Love him…when he drives so fast. He only wants you to be there in time.

Love him…when he extends his period of rest. He is re-charging himself to serve you the best.

Love him…when he forgets to buy the bread or milk. He was rushing home to be with you.

Love him…when he does not give you a chance to talk. He just knows what is in your heart and what it is you want to say.

WHY IS ISLAMIC WAY OF SLAUGHTERING IS SO BRUTAL?

WHY IS ISLAMIC WAY OF SLAUGHTERING IS SO BRUTAL? 

Research: Islamic Slaughtering and Western method of Slaughtering.

Let's begin with a small introduction with the term HALAAL

What is Halaal (حلال)?

Halal is an Arabic word meaning lawful or permitted. The opposite of halal is HARAAM (حرام), which means unlawful or prohibited. Halal and haram are universal terms that apply to allfacets of life. However, we will use these terms only in relation to food products, meat products, cosmetics, personal care products, pharmaceuticals, food ingredients, and food contact materials.

While many things are clearly halal or haram, there are some things which are not clear. Further information is needed to categorize them as halal or haram. Such items are often referred to asmashbooh, which means doubtful or questionable.

All foods are considered halal except the following (which are haram):
Swine/Pork and its by-products - Read more on WHY PORK IS PROHIBITED
Animals improperly slaughtered or dead before slaughtering
Alcoholic drinks and intoxicants Carnivorous animals, birds of prey and certain other animals Foods contaminated with any of the above products,

Foods containing ingredients such as gelatin, enzymes, emulsifiers, and flavors are questionable (mashbooh), because the origin of the seingredients is not known.

Let's now move into the topic.

The Islamic practice of slaughtering animals by means of a sharp cut to the front of the neck has frequently come under attack by some animal rights activists as being a form of animal cruelty, the claim being that it is a painful in human method of killing animals. In the West, it is required by law to stun the animals with a shot to the head before the slaughter, supposedly to render the animal unconscious and to prevent it from reviving before it is killed so as not to slow down the movement of the processing line. It is also used toprevent the animal from feeling pain before it dies.

German Research Studies Pain,

It therefore may come as a surprise to those who have made such acclimations to learn of the results of a study carried out by Professor Wilhelm Schulzeand his colleague Dr. Hazim at the School of Veterinary Medicine, Hannover University in Germany. The study: ‘Attempts to Objectify Pain and Consciousness in Conventional (captive boltpistol stunning) and Ritual (halal, knife) Methods of Slaughtering Sheep and Calves’ concludes that Islamic slaughtering is the most humane method of slaughter and that captive bolt stunning, practiced in the West, causes severe pain to the animal.

In the study, several electrodes were surgicallyimplanted at various points of the skull of allanimals, touching the surface of the brain. Theanimals were allowed to recover for several weeks. Some animals were then slaughtered by making a swift, deep incision with a sharp knife on the neck cutting the jugular veins and thecarotid arteries as well as the trachea andesophagus (Islamic method). Other animals werestunned using a Captive Bolt Pistol (CBP). During the experiment, an electroencephal ograph (EEG) and anelectrocardiogram (ECG) recorded the condition of the brain and the heart of all animals during the course of slaughter and stunning.

The results were as follows:

I – Islamic Method When you slaughter in Islamic way the blood is drained from the flesh, where as other method ofkilling clots the blood and 45 percent of the blood remains in the flesh, hence eating such meat is highly dagerous to health, especially kids.

1. The first three seconds from the time of Islamic slaughter as recorded on the EEG did not show any change from the graph before slaughter, thus indicating that the animal did not feel any painduring or immediately after the incision.

2. For the following 3 seconds, the EEG recorded acondition of deep sleep - unconsciousness. This is due to the large quantity of blood gushing out from the body.

3. After the above-mentioned 6 seconds, the EEG recorded zero level, showing no feeling of pain atall.

4. As the brain message (EEG) dropped to zero level, the heart was still pounding and the body convulsing vigorously (A reflex action of the spinal cord) driving a maximum amount of blood from the body thus resulting in hygienic meat for the consumer.

قربانی کا جانور کیسا ہونا چاہئے ؟

قربانی کا جانور کیسا ہونا چاہئے ؟ 

--------------------------------------

٭ قربانی کے لئے دو دانتا جانور ہونا چاہئے جیسا کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے حضرت جابر رضی اللہ عنہ روایت کرتے ہیں کہ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا :
٫٫لاتذبحوا لا مسنة لا أن یعسر علیکم فتذبحوا جذعة من الضأن،، 
یعنی صرف دو دانتا جانور کی قربانی کرو اگر ایسا جانور نہ مل سکے تو جذعہ ( دو دانت سے کم عمر کا دنبہ ) ذبح کرلو . ( 

صحیح مسلم حدیث نمبر ١٩٦٣)


حافظ ابن حجر رحمة اللہ علیہ (جذعہ) کی عمر کے بارے میں رقمطراز ہیں :
جمہور کے قول کے مطابق بھیڑ میں سے (جذعہ) وہ ہے جس نے اپنی عمر کا ایک سال مکمل کرلیا ہو .
( فتح الباری ٥١٠) 

٭خصی اور غیر خصی دونوں قسم کے جانور کی قربانی کرنا سنت مطہرہ سے ثابت ہے .

(تفصیلات کیلئے دیکھئے ، ارواء الغلیل ٢٥١٤، سنن ابو داؤد حدیث نمبر ٢٧٩٣ }


٭ قربانی کا جانور موٹا ، تازہ ، خوبصورت اور ہر قسم کے عیب سے پاک ہونا چاہئے . وہ جانور جن کی قربانی جائز نہیں . اس کی تفصیلات مندرجہ ذیل حدیث سے معلوم ہوتی ہے، 
حضرت علی رضی اللہ عنہ سے مروی ہے کہ ہمیں رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے حکم دیا کہ ہم جانور کی آنکھیں اور کان اچھی طرح دیکھ لیں اور ایسا جانور نہ ذبح کریں جس کا کان اوپر یا نیچے سے کٹا ہو ، جس کے کان لمبائی میں کٹے ہوں یا جس کے کان میں گول سوراخ ہو،، .

( سنن ترمذی ١ ٢٨٣۔ ابوداؤد حدیث نمبر ٨٢٠٤)

_______________________________

کس جانور کی قربانی سے بچا جائے ؟ 

-----------------------------------------------

نیز حضرت براء بن عازب رضی اللہ عنہ سے مروی ہے کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے سوال کیا گیا : کس جانور کی قربانی سے بچا جائے ؟
آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے ہاتھ سے اشارہ کرکے کہا کہ چار قسم کے جانور وں کی قربانی منع ہے
(١) لنگڑا جانور جس کا لنگڑا پن ظاہر ہو 
(٢) کانا جانور جس کا کانا پن ظاہر ہو 
(٣) بیمار جس کی بیماری ظاہر ہو
(٤) لاغر جانور جس کی ہڈیوں میں بالکل گودا نہ ہو ،،.

( موطا ٢/ ٥٨٢ ، ترمذی ١ ٢٨٣ ، ابن ماجہ حدیث نمبر ٣١٤٤ وغیرہ ) .


اس حدیث سے معلوم ہوا کہ قربانی کے جانوروں میں معمولی عیب کی معافی ہے لیکن جن جانوروں میں ان عیوب سے بڑا عیب ہوگا ان کی قربانی جائز نہیں ہوگی.

_______________________________


٭ ایک بکرے یا بھیڑ میں ایک سے زیادہ آدمی حصہ دار نہیں ہو سکتے البتہ گائے میں سات آدمی اور اونٹ میں دس آدمی حصہ دار ہو سکتے ہیں . اگر کوئی ایک سے زائد حصے رکھنا چاہے یا اکیلا ہی قربانی کرنا چاہے تو اس کی مرضی ہے . حدیث ملاحظہ فرمائیں. عن ابن عباس رضی اللہ عنہما قال : کنا مع رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم فی سفر فحضر الضحی فاشترکنا فی الجزور عن عشرة والبقرة عن سبعة ،، ترجمہ: ٫٫سیدنا عبد اللہ بن عباس رضی اللہ عنہما نے فرمایا کہ ہم رسول اللہ ۖ کے ساتھ کسی سفر میں تھے کہ عیدالاضحی آگئی . تو ہم نے اونٹ میں دس اور گائے میں سات آدمیوں نے شرکت کی ،،.

( صحیح ترمذی ٢/٨٩. وصحیح ابن ماجہ ٢/ ٢٠٠}

The First Ten Days of Zul-Hijjah.

★ The First Ten Days of Zul-Hijjah. 

Must Read & Share!

♥ Allah has taken oath of ten nights in Soorah Al-Fajr. According to the majority of the commentators of Qur'ãn, the nights are those of the (first) ten days of Zul Hijjah.

♥ Abdullah Ibne 'Abbãs RadiyAllahu Anhu related that the Prophet SalAllahu Alyehe Wasallam said, "Good deeds performed on other days are not superior to those performed o
n these (first ten days of Zul Hijjah)." The Companions RadiyAllahu Anhum inquired, "Not even Jihãd?" He replied, "Not even jihãd, except for that person who goes out putting himself and his wealth in danger and does not return with anything." (Bukhãri)

♥ Aboo Hurayrah RadiyAllahu Anhu related that Rasoolullah SalAllahu Alyehe Wasallam said, "On no days is the worship of Allah desired more than in the (first) ten days of Zul Hijjah. The fast of each of these days is equal to the fast of a whole year, and the worship of each of these nights is equal to the worship of Laylatul Qadr." (Tirmizi, Ibne Mãjah)

♥ The mother of the believers, Hafsah RadiyAllahu Anhaa reports that Rasoolullah SalAllahu Alyehe Wasallam used to fast the (first) nine days of Zul Hijjah. (Nasã'ee, Ahmad, Aboo Dãwood)

♥ Abdullah Ibne 'Umar RadiyAllahu Anhu related that Rasoolullah SalAllahu Alyehe Wasallam said, "No days are as weighty with Allah and so liked by Him for good deeds than the first ten days of Zul Hijjah. So on these days increasingly read Subhãnallah, Lã ilãha illallãh, Alhamdulillah and Allahu Akbar." (Musnad Ahmad)

♥ Umm Salamah (May Allah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allah SalAllahu Alyehe Wasallam said, "When anyone of you intends to sacrifice the animal and enter in the month of Zul-Hijjah, he should not get his hair cut or nails pared till he has offered his sacrifice.'' (Reported by Muslim)

Note: Ulama have stated that this includes moustache and hair of the private parts etc. However, if the hair under the arms and in the pubic region is very long (which renders the Salaat Makrooh i.e. more than forty days), then it will become compulsory to remove such hair. However, if a person forgets to clip the nails before the 1st of Dhul Hijjah and the nails have grown so long that they may cause injury, then he may clip them.

★ Virtues of the Day of Arafah (9th Zul Hijjah)

♥ Aboo Qatãdah Al-Ansãri RadiyAllahu Anhu narrated that Rasoolullah SalAllahu Alyehe Wasallam was asked about the fast on the day of Arafah. He said, "It compensates for the sins of the past and the coming year." (Muslim, Tirmizi, Ibne Mãjah)

♥ Ã'ishah RadiyAllahu Anhaa reports that Rasoolullah SalAllahu Alyehe Wasallam said, "There is no day in which Allah sets free more souls from the fire of hell than on the day of Arafah. And on that day Allah draws near to the earth and by way of exhibiting His Pride remarks to the Angels, 'What is the desire of these (servants of mine)?" (Muslim)

♥ Talhah RadiyAllahu Anhu reports that Rasoolullah SalAllahu Alyehe Wasallam said, "Apart from the day of the Battle of Badr there is no day on which the shaytãn is seen to be more humiliated, more rejected, more depressed and more infuriated, than on the day of Arafah, and indeed all this is only because of beholding the abundance of descending Mercy (on the day) and Allah's forgiveness of the great sins of the servants." (Mishkãt)

★ Takbirãt of Tashreeq

The Takbirãt of Tashreeq are:

Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar,
Lã ilãha illallãhu wallahu Akbar,
Allahu Akbar, Walil lahil hamd.

"Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest. There is no deity besides Allah and Allah is the Greatest. Allah is the Greatest and all praises are for Allah only."

It is wãjib for every adult Muslim to recite these Takbirãt of Tashreeq audibly once after every fardh Salaah which is performed with jamã'at (congregation) from the Fajr of 9th Zul Hijjah to the 'Asr of 13th Zul Hijjah (i.e. total of 23 Salãh).

1. To wake up early in the morning.

2. To clean one's teeth with a miswak.

3. To take bath (Ghusl).
