- ALLAH'S STERN WARNINGS
TO THOSE
- WHO INVENT LIES IN HIS
NAME...
-
NO DOUBT, Muslims have willingly surrendered to their Rabb
- Allah, and are obliged to abide by the Laws of Allah.
BUT NOT, by the INVENTED LAWS that are falsely attributed
to HIM. UNFORTUNATELY, many of the these falsely attributed LAWS are
so deep rooted and wide spread that ERADICATING them after so many years is not
an easy task. BUT, making no attempt to stamp out these INVENTED LIES
is fudging from our duties.
-
- ON THE OTHER HAND, the
WARNINGS BY ALLAH
to those who PROPAGATE such INVENTED LIES
are STERN.
Making the maximum number of Muslims aware of it
could possibly ERADICATE this deep rooted false convictions and beliefs for
our EATING HABITS. Those who compel MUSLIMS upon the strict
observance
of these INVENTED LIES in the name of Allah (S.W.T.) without knowledge, are
hereby invited to read the following PRESCRIBED LAWS OF ALLAH and also the
PRESCRIBED WARNINGS FOR INVENTING THE LIES. Especially, the Brothers and
Sisters from the earlier generations who have been blindly following their
elders and preachers, without questioning the REALITIES OR FOUNDATIONS.
THE LAWS PRESCRIBED BY ALLAH:
-
O you who believe! Eat of the good
things wherewith We have provided you, and render thanks to Allah if it is
(indeed) He whom you worship. He has forbidden you
only
carrion, and blood, and flesh of
swine, and that which hath been
immolated to any one other than Allah... Qur'an 2: 172 - 173.
-
- Forbidden
unto you (for food) are carrion and blood and flesh of swine,
and that which hath been dedicated unto any other than Allah... Qur'an 5: 3.
Say (O' Muhammad): "I find not in the
Message received by me by inspiration any (meat)
forbidden to be
eaten by one who wishes to eat it
unless it be
dead meat or blood poured forth or the
flesh of swine
for it is an abomination or what is impious (meat) on which a name has been
invoked other than Allah's."
Qur'an 6: 145.
-
He has
only forbidden
you dead meat and blood and the
flesh of
swine and any (food) over which the name of other than Allah has
been invoked. But if one is forced by necessity without willful
disobedience nor transgressing due limits then Allah is
Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful. Qur'an 16:
115.
- The Arabic phrase for the
"flesh of swine" REPEATED BY
ALLAH AGAIN AND AGAIN IS:
-
- لَحْمَ
الْخَنزِيرِ
- Upon careful reading of the above
verses on realizes the
FACT that Allah (S.W.T) has
in His Wisdom, REPEATEDLY mentioned the phrase
flesh of swine. ALLAH ALONE
KNOWS the reasons for NOT FORBIDDING the
REST OF THE BODY PARTS OF SWINE.
-
- To ADD or to DELETE anything to whatever has been REVEALED is
FALSEHOOD.
And, to propagate that FALSEHOOD as the COMMAND OF ALLAH is a GRAVE SIN.
-
- It is noteworthy that
side by side with each of the above Four
Verses, for the HARAAM
(FORBIDDEN) FOODS, Allah has also Revealed Verses for the HALAL
(PERMITTED) FOODS, and ALSO issued STERN WARNINGS
for INVENTING LIES.
-
- STOP INVENTING LIES IN THE MATTER OF HARAAM AND HALAL
FOODS IF YOU
FEAR ALLAH. HE HAS PRESCRIBED MOST GRIEVOUS PENALTY FOR IT.
عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
- O mankind! Eat of that which
is lawful and wholesome in the earth, and follow
not the footsteps of the Satan. Lo! he is an open enemy for you. He
enjoins upon you only the evil and the foul,
and that you should tell concerning Allah that which
you know not. And when it is
said unto them: Follow that which Allah hath revealed, they say: We follow
that wherein we found our fathers. What! Even though their fathers were
wholly unintelligent and had no guidance? The likeness of those who
disbelieve is as the likeness of one who calls unto that which hears
naught except a shout and cry. Deaf, Dumb, Blind, therefore they have no
sense. Qur'an 2: 168 to 171
- This day are (all) things good and pure made lawful unto you.
The food of the People of the Book is lawful unto you
and yours is lawful unto them. Qur'an 5: 5.
- Lost are those who slay their
children from folly without knowledge and forbid food
which Allah hath provided for them
inventing (lies) against Allah. They have indeed gone
astray and heeded no guidance.
Qur'an 6: 140
-
- But say not for any false thing that
your tongues may put forth "This is lawful and this is forbidden" so as to ascribe false things to
Allah. For those who ascribe false things to Allah will never
prosper. (In such falsehood) is but a paltry profit; but they will have
a
most
grievous Penalty.
Qur'an 16: 116 - 117.
FOLLOW ALLAH NOT THE
CONJECTURES AND INVENTED LIES:
- Wert thou to
follow the common run of those on earth they will lead thee
away from the Way of Allah.
They follow nothing but conjecture: they
do
nothing but lie.
Qur'an 6: 116.
-
- Say (O'
Muhammad): "See you what things Allah
hath sent down to you for sustenance? Yet
you hold forbidden some things thereof and (some things) lawful." Say:
"Has Allah indeed permitted you or do you invent (things) to attribute
to
Allah?" And what think those who invent lies against Allah of the Day
of Judgment? Qur'an 10 : 59 and 60.
BEFORE YOU FOLLOW
THE INHERITED FALSEHOODS OR LIES CONCERNING ALLAH'S LAW, PLEASE ASK FOR
THE PROOF...
When someone suggests you to read
the labels of the Dairy Products, Bakery Products, Cosmetic Products,
Wearing Apparels and Footwear etc., please ask him/her to be precise and
specific from the list of FORBIDDEN ITEMS mentioned within the Qur'an.
IF YOU OBEY THE LAWS
THAT ARE MADE
BY MAN, INSTEAD OF THOSE RECORDED IN THE QUR'AN, BEHOLD, YOU
WILL BE LOST.
NONE HAS THE AUTHORITY TO ENLARGE ALLAH'S PRECISE LAWS
REMEMBER:
- ALLAH IS NOT SHY
OF TELLING (TEACHING) THE TRUTH...
- Qur'an 33: 53
- Question and its Answer added on
February 1, 2005
QUESTION: Are there possibilities for
the existence of the traces of SWINE-FLESH within the Lard made from the fat of
swine and/or within the Rennet made from the guts of the swine and used for
cooking or for curdling milk to make Yogurt and Cheese?
- ANSWER: Eating of
BLOOD is forbidden within the above mentioned verses of the
Qur'an. Even within the properly slaughtered Fresh HALAL COW
MEAT, that you regularly buy from the Islamic Halal Meat Shops, has BLOOD of
the slaughtered animals. AND, that BLOOD IS VISIBLE TO YOU when you run
your kitchen knife on the Cow's Meat or wash it. Would you consider eating of that HALAL MEAT as
having eaten the BLOOD of Cow? IF NOT, how can the eating of
the Bread,
Yogurt or Cheese can constitute as having eaten the SWINE-FLESH? If
you, knowingly and intentionally DRINK "Cow's Blood"
you are a sinner. Similarly, if you intentionally and knowing EAT
"Flesh of Swine" you are a sinner.
- This is my sincere opinion and belief...
Allah knows the Best...
An interesting anecdote
on "Halal Meat" added on February 4, 2005
- A relative of mine who lives
across the boarder in U.S.A. narrated an incident that goes somewhat like this... In his
town there was a HALAL MEAT SHOP run by a Muslim Brother. He was doing a brisk
business since his prices for the Halal Chickens and Halal Cows were comparable
to those sold by the other Non-Halal Meat Stores. Upon investigation it was
discovered
that this Brother was getting his supplies from the same farms as the regular
Butchers in the town. When confronted by his angry
customers who told him that he was selling the Non-Halal Meats, the Butcher pointed out at the
Big Sign on his store front. The sign read 'HALAL MEAT SHOP'. The Butcher swore that he was indeed
selling HALAL MEAT. The butcher was
counter challenged by the customers, based upon verse 6: 121
of Qur'an:
- Do not eat of that meat on
which Allah's name has not been pronounced, since that is most surely a
transgression.
- The Butcher replied: Next time when you buy
your "Halal Meat" make sure to read the Store Front Sign. Does the sign claim
it is a
ZABIAH HALAL MEAT
SHOP or
HALAL MEAT SHOP ?
