This is the token of the covenant which I make
between Me and you
and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations
. . . and the bow [rainbow] shall be in the cloud; and I will look
upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between
God and every living creature of all esh that is upon the earth.

There is not an animal on the earth nor a being that ies on its
wings, but [forms part of] communities like you.
KORAN (QUR’AN) 6:38

All this world is strung on me like jewels on a string. I am the taste
in the waters, the radiance in the sun and moon, the sacred syllable
Om that reverberates in space, the manliness in men. I am the
pleasant fragrance in earth, the glowing brightness in re, the life
in all beings.
BHAGAVAD GITA VII:7–9

My love to the footless, my love to the two-footed, my love to the
four-footed, my love to the many-footed . . . All sentient beings,
all breathing things, creatures without exception, let them all see
good things, may no evil befall them.
