ANIMALS IN ISLAM AND THEIR RIGHTS/Animal care and welfare

ANIMALS IN ISLAM AND THEIR RIGHTS
ANIMAL CARE AND WELFARE IN ISLAM

In Islam we are taught that…

-God Almighty has created/ made, mankind, animals and all the universe.

-Man is the Vicegerent of GOD/khalifah and is placed in charge of all the creatures like animals

-This status gives man a great responsibility/accountability and he should be caring for what
is placed under his control.

– Man was created directly from dust/sand,Animals were created separately,
This means that:
Darwin Theory is a theory/a myth and is not correct!
Evolution of man from animals is not a true fact and is not accepted in Islam
But some “evolution” did occurs in the same species: in both:man and animals.
Muslims believe in the unique separate creation of each species.

– Each animal should be treated with gentlness and respect,love and care.(RIFQ)

-The Holy Book: AL QUR’AN and the Sayings/AHADITH and the behaviour of the final prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him) contain a lot of details on ANIMALS and how to treat them?

– Several chapters in the Holy Book AL QUR’AN are named/titled after the animals or some insects,for example: the COW(biggest chapter),The Cattle,The Ant,The Bees,The Spider, The Elephant … and many other animals which were mentioned include :sheep, goat, camel, horse, donkey, fish, birds,frog,monkey,whale and so on..

-Every kind of animal is a COMMUNITY like us,according to the Qur’an.
(“THERE IS NO ANIMAL ON EARTH,NOR BIRD WHICH FLIES ON WINGS,BUT THEY ARE
COMMUNITIES LIKE YOU!
WE HAVE NEGLECTED NOTHING IN THE BOOK,THEN TO THEIR LORD THEY WILL BE GATHERED!”) Chapter 6/verse 38

COMMUNITY means that each kind of animal(& insect), has its own unique way of eating, sleeping, reproduction, language, recreation, social life, feelings, needs (culture
and habits…) which should be studied, respected ,protected then fully facilitated!
(Communities of :horse,sheep,cow,birds,whale,seal,monkey,dog,fish,chicken,bear,donkey,spider,bees,
elephant,cat,butterfly etc….)

-Every animal praises God the Creator…!(each has his/her own way of serving
and praising God(prayer)..but we do not understand it,as mentioned in the
QUR’AN).

-Animals have got souls.

-Animals will be raised on the Day of Judgment, man will be questioned by
God, if he/she has mistreated any animal in their life and justice will be
given to every animal and punishment for the wrong doer…!

-Many animals go to Heaven!

-In Islam, Muslims are ordered to give each animal:
his/her RIGHTS:
-natural food(no animal protein to the vegeterian animals which we do eat,no Genetically modified food…) and to protect them from any filthy harmful food/chemicals…
-water( natural/safe)
– natural conception/pregnancy,offsprings ,motherhood and breast feeding
-security/shelter and safety and protection from wild carniverous animals
-protection from cold/rain/drought…
-To be used for what GOD has created it( its natural function):for example not to ride a cow.. but ride a horse.
-to be treated when affected by any illness.(vet)
-to live among its own community/society.
-freedom to some extent: access to sun air space and opportunity for: flying jumping and playing(recreation).
-Healthy living:no bad unnatural diet,no hormones and antibiotics no dangerous chemicals.
-right for its “complaint and be heard”!
-right to have justice especially on the Day of Judgment
-right for a gentle humane care and welfare.

THE 5 FREEDOMS OF THE FARM ANIMAL WELFARE COUNCIL ARE GRANTED AND GUARANTEED TO EVERY ANIMAL IN ISLAM:

Freedom from hunger and thirst,freedom from discomfort,freedom from pain injury and disease,freedom to express normal behaviour,freedom from fear and distress
(these RIGHTS and Freedoms, are based on some verses in the Holy BOOK AL QUR’AN and some AHADITH/Sayings and stories which occured with the prophet Muhammad,peace be upon him/see later)

(also if you look and search the internet,you will find :

Under ANIMAL CARE AND WELFARE IN ISLAM: 1,090,000 sites/studies
Under ANIMAL RIGHTS IN ISLAM : 4,610,000 sites/studies .
This is true mainly in domestic animals and the animals which we are allowed to
eat and consume.(but other wild animals to be protected in their own communities)

-Any cruelty/harsh treatment or infliction of pain to any animal is forbidden in Islam and is a SIN and is punishable,as in fox hunting, bull fighting, cock fighting, factory farming, caging/imprisoning, painful unnecessary vivisection/ most animal experiments, cloning,stunning before slaughter, hitting, deprivation from food or water, carrying heavy weight, misuse and abuse(e.g use as target to hit/shoot at),branding , docking of dogs tails, maternal deprivation, the cruel seal hunting,exposure to cold/rain/hot weather…etc

-Keeping every kind of animal alive / protection of the species, is recommended in Islam, as done in Noah’s Ark before!(Preservationof the species).

-A person can go to Heaven/Paradise even for just providing food/drink to a
needy animal!

A person can go to Hell just because of cruelty or food deprivation to an animal ! (as stated by the prophet Muhammad,peace be upon him).

-There is a reward in offering food or water to any animal,as the prophet said!

-The prophet MUHAMMAD(peace be upon him)/the teacher: here is some STORIES in brief from his life:

* Was angry one day when he discovered a mother bird distressed
and agitated because someone had taken her babies and he said: “who has distressed
this mother by taking her babies! give her back her babies..!”
*Was angry when a cat was locked inside the house and died from starvation?
He said the owner is in hell!
*Defended a weak camel who was suffering and in tears and complaining … he told the owner:fear Allah with this animal..do not make him hungry or suffer..!
*Cursed who use the animal as a target to shoot at.
*Prohibited the hitting of the animal especially on the face!
*Prohibited to provoke fight between animals,as in cock fighting.
*Opposed the use the animal for different function,like riding the cow…
*Opposed the harsh cruel pulling of a sheep from the ears..
* Treated a sick dog…
*Opened the door for a cat,who was scratching it, while he was in prayer..
*Opposed the burning of a colony of aunts..(burning any animal or man are forbidden)
*Changed the direction of the army one day to a different road ,when he saw on his way a dog in labour/ giving birth , and tried to avoid disturbing her…!
* Gave many Sayings/Ahadith ,ordering us to treat each animal gently,with utmost care and welfare…as the way to Heaven..!

We should not forget also that the prophet Muhammad himself was a shepherd and he looked very well after the sheeps..with best care and welfare(organic natural farming);
etc……etc…..

-The Khalifah (president) Omar Bin Khattab, used to say:

” I will be worried if I will be punished on the Day of Judgment when the animals complain to GOD that they could not walk properly on the roads during their lives
because Khalifah Omar did not fix/smooth the road for them!”

-In early Islam:A charitable trust (WAQF) was established in order to look after
animals,especially those homeless, injured or disabled animals…!

-Abu Hourayrah one of the most famous companions of the prophet
Muhammad(peace be upon him) and narrators of Hadith/prophet’s sayings,used to look after kitten/hourayrah..this is why he was called Abu Hourayrah(the father of kittens).

-Treating a sick animal is a duty on every muslim and is highly rewarded!

– Killing an animal for food, should be done quickly, painlessly and
without any suffering ( as it happens in Religious slaughter, without
the use of any stunning )/please see separate scientific religious articles on stunning.
It is an order by the prophet Muhammad,when someone is killing an animal(domestic/wild),to do it PAINLESSLY and without causing any pain or torture to the animal before final death..

-pork/porcine substance and carniverous animals are prohibited to eat.

-Cats can be kept inside the house as a domestic pet,but not dogs…as they are NAJIS/unclean,cause some diseases,bites and injuries and deaths,noise/complaints/court cases and many other marietal/family problems.
However a person can go to Heaven for providing water to a thirsty deprived dog…according to the prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him)….

( ALL THESE ARE THE BELIEFS OF 1400 MILLION MUSLIMS IN THE WORLD!)

Now there is a great need to establish here in the UK/ West :
Islamic organisations for animal care and welfare and Islamic animal rights organisations which are based on the rich sources of the Holy Islamic Scriptures:

Because: many Muslims/and most non Muslims, do not know or are not aware of the fascinating Rights and the welfare of the animals in Islam …and because animals today are suffering a lot of CRUELTY and ABUSE in our society!

British muslims(about two million), should join also the many animal welfare organisations who are campaigning sincerely for the welfare and care of the animals,and should join in many of their campaigns and activities like:

The Royal Society for the Protection of Animals(RSPCA)
Farm Animal Welfare Council
Compassion in world farming
International fund for Animal welfare
etc………

Halal Comm Lobby

Published 01/03/2022 / by admin

 

UK HALAL COMMISSION LAUNCHED

4th June 2012

• Muslim Council launches new halal food lobby

• Will defend halal slaughter methods

All halal foods (those permitted under Islamic dietary guidelines) will now be regulated by a new overarching body, the UK Halal Commission.

Launched on Saturday, 2nd June 2012 at a special gathering of imams, scholars and health and food industry associations, the UK Halal Commission will act as the UK’s premier halal organisation, defending the halal industry from recent attacks and lobbying media and government.

False charges

At the Muslim Council (MCB)-sponsored event at Birmingham Central Mosque, the meeting signed a historic communiqué, the ‘Birmingham Declaration’.

The Declaration underlined concern at attempts by pressure groups to change the law, potentially removing the exemption which allows religious communities such as Jews and Muslims to slaughter animals without stunning. The Declaration affirmed the Muslim community’s resolve to resist these attempts and to campaign against them.

The document went on to declare that criticism of religious slaughter – that it causes more pain – is false. It said that no other method of slaughter was more humane than halal, provided proper standards were maintained.

In addition to vigorously campaigning against any change to the current definition of religious slaughter, the new Commission will develop an ‘assurance scheme’ to ensure strict adherence to animal welfare and other halal standards. It will also address wider issues relating to training, education, food ingredients, and pharmaceuticals.

Lobbying

The meeting was addressed by Farooq Murad, Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain, Dr Mohammed Naseem, Chairman Birmingham Central Mosque, Dr Ahmad Makhdoom, Director World Muslim League, Dr A Majid Katme,Spokesman Islamic Medical Association, Haji Akram, Association of Non-stun Abattoirs, Mawlana Yunus Dudhwala, Halal Monitoring Committee, Rafiq Sehgal, Bradford Council for Mosques, Mawlana Israr Hussain Kazmi, Hussainia Mosque, Birmingham and representatives of other organisations.

Speakers at the Commission launch discussed creating an extensive awareness campaign, starting with the Muslim community itself: the Friday mosque sermon (Khutba) will be used to encourage demand by Muslim consumers for ‘un-stunned’ chicken and meat.

MCB’s deputy secretary general Dr Shuja Shafi said, “Consumers of halal food need to be confident that their food is prepared to high standards of safety, animal welfare and environmental protection. Schemes such as Red Tractor Assurance, intended to maintain, develop and promote standards throughout the whole food industry do not permit ‘halal’ food operators to participate in the scheme on grounds that the meat is slaughtered by the (permissible and legal) religious method. This is despite the assertion in their promotional material ‘whatever your business, find out what Red Tractor can do for you’. The UK Halal Commission will work to develop a credible Assurance Scheme for halal food and in other sectors.”

The UK Halal Commission will now invite representatives from all segments of the British Muslim community to put forward representations to the body. Convenor of the Birmingham meeting, the MCB’s deputy secretary general Dr. Shuja Shafi, will act as interim chairman to help put in place a proper governance structure.”

Halal In Ramadan

Published 01/03/2022 / by admin

 

THE IMPORTANCE OF EATING GENUINE HALAL TAYYIB MEAT AND FOODS
IN RAMADAN

A BRIEF FOR THE IMAMS OF THE MOSQUES/UK TO READ AT COMING FRIDAY PRAYER

In the Name of ALLAH,the most Compassionate the most Merciful

“O YOU PEOPLE ! EAT OF WHAT IS HALAL(lawful) AND TAYYIB(pure/natural) ON THE EARTH,AND DO NOT FOLLOW SATAN’s FOOTSTEPS,VERILY HE IS TO YOU AN OPEN ENEMY !”
(Surah 2(Al baqarah),verse 168)

*Islam is a whole way of life and we have all Islamic details on foods:Halal meat and Halal foods,Haram foods and drinks,how to eat and when to eat etc……?

*For genuine Halal meat/poultry: Our teacher and model,Sayyidna Muhammad(peace be upon him) has told us and has shown us :how to do Dhabh/Zabh(animal slaughter) and he warned us in a Hadith in case one deviate from his humane Prophetic method,as in the use today of many stunning/torture techniques(electric shock for sheeps,electric water bath for poultry and Captive bolt pistol for cows) which are adopted widely by the non Muslims in the UK/Europe and unfortunately by most Muslim/non Muslim companies who supply most so called Halal meat/poultry to most Halal shops and Muslim restaurants?

Although the law in Britain allows Muslims(& Jews) to slaughter their animals according to their religion/Prophetic method and without the use of any stunning technique.?

New Medical scientific knowledge onthe effects of stunning on the animal have shown many HARAM OUTCOMES, apart from inflicting pain and cruelty on the animal:

Some animals die from stunning like the poultry(33%)….this is MITAH and is Haram to eat even when the throat was cut after.

There is less bleeding out after stunning and some blood stays inside the meat itself.

Blood is harmful to health and Haram to consume.

Stunning the cow has been found to spread Mad cow disease(BSE) too….

The Official Muslim view in the UK:
Halal meat/poultry is only in the Prophetic method of Dhabh and without the use of any stunning before Dhabh or mechanical slaughter.
ALL MUSLIM BELIEVERS SHOULD MAKE SURE THAT THE MEAT/ CHICKEN THEY ARE EATING ARE NOT COMING FROM STUNNED ANIMALS, AND THAT THEY ARE GENUINE HALAL MEAT SLAUGHTERED ACCORDING TO THE PROPHETIC METHOD OF DHABH(direct method with Tasmiah on each animal),ESPECIALLY IN THIS HOLY MONTH OF RAMADAN.
IT IS A DUTY ON EVERY ONE OF US to make sure of Halal!

Unfortunately it was found in many reports/studies that in about 90% of the meat/poultry in halal shops and restaurants,the animals were stunned before:NOT GENUINE HALAL AND MANY MIGHT CONTAIN MUHARRAMAT!

Another order in the Qur’an is to eat also only: TAYYIB MEAT/FOODS AND DRINKS.
Unfortunately , most of the meat/poultry we eat today is not Tayyib?
The animal body, in most cases, is full of: antibiotics,hormones,harmful chemicals from vaccines, fed:GM diet , unnatural diet or animal protein?

Also most FOODS today is not Tayyib!
As it is not natural or wholesome , is full of chemicals and additives,processed and is considered as junk foods and is very unhealthy!

*For Halal foods and drinks:
We are aware today of many HARAM ingredients in many foods and drinks on the market (bread,biscuit,icecream etc…) like:
Gelatin or fat from pork,alcohol etc…

Besides,many foods items contain many HARAM ADDITIVES/E NUMBERS(Emulsifiers,colouring…) like:E 120,E 140,E 471,E 472…..
Every Muslim believer should CHECK AND DOUBLE CHECK AND READ THE INGREDIENTS WRITTEN ON EVERY FOOD/DRINK ITEM
IN THE SUPERMARKET BEFORE BUYING IT!

Vegeterian food(without any animal protein), can be eaten but only after making sure that they contain no alcohol and does not contain any Haram harmful additives or GM ingredients..

Finally,let us all remember these worrying facts in case any one eat any haram meat or food or drink:
*Du’as will not be accepted
*Ibadat/Salat will not be accepted for 40 days
*The Muslim will not enter Jannah/Heaven .

We have to remember here the parent’s big responsibility in avoiding the feeding of their young developping children any Haram food item,especially, as their bodies and organs are developping from the foods they eat?

FATAWAS AGAINST STUNNING AND MECHANICAL SLAUGHTER

Published 01/03/2022 / by admin

Welcome Halal Tayyib Meat Online

Subject: FATAWAS against stunning and mechanical slaughter

Title: What Constitutes Halal Meat?

Article:

With regards to meat that is not slaughtered according to Islamic rites, (Quran 6:121, 2:168, 5:3, 6:145) Dr Ahmad Sakr, expert on Halal certification in USA, says it is not Halal because of the effect electric shock has on blood drainage. Using electric shock, explains Sakr, means that all of the animal’s blood does not leave its body, because electric shock affects the central nervous system. It is Haram to eat meat containing blood, as it is clearly stated in the Quran that Muslims cannot consume blood. "Halal is Halal if the following conditions are taken into consideration," explains Sakr.

The first is that the animal is itself is Halal. That means no pork, for instance.

The second, is that the food the animal consumes does not contain any blood or meat. Sakr explains that the animal has to be herbivorous to be Halal, and adds that an animal becomes Haram if it consumes blood and /or meat.

The third condition Sakr lists for an animal to be Halal is that it should not be given any hormones.

In the meat industry, he says beef and chicken are given female sex hormones. This is meant to increase the weight of the animal in a short period of time.

The effect of consuming an animal with injected female hormones is a reduction in the masculine appearance of boys and men and Sakr mentioned "KFC and and MacDonald’s" as two examples. The meat industry also puts the preservatives nitrite or nitrate in meat. These react with the amino group of amino acids of the meat or protein to produce nitroso-amine. This is red pigment. This results in meat still looking red in its color, as if it is fresh, even if it has been on the shelf for one or two weeks. While this may be good for industry, it causes cancer.

A point to note is all KFC chickens labeled "certified Halal" in Muslim countries are slaughtered by Muslims by reciting Bismillah-Allah-hu-Akbar during the process. Birds are slaughtered manually and not mechanically.

Mufti Ebrahim Desai, Darul Ifta, Madrasah In’aamiyyah, Camperdown, South Africa explains mechanical slaughter is of three types:

1- Chickens are transported to the place of slaughter through a conveyer belt and are manually slaughtered. If there is certainty that the chicken is alive and the Muslim slaughterer recites the name of Allah upon slaughtering, then the chicken is Halal. In this case, only the transportation is mechanical but the slaughtering is manual. This procedure is unanimously permissible and recommended.

2- Chickens are transported by means of the conveyer belt to the mechanical slaughter blade. Once the mechanical plant comes into operation, the blade also comes into operation and cuts the chicken. This procedure is not permissible. It does not matter if the plant and the blades are controlled together or separately.

3- The chickens are transported by means of the conveyer belt to many slaughter blades and every blade is controlled separately by a Muslim who recites the name of Allah upon effecting the mechanical slaughter. This procedure conforms to the principles of Sharée Zabh set out by the Fuqahaa. According to our knowledge, such a procedure does not yet exist.

"Except that which you slaughter." Quran 5:3. implies that the slaughterer himself has to hold the knife and recite the prayer and merely praying over a mechanical knife is unlawful. Justice Maulana Mufti M. Taqi Usmani Member Shariat appellate Bench, Supreme Court of Pakistan; Deputy Chairman, Islamic Fiqh Academy (OIC) Jeddah; Vice-President, Darul-Uloom Karachi, Pakistan states that each chicken must have an independent recitation of the prayer and whenever the entire neck is severed it will be considered foul and reprehensible. Mufti Allah Bakhsh Jami’at ul Uloom il Islamiyyah, Allama Banuri Town, Karachi, Pakistan differentiates between shooting an arrow whilst praying and that of praying over a machine; the former is done out of helplessness where generally arrows kill the animal, unlike the manual slaughter where one has the full control and ease.

The Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America, among the few U.S. groups that certify halal producers, who authorized more than 200 North American businesses, ranging from small producers to corporations whose product lines include goods for export to Muslim countries, have conditioned having a Muslim Supervisor throughout these operations, including while transporting the certified meat and preparing it in restaurants, since only his word could be taken legally.

In addition meat done by Christians and Jews may be Kosher but not necessarily Halal since they differ at times in terms of alcohol content, meat derivatives and L-cystein produced from human hair.

Kosher foods may contain alcohol, gelatin prepared from swine, animal fat not slaughtered in God’s name. All of these are definitely anti-Halal. Halal foods must come from animals that were slaughtered while Muslims pronounce the name of Allah or His Oneness. Just No electric shocks, No machine blades.
