction of Divine justice and severe punishment?

Updated January 25, 2015: In my twitter search, I found many people mentioning killing gecko lizards as “reviving a sunnah.” It’s sad to see people trivializing the example of the Messenger Muhammad ﷺ in this manner. One Egyptian media figure, Umar Abd al-Kafi, took some heat for criticizing people talking about killing gecko lizards. I don’t know any of the people involved, so I don’t want to claim that I support Umar Abd al-Kafi in general. His point that people need to use common sense is exactly what I’m saying here.

I asked a relative of mine from Egypt. She said the animal is called burs (البرص), and it can cause skin rashes. She had never heard that it was religiously meritorious to kill it.

So, until Muslims start organizing gecko lizard hunting parties, I’d ask critics of Muslims to lay off this issue. And to those Muslims who see a gecko lizard somewhere, please don’t think killing it is meritorious unless it’s in a position where it may hurt someone.

Finally, regarding the hadith that the one who can kill it with the first blow receives greater reward, perhaps the reward is commiserate commensurate with the person’s hunting skills. Those geckos are pretty fast!

Updated October 4, 2017: Apparently, there are gecko lizard hunting parties, but they are done for money, not religion.

  1. So funny that you claim to know Islam and you don’t know this, may be out there they edited it out as they do with many ridiculous Islamic terms to suit the modern-day and keep up with science. What I said is a sahih hadith, geckos are killed everywhere in Islamic lands, though humans are also killed unjustly by Islamic sharia. If you don’t know, read deeper, ask, don’t just think you know.

  4. Unfortunately, reptiles have been unjustly demonized, particularly in the Mediterranean and in the Middle East. The gecko is no different, and as a lizard small, able to climb walls, nocturnal, having large eyes and a true voice, it gathered much more superstition than other lizards. It happens to have the size of a large insect, group of animals traditionally associated with disgust and contamination, and it happens to be a reptile, group of animals traditionally associated with poison, so it has gathered superstitions from both groups of animals. In fact a gecko has no poison of any kind, and also cannot cause any skin problem. It is said in some parts of the world that the gecko can bring leprosy and other serious skin diseases to humans, but it is utterly false. The most likely scientific explanation is that, due to its ability to detach its tail if threatened, or to detach parts of skin in some species, and due to its pail color, people wrongly thought it had leprosy. The belief can easily be proven wrong by the parts of the world which have no such superstitions or even treat the gecko as a symbol of good luck, and no one gets any skin disease because of them. In my country (Greece) for example, although there is the belief that geckos are evil, the most prevalent belief is that they are good animals, or even good luck bearers. I have caught plenty of geckos without problems.
    Negative beliefs about the gecko are pre-islamic, and can be found even in Ancient Egypt. Most probably islam incorporated these beliefs in its belief system, in order to agree with the traditions of the people.
    But those unscientific beliefs should not dictate our modern life and behaivior. Reptiles especially have been portrayed as evil through time, and the semitic Middle East is a stronghold of such beliefs. Neither the snake is evil, and will bite only in self defence. But people treat them like Devil himself. Why? If you make your property inhospitable for snakes by removing narrow hiding places and food for rodents, it will not come. Likewise, if you don’t like geckos, you can close openings to the house and eliminate food for insects, and it will not come. Don’t kill them, because you don’t like them or because an old sage told it with no scientific proof whatsoever.
    And regarding your remarks on why this tradition should not be used to attack islam, I must disagree. Even if it is not a core part of the religion, it nevertheless has been written in Islamic texts and has followers. Furthermore, hating and killing a whole group of animals (reptiles) for centuries, and believing that it is good for perceived human benefits, is not a light matter I think.
    I don’t subscribe to a religion that vilifies the small and humble gecko, or the left hand of the human body, the foot or other body parts considered shameful or evil.
    Ps. Although most people agree that geckos are the animal meant in the text, according to some it is in fact the salamander. The salamander has traditionally been associated with fire, so it fits more plausibly in the story of Abraham. The gecko though had a bad reputation even before islam, and that finally decided what the evil animal would be.

    • Why not? Geckos are too many species, and from my understanding, only the house gecko is hated. I know muslims that keep leopard geckos as pets for example. But even then, the leopard gecko is believed to be poisonous in its home country, Pakistan and it is unjustly killed. In fact it is a very gentle animal that hasn’t even the strength and speed to escape from humans. But generally, you must not think if it is ok to keep a pet gecko according to whatever. If a religion or belief system starts to interfere too much in every matter of your life, then it is nonsensical tyranny.

  6. It is true that sometimes the teaching of Islam is taught with ‘ridiculous’ fables.
    But the point is we (muslim) have to see the logical / scientific reason behind the fables or simple instructions from Allah. It is one of the Islamic teaching that we have to seek knowledge. There are many example for that but lets just talk about the gecko.

    First. you are correct that we shouldn’t hunt it mindlessly but only kill it if it potentially bringing harm.
    There are many types of gecko but what I know is some can bring e coli with them or other dangerous bacteria.
    When they roam around in your house, who knows what it has touched.
    So it is better to kill it when it is seen inside your house because it will potentially bringing harm to your body no matter how indirectly.

    Second. Kill it on first strike.
    It is not for measuring hunting skills but it is a form of mercy for the gecko.
    If you kill it in one clean hit then hopefully it will die without feeling too much pain.
    However, if you need several hit to kill it then you will most likely torturing the gecko before it finally gone to the other side.
    That is why people who kill it on first strike get ‘bigger plus points’ than the one who needs more.

    lastly it is sunnah which means if you don’t want to do it then there is no penalty whatsoever. That is why many muslim don’t know this ‘bonus point by killing a gecko’ thing.
    Parents and school teachers usually taught only the mandatory ones while sunnah is self taught (for people who wants deeper knowledge of their religion).

    Sorry for the long post hope this clear things up a bit.

    • I don’t agree with much with it. Yes, geckos, as well as most other animals can bring bacteria in their feces and potentially contaminate food, but so could other animals. You disregard the fact of why geckos are attracted to houses in the first place. They eat insects, such as the ones that spoil food. Islam however has no such bad relationships with other animals like cats, which is too plausible they would have first gone out, eat a contaminated rodent and immediately returned to the house. Not to mention the practice of living with the large farm animals in poorer regions even today. Furthermore, the diseases traditionally ascribed to geckos in islamic countries are not gastrointestinal. They are skin problems, that mimic the gecko’s appearance. That is the now disproven doctrin of signatures, that an organism having the appearance of an illness or cure is responsible for that. But whatever the reason, all these prohibitions mostly do not apply to modern contexts. Back then, the houses might be poorly constructed, hot and food storage techniques were primitive. It is very likely insects had rutine axess to food, the food spoiled easily in the hot conditions, and then geckos came to eat the insects. Then if the food went moldy and one got sick, they couldn’t think to blame the bad storage conditions, just the gecko which happened to be a reptile and had resemblance with other poisonous species. Some other times it was probable also that a gecko defecated in a food and brought bacteria or one died and rotted in the food, then some important person got sick, then the conclusion was geckos are bad.
      Even if most muslims don’t know the explicit teaching about the geckos, the fact is geckos are persecuted throughout islamic countries. The exception might be Indonesia and other Southeast Asian regions, were islam is mixed with other, gecko-friendly traditional beliefs.
      And of course not only house geckos are killed. In Pakistan for example, the leopard gecko is also persecuted for being supposedly poisonous. The leopard gecko is another type of gecko, much larger and not living in homes. It can be found in rock formations or poorly maintained fencing walls. It is gentle and it is kept as a pet in the Western World. Yet in Pakistan they hate it. A researcher studying their behaivior in the wild clearly said, reptiles and amphibians are abhorred in Indo-Pakistani culture. Also the same researcher was not believed by the locals for the geckos being harmless, who believed that he had a magic spell to protect himself. Further more, I had read a study about Bedoween traditions about reptiles in the Egyptian desert. These people, even if not living in stable houses were geckos could come, avoided the geckos and considered them very poisonous. Probably that belief was adopted from their sedentary neighbours.
      Hope this irrational fears will be erased in the future. If the fact that that teaching is less and less known is true, then we are in the right way. I have read discussions in Pakistani forums were plenty of people either like or tolerate geckos. But we have a lot of way in front of us. Don’t forget about the negative stance of muslims towards dogs. That was ostensibly for health reasons as well, but it is not applicable today.

      • Islam’s hate towards Dogs is faith driven,not health driven.

        Why is it incumbent to kill black dogs? Is it proven by peer published research that black dogs are substantially more dirty than other living beings? When an angel refuses to enter the house of a Muslim if a dog or a portrait is kept,do you seriously think that the angel doesn’t enter because the dog is unhygienic? Even if it’s unhygienic,how does it affect the angel? Doesn’t an angel posess super natural powers which help them get rid of things?

  9. Geckos are silent non harming reptiles. They won’t do you any harm. How many times have you seen a lizard harming someone? It’s insane that the Prophet of Islam calls for Geckos to be killed (along with Black Dogs to be killed which are one of the most elegant creatures) and Dogs to be preferably killed and definitely hated. If you find out specific problems with all animals,why not kill all animals in a Holocaust? Lions kill people,fireflies disturb you at night,Flies contaminate food,Snakes kill people,Bulls injure people by their horns and porcupines can injure you by releasing their spikes.

    There is something certainly wrong in Islam

  11. I was born in Kuwait in 1981, I’m of Egyptian descent and lived in the Arabian Gulf over the past 30-ought years. I was born into Islam and I’ve been a practicing Muslim my whole life.

    One day, while sitting with some friends in the backyard of my house, a gecko scampers across the wall; I was shocked when a friend of mine stood up and proclaimed that we had to kill it because it was a cursed animal that tried to burn the Prophet Abraham. I had never heard that in all my life as a Muslim residing in the Arab world.

    It’s 2017, how had I never heard this ridiculous story before?! That got me to do some searching online which led me to this blog.

    I had heard of some association between salamanders and fire but never any commandment to kill salamanders on sight. I had even heard that black cats were a bad omen and stray goats may be Djinn in disguise. Typical superstitions and children’s stories.

    I was bewildered as to where this idea came from. What kind of a Muslim is hellbent on killing a harmless creature? What the heck kind of savage idea is that? My friend kept saying it was pest that needed to be eliminated. From a practical perspective it didn’t make sense to kill the gecko since it was a natural pest-control; geckos effectively kill and eat insects including notorious pests like mosquitoes.

    Generally, killing is abhorrent in Islam unless it is to protect life e.g. an animal attack threatens the lives of people. Yet even that example is an extreme.

    I grew concerned about the origin of the potentially dangerous ideology behind such an obtuse and asinine declaration that geckos were inherently evil, followed by the blasphemous claim that the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) supposedly “enjoyed killing geckos” (astaghfar Allah).

    I felt like my entire life I had been following a completely religion. The Islam I know promotes science, knowledge, peace, harmony, and love for our fellow creatures. However, what I have seen involves ritualistic behaviour without understanding and people blindly repeating what their predecessors have done with no concept of why they are doing it. When a question is asked the response is usually “because Allah said it is so” despite the fact there is no mention of it in the Holy Qur’an.

    From a religious perspective, the first word uttered of the Qur’an was “Iqra’a” (translation: Read). Which should be the first indication that pursuit of knowledge and research are paramount. Don’t count on others to read for you; seek knowledge yourself.

    May Allah enlighten those who follow blindly and punish those who mislead others.

  13. Surely this kind of nonsensical views and pseudo hadiths damage islam more than committing serious sins .The Geckos are animals which are of benefit to mankind. They eat the unwanted insects which harm us humans. So they in fact should be protected. What a blasphemy is this to Islam
    promote and propagate about geckos being evil.There is more evil in human beings than in geckos which are of course innocent animals. I would never believe that our holy prophet(pbuh) would ever have mentioned it to kill geckos. He was a wise and intellectual man who said go unto china even to seek knowledge.Such a character i personally believe would never have mentioned such a stupid nonsensical story about geckos or for that matter slamanders.He was an animal loving person. There is an hadith about how a sahaba came to him requesting permission to kill his camel. Our prophet said to him(Sahaba) wud you sink your ship in the middle of the ocean?
    Analog to this the Sahaba understood his point,then he prophet(pbuh) Also mentioned later to his sahabas shud they decide to sacrifice an animal like sheep if there is a need for food in urgent cases, they shud only choose the ones which wud anyway die cuz they r weak. this shows that he gave preference to life.He forbade the killing of healthy animals unjustly.Also someone in this blog said when we slaughter the animals we shud do it clean which wud cause min or no pain he argues.Where the hell wud he know about the pain of the animal???? This is insane. Islam is the true religion and our last hope for salvation but to come up with such ridiculous statements which damage our image and the image of our beloved prophet is indeed very very sad.

  18. Wall Geckos one of two animals that are leprosy bacteria careers and transmit the bacteria to humans , the other animal is armadillos in the Americas . In Arabic Geckos are called Abu Breyss ( Father of leprosy ) Its no wonder that Muslims wanted to exterminate the one animal that spread a disease leprosy that traumatized the whole Mideast you only need the bible and other early books of Mideast of medicine to learn how significant that was and how wide spread leprosy colonies from India to Rome
