Vegetarianism in Islam

[VegetarianSoul]

Brother, all these injections and hormones are recent inventions and discoveries. They weren't even there 10-20 years ago and still the population was same and the animals had the same capactity to multiply or rather more because these days many animals are dying because of strange new diseases as well.

I saw the video you posted. I completely agree that such behavior with animals should be condemned. And even the Qur'an supports it. Animals are to be slaughtered in a proper way. Any other kind of slaughter is forbidden as stated in the Quran in Surah Maida (Surah # 5), verse 3 :



Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine, and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than Allah. that which hath been killed by strangling, or by a violent blow, or by a headlong fall, or by being gored to death; that which hath been (partly) eaten by a wild animal; unless ye are able to slaughter it (in due form); that which is sacrificed on stone (altars); (forbidden) also is the division (of meat) by raffling with arrows: that is impiety.


I still am looking for information on concept of soul in Islam. IF there is one, then how can all these killings be justified? You say that dead meat is forbidden, arent all animals dead when they get slaughtered, you wrote blood is forbidden, but at the same time no meat can be obtained without shredding atleast a drop of blood

I haven't been able to find the video which I wanted to post.
Inshallah, I'll write it down and post.

You condemn the slaughtering scences from the video I posted, how cruel it is to kill animals and that too for food . In my opinion a slaughter is a slaughter, no matter HOW the animal is killed.

Fine. That is your opinion.

In my family, we try to buy eco-friendly products inshaAllah. I really understand your points and do think they are valid and important.

I mean for example chickens usually have the most horrific conditions, it's really lots of chickens in one small place stuck together and forced to produce eggs and feeded to become fat, then killed. But those eco-friendly products promise the chickens were taken care of in an enviromental passable place for them and such.. What do you think about those kind of eco-friendly products?

I have been vegetarian all my life, I prefer organic and BIO products whenever I can.

Our food is highly polluted in terms of high processing,storage,freezing and preserving methods used...
I dont eat eggs mainy because of my being vegetarian

Also there reasons:

-Its part of birds menstruation cycle, and produced from reproductive organs of bird
-Eggs drop out from exactly the same hole they poop.
-Chicks are confined in cages that does not permit birds to roam,so they cannot fly,move or even stretch their wings
-As for the male chicks, what happens to them?
well, they are collected when hatched and are put in plastic bags where they slowly suffocated to dead

Even in farms, chicks are still limited to the treatment by owners, as "products" and as free as birds should be.

Re: Vegetarian family-Compassion and love


although i acknowledge that some people put animals through torture to eat (and dont agree with it), i will still say that you can still slaughter and eat animals without having to put them through torture...boycotting eating meat due to a few people's irresponsibilities is being a bit much in my opinion...i know i've seen my own family slaughter animals kindly and without causing harm to the animal, as im sure many other people do the same. people need to eat and if there are valid and halal options on getting food, then i don't see why we should deny ourselves from it.

also, lets take into account those societies that don't have the luxury of getting non vegetarian food and very much depend on meat as their staple.

besides meat is good for your body's iron levels...i think :hiding:

Allah has allowed meat and he has forbidden cruelty to animals. So if cruelty is being shown to animals then the responsible authorities should be reported about it. And cruelty is also shown to the animal if its slaughter is not ritually right. In ritual slaughter, the animal has painless instant death because the nerve between the brain and the body is cut and so the animals instantly blacks out without any pain. The body shakes after the slaughter because of the hasty rush of blood out of the body.
And Allah knows best

i was trying because I don't think that the thread will be enough for him. I see these veggies everyday and I know how difficult it is to convince them

I'm a meat minimalist - I believe that Allah (swt) created human beings to eat meat, just not the enormous amount that we eat today.

Meat arouses and increases the sexual drive, so we should eat less of that, especially unmarried brothers.

Can I ask where you got this from?

Jazaak Allah Khayr for brother Saifur-Rahmaan for opening this thread.

Can I ask where you got this from?

:::::::::::

One mineral that is crucial to sex drive is Zinc. It has been referred to as the sex mineral; Zinc not only helps produce testosterone, but also helps to maintain semen volume and adequate levels of testosterone; maintaining sex drive and keeping sperm healthy.

Make sure you get plenty of it from crab, multigrain bread, oysters, red meat and oily fish.
