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.

 BismEm


"Forbidden unto you (for food) are carrion and blood and swineflesh, and that which hath been dedicated unto any other than Allah, and the strangled, and the dead through beating, and the dead through falling from a height, and that which hath been killed by (the goring of) horns, and the devoured of wild beasts, saving that which ye make lawful (by the death-stroke), and that which hath been immolated unto idols. And (forbidden is it) that ye swear by the divining arrows. This is an abomination."  (5:3)

"How should ye not eat of that over which the name of Allah hath been mentioned, when He hath explained unto you that which is forbidden unto you unless ye are compelled thereto. But lo! many are led astray by their own lusts through ignorance."   (6:119)

"And eat not of that whereon Allah's name hath not been mentioned, for lo! it is abomination. Lo! the devils do inspire their minions to dispute with you. But if ye obey them, ye will be in truth idolaters."    (6:121)


You must have heard several lukewarm and non-practicing Muslims claim that meat or meat products from non-Muslim Western grocery stores in North America and Europe are "not Haram."  The reason they cite is:  Though the meat of animals sold in these stores are not in the name of Allah, it is not in the name of any other diety either.  So, from this point of view they perceive it as 'Halal.' 

But I see their perception as incomplete. 
 
Allah has stated in the Noble Quran that animals slaughtered in the name of other dieties are Haram to eat (V.5:3).  Allah also says that animals slaughtered over which the name of Allah is not mentioned is Haram (V.6:121).  These two verses would include meat over which the name of some other diety is mentioned as Haram, and also meat over which no name is mentioned as Haram.  The only animal food that's Halal is the one on which ONLY the name of Allah is mentioned, and mentioning the name of Allah is a MUST. 

If an animal is slaughtered in a secular manner, the names of other dieties are not mentioned, which is fine.  But the name of Allah Almighty is not mentioned in secular procedures of slaughter either.  The absense of the name and thought of Allah while slaughtering an animal makes the meat of that animal Haram.   This is how I understand it by reading the above verses I've quoted. 

Any comments to educate me further would be welcomed.

MashAllah sister, I see your perception as absolutely right.  Allah (The Exalted) has made it very clear in His Final Book the conditions that make the meat of an animal Haram.  Animals that are slaughtered in the name of some other deity and animals that are slaughtered with the mention of nothing are both HARAM.  The name of Allah, and Allah Only, must be mentioned to make it Halal. 

Sister Zeynab's post, Purpose & Concept of Halal Food also explains this point very well.
