A spider holds immense importance in the history of Islam as it saved our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and Hazrat Abu Bakr (RA). When Prophet (SAW) and Hazrat Abu Bakr were being chased by the persecutors, they hid inside a cave whose entrance was blocked by a spider who quickly span a web before the persecutors came. Because of the web even when the persecutors came close to the cave they did not check inside thinking it would be empty or otherwise, there would not have been a web. Therefore, killing a spider is strictly prohibited in Islam and is considered a great sin.
