Halaal & Haraam
For all of us who are still learning.. :)
Got it from an email from mbakQu .. *was posted in the FS bulletin board*
Bob: Tell me why is it that a Muslim is veryparticular about the words Halaaland Haraam; what do they mean?
Yunus: That which is permissible is termed Halaaland that which is notpermissible is termed Haraam and it is the Quranwhich draws the distinctionbetween the two
Bob: Can you give me an example?
Yunus: Yes, Islam has prohibited blood of anytype. You will agree that achemical analysis of blood shows that it containsan abundance of uric acid, achemical substance which can be injurious tohuman health.
Bob: You're right about the toxic nature of uricacid, in the human being it isexcreted as a waste product and in fact we aretold that 98% of the body's uricacid is extracted from the blood by the kidneysand removed through urination
Yunus: Now I think that you'll appreciate thespecial prescribed method ofanimal slaughter in Islam
Bob: What do you mean
Yunus: You see, the wielder of the knife, whilsttaking the name of the'Almighty', makes an incision through the jugularveins, leaving all other veinsand organs intact
Bob: I see, this causes the death of the animal bytotal loss of blood from thebody, rather than an injury to any vital organ
Yunus: Yes, were the organs, example the heart,the liver, or the brain crippledor damaged, the animal could die immediatelyand its blood would congeal in itsveins and would eventually permeate the flesh.This implies that the animalflesh would be permeated and contaminated withuric acid and therefore verypoisonous; only today did our dieticians realizesuch a thing
Bob: Again, while on the topic of food; Why doMuslims condemn the eating ofpork or ham or any foods related to pigs or swine
Yunus: Actually, apart from the Quran prohibitingthe consumption of pork,bacon(pig flesh); in fact the Bible too in Leviticuschapter11,verse 8, regardingswine it says, "of their flesh (of the swine, anothername for pig) shall younot eat, and of their carcass you shall nottouch;they are unclean to you.Further, did you know that a pig cannot beslaughtered at the neck for it doesnot have a neck; that is according to its naturalanatomy.A Muslim reasons thatif the pig was to be slaughtered and fit for humanconsumption the Creator wouldhave provided it with a neck. Nonetheless, all thataside, I am sure you arewell informed about the harmful effects of theconsumption of pork, in any form,be it pork chops,ham, bacon
Bob: The medical science finds that there is a riskfor various diseases the pigis found to be a host for many parasites andpotential diseases
Yunus: Yes, even apart from that, as we talkedabout uric acid content in theblood, it is important to note that the pig'sbiochemistry excretes only 2% ofits total uric acid content, the remaining 98%remains as an integral part of the body
