Are you a Vegetarian? Are there benefits?

As-Salāmu `Alaykum (السلام عليكم):

Selective reading and extremism is a choice. The proper thing to do is apply the quote to the referenced article and not the OP. Reading is fundamental. Read every post by OP in thread it may provide clarity on the thread.

Don't read anything into what I said. It was just a bit of trivia. Here's another, by the way: Hitler had the clap.

[IAmZamzam]

is everything alright over there?

I'm gettin' by, in my own way. Kind of can't wait for the month to be over.

Do you have anything on topic to contribute to this thread?

Anything to say? Let's see...I tried vegetarianism once myself. Couldn't make it work for me. I understand that many if not most people can't. The human body is made for an omnivorous diet, so only some of us can manage to go against this mould and still keep healthy and strong. I felt weak all the time. Hard to get truly feasible protein into your muscle mass without any of it coming from meat. No bother. I'm past that now. As I think I've said, I now see no reason why it should be wrong to eat animals but not plants, which are equally alive. To each his own.

Any questions?

Lots. None that have to do with this topic.

A point of view on the benefits of the vegan dietary fare? Anything?

I don't know enough about that particular fare to comment on it.

it is evident when our brothers or sisters are hurting it is revealed in their posts. Dhikr is the cure!

Surah Baqarah 2:152

152. Therefore remember Me (by praying, glorifying, etc.). I will remember you, and be grateful to Me (for My countless Favours on you) and never be ungrateful to Me.
(Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan translation)

Surah Al-A'raf 7:55-56

55. Invoke your Lord with humility and in secret. He likes not the aggressors.

56. And do not do mischief on the earth, after it has been set in order, and invoke Him with fear and hope; Surely, Allah's Mercy is (ever) near unto the good-doers.
(Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan translation)

Surah Ar-Ra'd 13:28

28. Those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism), and whose hearts find rest in the remembrance of Allah, Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.
(Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan translation)

Surah Ghafir 40:60

60. And your Lord said: "Invoke Me, [i.e. believe in My Oneness (Islamic Monotheism)] (and ask Me for anything) I will respond to your (invocation). Verily! Those who scorn My worship [i.e. do not invoke Me, and do not believe in My Oneness, (Islamic Monotheism)] they will surely enter Hell in humiliation!"
(Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan translation)

Surah Al Imran 3:159

159. And by the Mercy of Allah, you dealt with them gently. And had you been severe and harsh-hearted, they would have broken away from about you; so pass over (their faults), and ask (Allah's) Forgiveness for them; and consult them in the affairs. Then when you have taken a decision, put your trust in Allah, certainly, Allah loves those who put their trust (in Him).
(Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan translation)

Surah Yunus 10:57

57. O mankind! There has come to you a good advice from your Lord (i.e. the Qur'an, ordering all that is good and forbidding all that is evil), and a healing for that (disease of ignorance, doubt, hypocrisy and differences, etc.) in your breasts, - a guidance and a mercy (explaining lawful and unlawful things, etc.) for the believers.
(Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan translation)

Sahih Bukhari Volume 9,Book 93, Number 652

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "(There are) two words which are dear to the Beneficent (Allah) and very light (easy) for the tongue (to say), but very heavy in weight in the balance. They are: 'Subhan Allah wa-bi hamdihi' and 'Subhan Allah Al-'Azim." (See Hadith No. 673, Vol. 8).

The human body is made for an omnivorous diet, so only some of us can manage to go against this mould and still keep healthy and strong.

This is why its good to keep a balance; eating both, vegetarian and non-vegetarian foods.

http://www.webmd.com/balance/natural-colon-cleansing-is-it-necessary

No; its neither required for omnivores, nor vegans. Some people fast for a number of days during the year, which helps to detoxify and clean out junk from the colon, as well as detox in the liver. Anyone educated in biosciences may give a better explanation :inshallah

As for colon cleansing using powders; those from India or Pakistan maybe familiar with the well known kachoor (white turmeric). Turmeric's an indian favourite in cooking and medicinal herbalism, which is "quite good" for the human digestive system. As long as too much isn't taken, there's not much risk of harm.

Independent view of benefits and nutrient deficiencies of meat and non-meat diets.

As-Salāmu `Alaykum (السلام عليكم):

An independent view of the benefits and nutrient deficiencies of both meat and non-meat diets.

The contribution of vegetarian diets to health and disease: a paradigm shift?

Joan Sabaté

1 From the Department of Nutrition, School of Public Health, Loma Linda University, Loma Linda, CA.

Advances in nutrition research during the past few decades have changed scientists’ understanding of the contribution of vegetarian diets to human health and disease. Diets largely based on plant foods, such as well-balanced vegetarian diets, could best prevent nutrient deficiencies as well as diet-related chronic diseases. However, restrictive or unbalanced vegetarian diets may lead to nutritional deficiencies, particularly in situations of high metabolic demand. If some vegetarian diets are healthier than diets largely based on animal products, this constitutes an important departure from previous views on dietary recommendations to prevent disease conditions. Based on different paradigms, 3 models are presented depicting the population health risks and benefits of vegetarian and meat-based diets. This series of models encapsulates the evolution of scientific understanding on the overall effects of these dietary patterns on human health. Recent scientific advances seem to have resulted in a paradigm shift: diets largely based on plant foods, such as well-balanced vegetarian diets, are viewed more as improving health than as causing disease, in contrast with meat-based diets.

Re: Independent view of benefits and nutrient deficiencies of meat and non-meat diets

One problem I see arising in many industrialized nations is the raising of food has taken a back seat and meat production has become run as a factory and is no longer a farm raised product. The result is meat loaded down with antibiotics, hormones and many other products. The result is a large increase of meat that is not only haram, it is not fit for dog food. This is bringing about an increase in vegetarianism not only among Muslims but among non-Muslims also. Look at the neat packages of meat in the supermarket and then look at the road it came down, to be that neat clean looking package and you will find out it is often not fit to eat.

I agree.
This is just yet another proof that Islam is the straight true path.
As only the creator of the universe that have knowledge what is good for us and what is bad for us.

through prophet Muhammad SAW, Allah taught us what is allowed to eat and what is not allowed.
For example, cattle fed with meat is definitely haram.
Now in modern days, we know how true it is.
Just have a look at mad cow disease, how it was caused by cows fed with their own brethren carcasses.

There is always wisdom in islamic injunctions, some we know of, many we still don't know.

contrast that to any other religion where "be merry, be joyful, enjoy everything and anything as your sins have been erased" and see the results in a society that practice that mantra.

Allah's Apostle said, "Amongst the trees, there is a tree, the leaves of which do not fall and is like a Muslim. Tell me the name of that tree." Everybody started thinking about the trees of the desert areas. And I thought of the date-palm tree but felt shy to answer the others then asked, "What is that tree, O Allah's Apostle ?" He replied, "It is the date-palm tree."

I am a vegetarian! I have been one for almost 10 years now. Do I miss meat? Well I cant even remember the proper taste! Lolz! It is hard sometimes... especially since my family is like hardcore southerners and eat a bunch of bbq and stuff! And I really don't eat healthily :c I am not fat or anything.. probably under nutrition if anything, but I don't really get to eat different foods and I become "discouraged" from eating if there is nothing for me to eat! Like I went to Georgia this summer and lost like 5lbs cause there was only pork and beef there xD. But there are awesome vegetarian dishes... my fave is falafels! Oh my dear! How these are sooooo good!

Ukhti Xena:


If you pay for your own food there is no limitations on what you can eat. Name a cuisine and there is a non meat substitute that is tasty. I couldn't even be in the company of the smell of pork. Makes my stomach ache.

Italian, Chinese, American and Especially Middle Eastern.


This is what you could have eaten when exposed to the smell of the barbecue:


Vegetarian Black Bean Burgers with Cornmeal on the barbecue.



Recipe:

• ingredient 2 15 ounce cans black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1/2 cup whole wheat or all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1/2 cup salsa
• 2 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp garlic salt
• hamburger buns

Preparation:

Place beans in food processor; process until fairly smooth. Add flour, cornmeal, salsa, cumin and garlic salt. Process until well combined.


Spoon mixture into 6 balls on a large plate and refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours before cooking.

Heat barbecue grill or ridged grill pan over medium heat. Coat grill or pan lightly with oil. Form each ball into a 4-inch patty about 1/2-inch thick. Place the patties on the grill or in pan and cook until browned and heated through, 4 to 5 minutes per side.

I'm a vegetarian now. I did it for years while I was in high school and recently I had to do it again.

My doctors weren't sure what happened but whatever they're doing with meat these days wasn't working too well with me. I was very ill for months and my doctors didn't know what was causing it exactly. The only thing was the meat that I was eating. Once I took meat out of my diet, I was healthy again.

So far I enjoy it! I feel much better.
