MEDIA RELEASE                                                              15 June 2015

RAMADAN IS THE MONTH TO  MAKE SURE WE ARE EATING  TRUE HALAL TAYYIB MEAT  COMING FROM TRUE HALAL DHABH/ZABIHA
(Prophetic method) WITHOUT THE USE OF ANY STUNNINGWHY ISLAM AND MUSLIMS OPPOSE ANY TYPE OF STUNNING OF THE ANIMAL IN ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS SLAUGHTER?ISLAM ORDERS US TO DO HALAL DHABH/ZABIHA(Prophetic method)  FOR TRUE HALAL TAYYIB MEAT  without the use of any stunning!
 
THE NEW INVENTED STUNNING TECHNIQUES(torture techniques) USED BY THE NON MUSLIMS IN THE WEST BEFORE ANIMAL SLAUGHTER:
-Electrified water bath for poultry/chickens(Electrocution)
-Captive bolt pistol(gun) for the cows
-Electrocution applied to the heads of the sheep
Unfortunately ,most halal  muslim business companies  in the UK , are adopting these cruel harmful torture techniques , which can lead to many Haram outcomes , despite been allowed to do  our own Dhabh/Zabiha as Muslims ,without the use of stunning ,  and as stated in the British law!
IT IS LEGAL TO DO OUR ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS ANIMAL SLAUGHTER WITHOUT STUNNING!
Most halal shops and halal restaurants sell and provide THIS “NON HALAL” NON TAYYIB MEAT
in the name of HALAL? …THE BIGGEST CHEAT TO MUSLIMS!
WHY ISLAM AND MUSLIMS OPPOSE ANY TYPE OF STUNNING OF THE ANIMAL IN THE  ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS SLAUGHTER?
-Medical studies (EEG studies/Electric recording of the brain)( & common sense) have shown the CRUELTY and the PAIN and   suffering to the animal do occur if  the animal is stunned?
-Medical physiological knowledge about the effects of the cut/Dhabh on the animal(blood vessels/blood/brain sensation)  have proved that it is “PAINLESS”  
This is explained easily by understanding the physiology of the act of the Zabiha/cut and the effects on the brain/blood pressure/sensation..(a little medical knowledge will help)
MANY MUHARRAMAT(Forbidden) DO RESULT FROM STUNNING:-Stunning have been found to KILL some animals especially the poultry(about 33%-40% before Dhabh)/according to FAWC(Farm Animal Welfare Council) .This is MITAH (Dead animal before Dhabh)and is  haram to eat.(unfortunately dead with non dead animals from stunning are all mixed together?)-Stunning causes  WEAKENING OF THE HEART and less bleeding out  inside the meat?So Muslims are consuming BLOOD (Damm)which is forbidden in Islam and very unhealthy too.
According to medical studies:
The electricity of stunning do cause the rupture of the small blood vessels/capillaries INSIDE THE MEAT , called scientifically: “SALT AND PEPPER HAEMORRHAGE” so  the blood( which is unseen and inside the meat ) is consumed with the meat.???-Stunning makes the meat NOT TAYYIB/NOT NATURAL/NOT WHOLESOME , as it disrupts the natural chemical formula/ingredients of the meat which is  normally healthy to eat 
If the animal was not  stunned.-Captive Bolt pistol to stun the cows have been found to spread BSE/Mad cow disease Many states in the US  have stopped using it-Scientific medical studies have shown the importance of hearing the Name of ALLAH(Tasmiah) at time of Dhabh  by the animal who should be fully conscious and fully hearing .It was found that TASMIAH acts like tranquilliser/sedative to both: the animal and the slaughtermanand PURIFY the meat from germs/bacteria !(Many videos are available)In stunning: the animal is unconscious and can not hear.???-Almost all   Muftis Muslim  scholars and Ulamas have given the FATAWAS against  the use of stunning,  in a poll done by  Halal Monitoring Committee (HMC ) in the UK: at least about 90% of Muftis/Ulamas and scholars  in the UK opposed stunning)-Stunning of the poultry is clearly prohibited in the Qur’an, when the heads of the innocent chickens are forcibly immersed in electrified  water bath???Some chickens will die from STRANGULATION( MUNQUANIQAH )/drowning  which is mentioned in the Qur’an.
The government’s  figures before: 33% of chickens die in stunning and before doing the cut
(now it is 41%)  ?.-The OFFICIAL MUSLIM VIEW IN BRITAIN, Like the Muslim Council of Britain and hundreds of Muslim organisations and mosques…  TRUE HALAL MEAT IS THE ONE WHICH CAME FROM UNSTUNNED ANIMALS( Through PROPHETIC method of Dhabh/Religious slaughter)-Dhabh without stunning is LEGAL in Britain and we Muslims(as well as the Jews) have been given exemption from using stunning(WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE THIS LAW AND FACILITY HERE IN BRITAIN but unfortunately many muslim businessmen/companies  have insisted on stunning  and their meat/chickens are in almost most halal shops and Muslim  restaurants )
 -Many HEALTH HAZARDS have been found in stunned animals:Consumption of blood,BSE/Mad Cow disease ,  not Tayyib meat ,unhealthy meat etc…
Besides, the animals going for stunning in the abattoirs suffer  today from a lot of STRESS/ANXIETY AND FEAR….which was found medically to give us “poisonous”  unhealthy meat!
-The same method of DHABH/Zabiha  was practiced by all Prophets of ALLAH : Abraham/Moses/Jesus and Muhammad(peace be upon them)…The same HUMANE method.
Jesus peace be upon him, ate only KOSHER/HALAL meat( from unstunned animal)
We are with all technology,animal welfare,hygiene and regulations ..but the ACT OF Religious slaughter/ZABIHA is holy/divine  and fixed permanently for all times and no one have the right to change it/interfere with it or adopt any western  un-islamic method of animal slaughter.-Alhamdulillah the Muslim consumers  in Britain/Europe/abroad have waken up to the importance of eating true halal meat without  the use of stunning(MORE MUSLIM CONSUMERS DEMANDING IT) ,as shown in the National licensing/stamping of unstunned animals by the organisation:
Halal Monitoring Committee(HMC): Website: www.halalmc.org
-More important , the final prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him) has said in an authentic Hadith/saying :Narrated by Anas Bib Malik:
Allah’s Apostle said, “I have been ordered to fight the people till they ………………. “and slaughter as we slaughter”/Zabiha, then their blood and property will be sacred to us….
At the end of the Hadith ,The prophet  Muhammad(pbuh)  mentioned  that THE MUSLIM is the one who  prays  like us and eats  our Zabiha”(unstunned meat)
 Ref: Sahih Al Bukhari 1:8:387
 
ALL TYPES OF STUNNING SHOULD BE OPPOSED FOR A LOT OF REASONS:
-Humane / animal welfare reasons
-Health reasons
-Economic reasons(more demands today for unstunned meat/Barakah)
-Consumers reasons/demands
-Religious reasons/demands 
-Safety reasons(no electricity/no bullets/no pistol…)
-Practicality/simplicity reasons…Can be done easily without too many equipments
– And Legal reasons according to the law in Britain: Is LEGAL for Muslims to do their religious slaughter for Halal meat without stunning.
ALL MUSLIMS SHOULD FEAR ALLAH ESPECIALLY IN RAMADAN AND TRY TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE EATING AND FEEDING THEIR INNOCENT CHILDREN/FAMILIES TRUE HALAL TAYYIB MEAT
COMING FROM UNSTUNNED ANIMALS.
It is DOUBLY SINFUL  and  some meat are HARAM (dead before Dhabh/Blood inside …)
 
 SOME WEBSITES AGAINST STUNNING:

 We like to request to all the Muslims especially in this blessed month of Ramadan
TO CHECK/DOUBLE CHECK they are really eating TRUE HALAL MEAT from unstunned animals
(Prophetic method of Dhabh/Zabiha).
You can find out easily the places of Halal  meat shops and halal meat restaurants by going
to the website of Halal Monitoring Committee(HMC) which is based in Leicester:
Just look on the front of the certified  halal shops/restaurants ,you will see a yellow POSTER: HMC: HALAL MONITORING COMMITTEE
But be aware that some Halal meat shops/restaurants  do CHEAT after having a license from HMC and buy cheap non halal meat and chicken and mix it with the  Halal ones?
Sometimes some Halal shops(not licensed by HMC) sell  true halal meat    after they themselves slaughtered their   animals without stunning.
WE HUMBLY APPEAL TO ALL MOSQUES IN BRITAIN/ABROAD TO OFFER ONLY TRUE HALAL TAYYIB MEAT(from unstunned animals) FOR IFTAR/WEDDING/AQIQAH etc…
FINALLY WE BADLY NEED TODAY TRUE TAYYIB MEAT AND HALAL (  organic/wholesome) coming from natural organic farms.
Tayyib is the second requirement after Halal for meat to consume by the Muslims.
Non Muslims are moving more to organic farms(Tayyib)  for health reasons
UNFORTUNATELY ALMOST ALL MUSLIMS (Halal shops/restaurants) HAVE NEGLECTED THIS BASIC ISLAMIC REQUIREMENT: TAYYIB   TAYYIB  TAYYIB meat.
There is one Muslim organic farm close to London which do not stun  the animals and have free range animals/chicken(Tayyib)  : ZUSS FARM
Go to their website: www.freerangehalalmeat.co.uk
We have  all to remember at the end:
ALL MUSLIMS ARE REQUESTED TOO TO:
-Consume  only   Halal foods and Drinks
-Have Halal housing
-Have Halal finance
– Have Halal  relationship
-Have  Halal medicine

MUSLIMS IN BRITAIN ALLOWED TO CARRY ON WITH THEIR RELIGIOUS ANIMAL SLAUGHTER WITHOUT STUNNING!

Published / by admin
    FOR PUBLICATION                                23/March/05
 
    MUSLIMS  IN BRITAIN ARE ARE ALLOWED AGAIN TO CARRY ON WITH THEIR RELIGIOUS  ANIMAL SLAUGHTER WITHOUT STUNNING!
Department for Environment,Food and Rural Affairs(DEFRA), which is a Government body, has  issued its NEWS RELEASE on the 8th March/2005 titled:
GOVERNMENT RESPONSE TO THE FARM ANIMAL WELFARE COUNCIL’S(FAWC) REPORT ON WELFARE AT SLAUGHTER
In this response,the Animal Welfare minister,Mr Ben Bradshaw,has stated:
“the Government has maintained its position in not accepting FAWC’s recommendation that slaughter without prior stunning should be banned!
He  also said: the Government respected the rights of communities in Britain to slaughter animals in accordance with the requirements of their religion”
 And In his response to Recommendation 201 he said:
“the Government does not intend to ban the slaughter of animals without prior stunning by religious groups..the Government is committed to respect the rights of religious groups (Jewish and Muslims)…”
We like here,on behalf of the British muslims, to thank the Minister/Government and DEFRA for their understanding  and acceptance of our religious rights and needs in animal slaughter/DHABH,without the use of any stunning technique,and  as in the present British  law now.
 However,we like to confirm again that ,the religious method/without stunning,is the only HUMANE method which was prescribed by GOD ..and was implemented by all prophets of GOD: Abraham,Moses,Jesus and Muhammad,the final prophet(peace be upon them) as a mercy to man and to  animals!
Not only that ,but it does give  us also the most healthy type of meat,as prooved by the new medical sciences.
We like to  appeal to the Minister and to DEFRA,to reconsider : this  Divine humane 
method for all animal slaughter in Britain,and to STOP all stunning techniques,for the welfare of the animals and for the Health of our nation!
We,also like to appeal to all the muslims involved in animal slaughter/”HALAL”,to stick to prophet Muhammad’s way in animal slaughter/DHABH,and without any type of stunning/torture techniques,especially when the law of the land allows us to do that.
Unfortunately,we have to admit that ,the majority of the  so called:”HALAL MEAT”.”.HALAL FOOD” which are sold to the muslims today ARE NOT HALAL BUT “HARAM”!
And those “muslims” involved in this “HARAM” business, are Betraying Sayyidna Muhammad,peace be upon him,cheating their own muslim community , inflicting a lot of cruely on animals and feeding our innocent children/community:
“Haram” unhealthy meat!!!!
Here is a list of some Websites which expose the the Harams,Health hazards and the cruelties inflicted on the innocent animals when stunning is used:
www.unstunnedhalal.com
-www.iccuk.org/www.iccservices.org.uk(Regent Park mosque/Islamic Cultural Centre)
-www.mcb.org.uk/health  (Muslim Council of Britain)
-www.halalmc.org      (Halal Monitoring Committee)
-www.chechitauk.org  (Jewish)
Another neglected issue by the muslims,is important to emphasize:
TO FEED/GROW the ANIMALS before doing any halal  slaughter: on natural diet/organic(grass and plants,as mentioned in the Qur’an):  And to avoid completely animal proteins Genetically modified feed and  all hormones,antibiotics and chemicals, in order to have TAYYIB meat(natural,pure,wholesome,healthy  safe and blessed…)
Time has come to put our house in order,especially in Halal meat and Food!
