    Camels were mentioned in the Holy Quran Many times; 
    Camels were mentioned in the Holy Quran, Surah Al-An'am (6), Verse 166

     "And a pair of camels and a pair of cows. Ask ˹them˺, “Has He forbidden ˹to you˺ the two males or the two females or what is in the wombs of the two females? Or were you present when Allah gave you this commandment?” Who does more wrong than those who fabricate lies against Allah to mislead others without ˹any˺ knowledge? Surely Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people."

     

     

    Camels were also mentioned in the Holy Quran, Surah Al-Hajj (22), Verse 36

     "We have made sacrificial camels ˹and cattle˺ among the symbols of Allah, in which there is ˹much˺ good for you. So pronounce the Name of Allah over them when they are lined up ˹for sacrifice˺. Once they have fallen ˹lifeless˺ on their sides, you may eat from their meat, and feed the needy—those who do not beg, and those who do. In this way We have subjected these ˹animals˺ to you so that you may be grateful."
