One of the roles of insects in human life is to provide a balanced ecosystem. The contribution of insects in science is endless, with more discoveries in species that can be studied further. In Islam, scholars have described the legal texts as revelation and evidence of Allah's greatness besides giving numerous lessons to human beings. However, no study has yet been done to systematically analyse the themes and lessons in which insects are mentioned in Islamic law's primary scriptures.

There are a total of 104 hadiths related to insects and can be classified according to eight themes such as allegory/teachings/attributes, hygiene/bathing, eating ethics, muamalat, dress code, worship, medicine and surah references.
