WHAT MAKES A MEAT HALAL OR HARAM??

We have a very wrong understanding about the meaning of halal slaughter. I was asked by a non muslim professor once what makes a meat halal and i didn't know an explanation and was embarrassed but gave a vague answer saying that we say the prayer before we cut, that makes it halal. I came back and went through hadiths and articles written by muslim scholars and finally came to an understanding. I am going to explain it to urll in a scientific way so that Insha Allah in the future if anyone asks you the same question u will be prepared to give this answer. 

WHAT MAKES A MEAT HALAL OR HARAM?

Ans: it is the undrained blood that contaminates the meat makes it haram. What these non-muslim butchers do is completely chop of the head as a result of which the connection between the brain and the heart is lost hence the heart stops pumping/beating almost instantaneously therefore there is no driving force to push the blood out of the body. As a result of this the blood stagnates in the veins and arteries and contaminates the meat. Scientifically it is proven that blood is one of the best culture mediums to grow bacteria. Consuming meat contaminated with blood makes humans more vulnerable to infections and joint pains. Joint pains because of high uric acid levels in blood.

SO WHAT IS HALAL WAY??

Ans: in halal way we do not chop off the head completely but instead we cut the main vein (jugular vein) in the neck first. (This vein contains venous blood in high pressure and it directly connects to the atrium of the heart without any interference). This method of slaughtering preserves the connection between the brain and the heart which allows neural transmissions to be delivered. This keeps the heart pumping/beating until all the blood is drained off completely from every vein and artery in the body making the meat pure and thus Halal.

SO THE NEXT QUESTION IS WHAT MAKES FISH HALAL EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT SLAUGHTERED THIS WAY??

Allah SWT has created fish in such a way that the moment it is removed from water the entire blood in its body is redirected to a part called the epiglottis in its mouth which turns bright red thus indicating that the blood is drained and the meat is pure.

SUBHANALLAH.

Is it permissible to work as a Lawyer in Islam?

Most of the Muslims think Islam doesn’t give any permission to work as a lawyer and some of us completely dislike about the law profession. Because they think it involves in referring to something other than the laws of Allaah for the judgement. I think this is completely a misconception. As Muslims, we shouldn't be narrow minded to that far.   Wor king as a lawyer is not harm in and of itself, because it is not judged according to something other than that which Allaah has revealed, rather it is acting as a people’s deputy or representative in cases of dispute, which is a permissible kind of deputation or representation. But the lawyer must be careful and make sure of the case before getting involved in it.  If it is a claim regarding some right that has been taken away in a wrong manner, then it is permissible for you to argue on his behalf to have his rights restored to him and the wrongdoing stopped. This comes under the heading of cooperating in righteousness and ...

"We'd Rather Spend more on our Daughter's marriage than her Education"

It's sad to think that there are still some societies that exist where parents are concerned and often feel burdened by the pressure of getting their daughters married. Their worry often begins before their daughters have even reached a marriageable age. Marriage gives priority, in some cases not all, over everything else and daughters are often made to feel that the sole purpose of their lives   is marriage and this should be their number one priority.   Parents start worrying about saving for their daughter's big day so they can get her married off in a culturally fitting manner. In a sense, they rightly do so; it's a good thing for parents to think about these things for their children and it's always wise to plan ahead. However, again in some cases not all, we need to ask the question; why is a girl's education not given equal importance? Why do we feel that educating our daughters is a waste of time and money, but paying thousands in credit towards her we...
