How to treat animals
Owning a dog gives you minus points
“Whoever keeps a (pet) dog which is neither a watch dog nor a hunting dog, will get a daily deduction of two Qirat from his good deeds.”
Kill all dogs
the Messenger of Allah commanded that all dogs be killed, even small dogs.

Kill all lizards
the Prophet of Allah told us that when Ibrahim was thrown into the fire, there was no beast on earth that did not try to put it out, apart from the house lizard that blew on it. So the Messenger of Allah commanded that they should be killed.”
Minutiae
Islam really obsesses about completely ridiculous everyday minutiae, as if God would care. Controlling your everyday behavior is a big red flag for a manipulative cult. Here are some of the most ridiculous examples.
How to breathe while drinking
“When anyone of you drinks, let him not breathe into the vessel. If he wants to continue drinking, let him move the vessel away (in order to breathe) then bring it back, if he wants.”

Don’t tie your shoe while standing
The Messenger of Allah forbade a person tying up his shoe while standing
Don’t make pictures
The Messenger of Allah said, “Those who draw pictures will be punished on the Day of Resurrection
I heard the Messenger of Allah saying, “Every painter will go to Hell, and for every portrait he has made, there will be appointed one who will chastise him in the Hell.”
Don’t throw pebbles
The Prophet forbade throwing small pebbles
How to do your toilet
God’s messenger forbade us to face the qibla when easing ourselves or passing water, or to wipe ourselves with the right hand, or to wipe ourselves with less than three stones, or to wipe ourselves with dung or bone.
Muslims must dye their hair
