This is a saying of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) who was the Messenger Allah revealed the Quran (our holy book) to:
'A man walking along a path felt very thirsty. Reaching a well he descended into it, drank his fill and came up. Then he saw a dog with its tongue hanging out, trying to lick up mud to quench its thirst. The man saw that the dog was feeling the same thirst as he had felt so he went down into the well again and filled his shoe with water and gave the dog a drink. God forgave his sins for this action.' The Prophet was asked: 'Messenger of God, are we rewarded for kindness towards animals?' He said, 'There is a reward for kindness to every living thing.'
That is how Muslims are supposed to live their lives.
The basics of Islam are to give Charity, pray 5 times a day, fast during ramadhan, make hajj (if physically,mentally, and financially able to), and shahada (declaring there is no diety of worship except Allah and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is his messenger.)

islam is total submission to the moon god allah. TOTAL belief in every word of the Unholy book the Qurán.
The total thought of the Qurán is summed up in;
Qurán 9:5
""The Verse of the Sword""
"" Fight and slay the pegans wherever you find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem""
This shows the LOVE and PEACE that this book and islam is all about!
