First accept my Salaam and good wishes. You may have read my website: http://www.vegetarianmuslim.org. You advocate the slaughtering of animals and eating its flesh while I condemn slaughtering of animals or eating its flesh. Very few Muslims would favour me for what I write and preach. It does not come as a surprise to me, for I am learned and enlightened while most of you do not know your religion or may never have read the Holy Quran with its deep meanings. I have nothing against you. Ultimately, we have to pay for our karma or deeds, sometime, somewhere, and somehow until we die. But it is my duty to let you know the reasons why I preach vegetarianism, why I am against slaughtering or eating of animal flesh, it may be a bird, a four legged animals, fish or any kind of eggs. Even honey and undue use of milk is avoided by me. WHY ? IS THE QUESTION
Brother, my reasons are as under:
1. Islam was introduced to us by our Holy Prophet Mohammed(peace will always be upon him). He was a hardcore vegetarian. Even small children who read the life history of the Prophet knows , when the Holy Prophet moved away from Mecca to Madina, he did this under great hardship for several days and on the way he lived on cooked leaves. He never slaughtered any animals during this transit period. He cautioned everyone that meat of animals are intoxicating like wine and also told his followers that they should not turn their stomach into a grave of dead animals.
2. Islam started as a religion giving equal right to the animals and all living beings. Islam is vocal in animal rights throughout the Holy Quran. This is why the colour of Islam is green and not red, yellow or black. Please read 6:38. Translation by Mohsin Khan: “There is not a moving (living) creature on earth, nor a bird that flies with its two wings, but are communities like you. We have neglected nothing in the Book, then unto their Lord they (all) shall be gathered”.
3. As I said Islam started as a vegetarian religion, but Arabs were hardcore meat eaters and could not refrain themselves from eating meat of any kind. Many of the Arabs were reluctant to convert to Islam. Many who did convert, did not follow Islam religiously and showed resentment against living on vegetarian diet. The Prophet had to accede to their request and hence the sura 5:1 was revealed. Please read 5:1. Translation by Shakir: “O you who believe! fulfil the obligations. The cattle quadrupeds are allowed to you except that which is recited to you, not violating the prohibition against game when you are entering upon the performance of the pilgrimage; surely Allah orders what He desires”. This surah may have been revealed between 5th and 10th year of Hijrah. Many authority regard this as the last surah. Rodwell placed this surah chronologically as last in the line. The Significant part of this surah is it talks about making cattles lawful for Muslims. It does not say that rice, potato or vegetables have been made lawful or allowed to Muslims, which clearly means that in ealier times Islam did not encourage the eating of animal flesh, only later it was allowed to please the followers. In addition, the surah begins with a pre-condition for Muslims to fulfil their obligations, meaning following the Islamic laws.
4. You put in much of your valuable time in accusing me of spreading vegetarianism amongst Muslim people. Did you, in your entire lifetime, spend even a fraction of that time objecting against Muslim brothers and sisters who are into gambling, drugs, prostitution, dancing and singing, smuggling, theft, decoity and looting, murder, rape and other sins of the highest order. Yet you are so overwhelmed by my request to spare the lives of innocent creatures and provide those monies to deserving Muslim brothers and sisters around the world. This does not suit you, as the intoxication of flesh eating has entered your blood stream, rightly said by our Holy Prophet.

Allahumma inni a’oodhoo bika minal-hammi-walhazan. Wa’a oodhoo bika minal-ghammi-wal-kasal. Wa’a oodhoo bika minal jubni wal bukhl. Wa’a oodhoo bikal min ghalabatid-dayni-waqarir rijal.
Oh Allah, I seek refuge in You from worry and grief, from helplessness and laziness, from cowardice and stinginess, and from overpowering of debt and from oppression of men.

Du’a for Distress

Allahumma rahmataka arjoo falaa takilnee ilaa nafsee tarfata ‘aynin wa aslih-lee sha’nee kullahu, laa ilaha illa anta.
O Allah! It is Your mercy that I hope for so do not leave me in charge of my affairs even for a blink of an eye and rectify for me all of my affairs. None has the right to be worshipped except You.

Anyhoo wrt to this, as a Muslim I am considering vegeterianism not because I think we shouldn’t kill Allah(swt)’s creation blah blah the Qur’an clearly states we can eat the meat of permissable animals there’s no issue there, no I am considering it because of the current farming practices and their negative impact on animal welfare, as well as the fact that animals in the West often have feeds with other animal derivatives in them therefore as far as my understanding goes these reasons makes the consumption of these meats impermissable.

Another reason is the fact that halal meat is mass produced and it’s output of large volumes of meat seems contradictory to the original process of halal slaughter. Slaughtering an animal using halal methods takes time and the whole process is centred on respecting the animal and in turn what Allah(swt) has provided us with. You have to calm the animal and make it relaxed, not let the other animals see, have a sharp blade and the blood vessels in the neck have to be cut in one go. I find it hard to believe that these practices are implemented correctly in current meat factories.

Being Muslim and vegeterian is not controversial unless you reject clear teachings from Qur’an and Hadiths that say eating correctly slaughtered meat is permissable. The clue here is permissable, eating meat is not preferred(sunnah) or compulsory(fard) therefore it’s perfectly acceptable to be vegeterian.

Today, I am a proud vegetarian and atheist. I have found the truth in Atheism.
