"Halal" meat
-
Salaamun Alaikum,
Dear brothers and sisters in Islam,O ye who believe! fulfil (all) obligations. Lawful unto you (for food) are all four-footed animals, with the exceptions named But animals of the chase are forbidden while ye are in the sacred precincts or in pilgrim garb for Allah doth command according to His will and plan.
This ayah says all but named exceptions (1. Carrion, Running blood, Pigs meat, meat blasphemously dedicated to other than God) are legal for us to eat.
Oops ? Lawful unto you (for food) are all four-footed animals
How did you get this translation brother? All four-footed animals means Cat, Rat, Dog, Tiger, etc... (but still no birds or chicken) are lawful?
Please correct the translation. Translation you have quoted is wrong.
"Made lawful for you are all the animals of the livestock, except that which is being recited to you, and what you are not allowed to hunt of the game while you are under restriction. Allah decrees as He pleases." 51 (Translation from Free-Minds.org)
Lets see the real translation of the word "An-'aam".
"The example of the worldly life is like a water which has come down from the sky, so it mixed with the plants of the Earth from what mankind and the livestock(an'aamu) eat. Then the Earth takes its shape and becomes beautiful and its inhabitants think that they have mastered it; then Our judgment comes by night or by day, so We make it a wasteland as if it never prospered by the yesterday! It is such that We clarify the revelations to a people who think." 524
"Have they not seen that We drive the water to the barren lands, and produce with it crops to feed their livestock (an'aamuhum), as well as themselves? Do they not see?" 3228
I hope you understand the meaning of An'aam brother.
Now lets go to another question
"He created you from one person, then He made from it its mate. And He sent down to you eight pairs of the livestock(al-an'aami). He creates you in the wombs of your mothers, a creation after a creation in three darkness's. Such is Allah your Lord. To Him belongs the sovereignty. There is no god besides Him. How is it then you deviate?" 396
It says "LAKUM" that means "FOR YOU". Why only 8 pairs FOR US? What does this means?
May Allah guide us all towards the correct path.
Regards,
MMKhan

Yo brethren whassup with thee D
Blessings on your forum angelIt seems mmkhan has a point. After reading the verses regarding food again, I have reached the conclusion that we are allowed to eat the following
- The paired eight of ''baheemat el an3am'' which include
-Male and Female Goat
-Male and Female Sheep
-Male and Female Cattle
-Male and Female Camels
Excluding the blood, the dead and what is slaughtered for other than God. The male and female pig are forbidden. - All seafood.
- All what the land produces ie grains, vegetables and fruits.
All the rest (inluding all birds) are forbidden!
But what about eggs?! ??? Now I have to eat camel with milk for breakfast laugh
Peace,
Rami

Ok I should have asked you about 2173
A Birthday cake is a food item dedicated to a person and the cake is specially made to celebrate an occasion of birth and it has the name of the birthday person so what would make it not harm as its has clearly name of other then God written on it.

hmmand that over which (instead of mentioning the name of Allah, 6119,122, the name of) any other than Allah has been invoked (while slaughtering it, including those sacrificed for idol, 53, since by devouring such meat the spiritual side is affected, Acts 1529). But whoever is constrained (and eats of the forbidden food under compelling circumstances), without being disobedient (to His instructions) nor exceeding the limit (of dire necessity), no sin be upon him then. Allah is certainly most Forgiving (of the defaulters), most Rewarding (of the obedient).
Allah knows your innermost he knows that your intention so therefore birth day cake is not haram.jedi

Salaam,
The birthday cake issue can be looked at in the following way-
• There is a difference between making something for a person and dedicating it in a religious sense. In reality if you do not make this distinction, you can't eat anything a person cooks for you.
• When eating, you always remember the name of Allah in gratitude.
The point here is if you suspect that the person who makes the cake somehow worships you and dedicates the cake to you in some religious sense (like for example food a hindu may make for their religious festivals dedicated to one of their idols), then it is haram. However if someone is just making a cake, or any food for a person or group of people, we have no basis to say it is haram.
Please let me know if this makes sense to you.

You are putting the explanations in the brackets, I may appear fanatical but if you do not put your own understanding in the brackets then a birthday cake comes under harm food,
He has only forbidden for you what is already dead, and the blood, and the meat of pig, and what was dedicated to other than God. Whoever finds himself forced out of need and without disobedience or animosity, then there is no sin upon him. God is Forgiving, MercifulSalaam,

I know exactly what you are saying birthday cakes have become such an integral part of parties that no one would like to think twice. I too can take a modern logical approach but religious or not that is not the issue, I am simply looking at the red highlighted part of 2173 which clearly forbids any food dedicated to other then Allah and unlike rest of the party foods birthday cakes are definitely dedicated to a person's birth especially with the name of person written on it, yes

God evaluates peoples? deeds according to the intentions behind them. This meaning is referred to in the Qur?an when it talks about animals which are sacrificed during the rites of pilgrimage, where it says what means
(Al-Hajj 2237)
When you offer that food in the name of deity or saint then it become haram but the name on birthday cake is not written with same intention.
Now let me tell you something in Yemen sheikhs sends Mangos to Japan to encrypt their name on it and offering them to their guests and friend do you want to say that is haram if you write my name on a goat not considering me a god or something like that does it make that goat haram. nope

Agree but the intention behind a birthday cake, ordered at the bakers, is to order a cake dedicated to a person (a wedding cake is a different matter) and thus to celebrate other than God and falls under what was dedicated to other than God.

Two wrongs dont make a right and giving examples of mad sheikhs or Lebanese dancers does not in any way makes it permissible unless it's your nafs asking you to not look too much into its details or you may have to miss out on your cake; you love you cake and so want to eat it eat

The cake is specially ordered as a birthday cake and, from start to finish, it is dedicated to a person unlike other mass produced food in the supermaket, walkers crips or jacobs biscuits. eat

I love cakes, especially fresh cream cakes with nice, ripe strawberries and layers of thin wine linings at the bottom and no name on top. eat
{Forbidden to you (for food) are dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine, and that on which has been invoked the name of other than Allah; that which has been killed by strangling, or by a violent blow, or by a headlong fall, or by being gored to death; that which hath been (partly) eaten by a wild animal; unless ye are able to slaughter it (in due form); that which is sacrificed on stone (altars); (forbidden) also is the division (of meat) by raffling with arrows that is impiety...} (Al-Ma'ida 53)
On your birth day cake your name is written I?m not invoking your name I?m not considering you a god but if Christian cut it saying Jesus crest or Hindu invoking their god?s name then it is haramjedi

Just to be on the safe side think again. hmm It does not say which has been invoked with the names of other GODS than God; it simply says name of other than Allah.

This is not about forbidden foods; this is the main message given to us all the time there are no other gods but God
I am talking about the list of food harm in 2173
