November 01, 2023, 03:43:43 pm Ruhi_Rose: Yes .. making lots of dua everyday ..... watching those real life video clips, my face feels wet with tears all the time.  May ALLAH grant the best to these wonderful, brave & steadfast martyrs,  Ameen ya Allah.
November 01, 2023, 03:38:26 pm Zainab_M: Keep praying, praying a lot for Gaza. It's worse than a prison .. it's a concentration camp.  Children as young as 10 or 11 are having to care for their younger siblings ages 2, 3 and 4 becoz many have lost both parents.  It's a very, very, very tearful situation there.
October 26, 2023, 03:40:19 pm N. Truth Seeker: Don't forget to look up MV Blog Zainab's Lounge for our Gaza updates.
October 20, 2023, 04:24:44 pm Zainab_M: Right sister Heba.  Gaza hospital bombing has the fingerprints of Israel all over it.  For Israel this is no big crime.  They have done this and much worse many times in the past and intend to do the same and worse many more times in near future.
October 20, 2023, 04:20:20 pm Heba E. Husseyn: Catching Zionist lies isn't hard. Soon after Gaza hospital bombing killing and maiming hundreds, Israel was quick to accuse Islamic Jihad of a misfired rocket.  That didn't sound plausible because IJ does not have such sophisticated bombing devices.  Zionist lie was fully exposed when anglican archbishop of Jerusalem,Hosam Naoum,  said today that 3 or 4 days prior to boming Israel had warned Gaza hospital to evacuate. Yet CIA claims in its flawed analysis that the rocket did not come from Israel.  But conveniently does not explain how Israel could have known 4 days earlier that a "misfired" rocket from IJ was coming.  Yet on the basis of this flawed & bias analysis of CIA, Biden is comforting Israel he believes Israel didn't do that war crimes bombing.
July 29, 2023, 03:02:07 am Zainab_M: Yesterday was Ashura, Muharram 10, 1444 (July 27, 2023).  Read about this very tragic day and details of the world's greatest 7th century revolutionary: WHO WAS HUSSEIN.
June 28, 2023, 09:48:39 am Zainab_M: Walaikum As Salaam.  This was the first Hajj open to all after the pandemic. It was attended by 2.6 million Muslims.

Reflections on the Glorious Quran

"And for every nation have We appointed a ritual, that they may mention the name of Allah over the beast of cattle that He has given them for food; and your God is One God, therefor surrender unto Him. And give good tidings (O Muhammad) to the humble."  22:34  Surah Al-Hajj


By reading the above verse it is clear that Allah had commanded the Jews and Christians as well to mention the name of Allah (just the way Muslims say "BismAllah .. ) over animals being slaughtered for eating.  Though many of the Jews do adhere to kosher food which is somewhat similar to Halal for Muslims, the Christians do not follow any dietary regulations based on Faith.

Also, referring to Verse 22:34, Pickthall explains a very important aspect highlighting one of the main purposes for mentioning the name of Allah while slaughtering animals for food.

Quote
In order that they (humans) may realize the awfulness of taking life, and the solemn nature of the trust Allah has imposed on them in the permission to eat animal food.
Unquote

Thus, it ought to be kept in mind that eating the meat of an animal is not the same as eating fruits or vegetables from trees and plants.  That's because an animal is a living being with a soul and is dying to serve humans as food.  Therefore, as a gesture of respect to the soul of the dying animal it's incumbent upon us to mention the name of Allah Almighty at such a time.

The following Verse from Surah Al-Anum is further evidence to respect animals.

"There is not an animal in the earth, nor a flying creature flying on two wings, but they are peoples like unto you. We have neglected nothing in the Book (of Our decrees). Then unto their Lord they will be gathered."  6:38  

Praise be to Allah (The Greatest), the Master of the entire universe.
