BUT: ARE MUSLIMS EATING TRUE HALAL TAYYIB MEAT?
Unfortunately: NOT !
The bitter reality today: Muslims are facing many serious problems and concerns regarding HALAL MEAT:
*Most of Dhabh(animal slaughter) is not done according to the Islamic/Prophetic method of DHABH(TAZKIAH):
by Direct/ hand slaughter and without any stunning or mechanical slaughter!
Unfortunately, most Halal meat companies/shops have adopted many western methods in DHABH like stunning(many types) , mechanical slaughter etc..
TAZKIAH/DHABH should be done on a live conscious hearing animal which do not occur if the animal was stunned !!
Remember: There is no single authentic scientific study in the world
which have proved that the direct Prophetic method of DHABH/TAZKIAH
do cause any pain to the animal when DHABH is done properly.
It is easily explained physiologically when the cut is done properly in the neck!
*Consuming halal meat and food is an act of IBADAH(worship) and is a spiritual act.
One may not go to JANNAH/Heaven if he/she has been consuming untrue halal non Tayyib meat and food
Also, his/her Prayers and DUAs might not be accepted
*One FIQH rule :all so called halal meat on the market is not considered halal until it is proven to be TRUE HALAL TAYYIB MEAT!
*Cruelty to animals is inflicted during Dhabh by many Muslims and Arabs in the slaughterhouses due to lack of Islamic knowledge and by not implementing the great animal care and welfare prescribed by the merciful Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to every animal at time of DHABH and during one’s life!
By not handling the animal gently and individually, by using the cruel transport, by not offering the animal food and water before DHABH, by not sharpening the knife properly or by sharpening the knife in front of the animal, and by witnessing the slaughter of other animals and seeing and smelling blood!
(Please see my big article and study on the superior RIGHTS of animals
and on the animal care and welfare in Islam .
I can send you a copy if requested/by E-mail)
*Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) warned us in a Hadith that he will “FIGHT
all those who do animal slaughter different from his humane merciful method of DHABH” as in the use of : Stunning techniques and mechanical slaughter
*Many suppliers of halal meat are not Muslims ,here we have a question mark ? about the true HALALNESS of their sold meat!
*Most of the bodies/meat of the halal animals we eat are NOT TAYYIB: NOT PURE NOT NATURAL NOT ORGANIC and NOT HEALTHY as they contain a lot of antibiotics vaccines harmful toxic chemicals , and hormones … !
* Muslims by and large have FAILED to establish their own TAYYIB (Organic)
Farms :
TAYYIB meat or food is used frequently in the Quran after the word HALAL in many Ayat.
TAYYIB MEAT (natural/organic/fresh/pure/safe…) is a MUST in any halal meat !
*Many animals todayare not given their own natural “Halal diet” like grass and seeds but given some “HARAM DIET” like animal proteins/harmful chemicals to eat !
*Many Muslim suppliers/shops use the world halal when the animals were stunned and do not tell the customers about their use of stunning or mechanical slaughter or how the animal was slaughtered !
*Many “Muslims” selling halal meat have been found as CHEATS AND LIARS Lately a lot of corruption was discovered in the “halal market”
* Most Muslims involved in animal slaughter/selling meat were not properly educated and trained on the Prophetic humane method of direct animal slaughter without any stunning contrary to the good education and strict training among the Jewish community
*HALAL is the most abused and exploited word when most of the meat is not truly halal!
You can sell PORK just by adding the word: Halal !
*There are many Halals meat shops who lack proper hygiene and cleanliness in their shops and in handling meat , which gives a bad image on Islam and Muslims and gives the Muslim consumers a lot of cases of food poisoning!
Poor hygiene was noticed too in most Arab/Muslim slaughterhouses
*Some of the animals sold for halal meat might not be healthy or reject and not checked properly by a vet and unfortunately sold to Muslims !
*Contamination with PORK have been noticed in some slaughterhouses in some cases when the PIGS were slaughtered in the same places where Muslims did their own slaughter!!!
Some halal meat shops in South London were found few years ago selling minced halal meat mixed with PORK, following a scientific analysis of random samples of meat and which was organised by British officials belonging to the UK government?
*The invented STUNNING TECHNIQUES today are used on our innocent voiceless animals in these ways:
-Electric water bath for chicken/poultry
-Electric voltage applied to the sheep, commonly the head
-Guns used on the cow(Captive bolt pistol)
Stunning the animal before DHABH has been found to:
-Kill many animals before the act of DHABH… and are Mitah, they are haram to eat!
-Cause the Muslim consumers to consume blood in the meat which is haram too(Salt and pepper HAEMORRHAGE)
-Cause pain and suffering to animals
-Make the meat unhealthy and not Tayyib by changing the natural chemical safe healthy formula of the meat which was created by Almighty ALLAH
Stunning causes also “SALT AND PEPPER HAEMORRHAGE” ,blood inside the meat/leg which cannot be seen or taken out and unfortunately the blood is consumed by Muslims which is haram and unhealthy to consume!
*More than 40 %of chickens die from the stunning by electric water bath before you do the DHABH and a lot of Muslims are eating dead haram meat as the meat from dead animals before DHABH is forbidden to eat in Islam.
According to previous reports:
About 95% of the poultry/meat eaten by the Muslims comes from STUNNED ANIMALS !!!
* Many Poultry today are killed by: GAS stunning so all the chickens 100% are dead (Mitah)before DHABH this will make all chickens HARAM to eat
We believe that many of these haram poultry are sold in the Muslim market !
*Unfortunately, most halal meat imported to Saudi Arabia(Makkah and Madinah) came from stunned animals slaughtered abroad !
*A large number of Muslims are today ADDICTED TO POULTRY/ MEAT !
They eat MEAT frequently and almost daily !
Colon cancer and many other diseases are linked to the high consumption of meat especially processed meat as stated in a lot of medical studies and reports by WHO.
The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) uses to be semi-vegetarian in his diet.
* Muslim countries should STOP IMPORTING a lot of meat and poultry from the west and from non Muslim countries as almost all meat and poultry imported are doubtful and are NOT TRUE HALAL meat
and NOT TAYYIB ,especially as STUNNING and MECHANICAL slaughter were and are widely used before the animal slaughter and are sold as Halal to Muslims?
Muslim countries have got all the natural resources and farms to do in order to organise their own local supply of meat and poultry and for SELF SUFFICIENCY and without the need to import any any !
A WIDE NATIONAL INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION CAMPAIGN is badly needed today to inform all Muslims especially those Stakeholders Halal meat companies halal shops on the SUPERIORITY AND THE HUMANITY Of the PROPHETIC METHOD OF ANIMAL SLAUGHTER /TAZKIAH WITHOUT STUNNING
STUNNING IS FOUND TO BE CRUEL UNHUMANE AND GIVE US UNHEALTH
UNSAFE MEAT WITH A LOT OF MUHARRAMAT!
A LOT OF SCIENTIFIC MEDICAL STUDIES DONE ESPECIALLY BY THE SCIENTIST JEWS HAVE OPPOSED STRONGLY ANY TYPE OF STUNNING!
BUT THE MUSLIM UMMAH HAVE FAILED TO DO THEIR OWN SCIENTIFIC MEDICAL STUDIES ON THE GREAT PROPHETIC METHOD OF DHABH/TAZKIAH AND ON THE HARMFUL UNHUMANE HARAM METHODS OF STUNNING !
Finally:
Our HOUSE OF TRUE HALAL TAYYIB MEAT TODAY IS BROKEN AND DAMAGED WITH MANY HOLES AND GAPS….
MUSLIMS ALL OVER THE WORLD NEED BADLY TO PUT THEIR
HALAL MEAT HOUSE IN ORDER!
It is good golden opportunity for us in Ramadan to remember and fix all the above problems and concerns which are mentioned above on THIS WORLD HALAL DAY/17 Ramadan so we can start working to sort out all these problems and concerns by next Ramadan in order we all have
Insha’ ALLAH:
TRUE HALAL TAYYIB MEAT consumed by all the Muslims in the world!
