Do Quranists Eat Haram Meat?
-
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem
Do Quranists eat Haram meat? I mean the Quranists who live in Western countries where meat is mechanically processed and not hand slaughtered as per Islamic ritual laws. Do Quranists eat meat from western restaurants and buy meat from western butcheries?
Would be very interested to know.

Peace,
There is no such thing as "islamic ritual slaughtering". The only lacking thing may be if someone would dedicate the meat in another name than God, but I think it is mainly atheists who are working at the butchery mentioning no name at all. You can yourself dedicate the food in God's name before you eat.
If it is fuel to your arguments then you and your brethren can have your opinion and keep it to yourselves. We are not living in the 7th century.
God bless you

Wow if it was really that simple why would Allah Tabbarak wa Taala say not to eat meat which has been slaughtered in the name of anyone besides Him, then in Surah 6119, 6120, 6121 (Bismillah included) He specifically commands you to eat meat which has been slaughtered in His Name.

Peace,
Well. If you have no other meat to eat. Should you not eat meat at all? Like I said, at least they do not pronounce the name of someone else on the food. Ok, maybe the trademark then.
God bless you

Peace,
You are right about that though. Well, at least a healthy alternative.
Fortunately I live in a so-called islamic republic in the Middle-East, so my food God's name (at least so they say) has been pronounced upon.
God bless you

I don't believe in "Fortune", I believe in Destiny which Allah has written with His own Hand on the Preserved Tablet

Peace,
I believe in destiny too, but the mechanics are complicated. If I say "fortunately" it is how the destiny was laid out, which may seem fortunate. I do not know my fate.
The use of language English does not necessarily mean that you say something is based on luck or coincidence when you say fortunately. It is synonymous with saying for example, "The good thing was". Since we do not know our destiny, it fully fine to say it was fortunate for our life here. It does not mean I would not accept that God brought me back to Him.
That our lives are already prerecorded is told in Quran. This gives clear information that we have a Destiny.
Still we are made to believe that we have a choice, which I believe we have. The process is complicated and I believe we cannot fully comprehend this since it is the intricate system of God.
God surely work on several levels, dimensions of Knowledge at the same time, like a software system or computer can do. Everything is already computed, but yet there is a simulation running like a game. We cannot change events which God has decided would occur to us, but we can do small decisions in life since we are equipped with free will. No matter what we do we cannot escape our Destiny. No matter action we will be exposed to the trials God laid forth.
Now what I wrote here actually belongs to my own dedicated thread. Sorry it slipped in here, it was my elaboration to Israfeel. I will continue on this in my thread sooner or later, God willing.
God bless you

Peace Man of Faith,
Thats the thing about halal slaughtering. Are we supposed to know that we should drain blood because of the Quranic commands about blood? Or doesn't it matter if we drain the blood? I can't say I've fully decided on this issue yet.

If you google Egyptian or arab abattoir or slaughter house you see the abuse of the animals (which is against Islamic Slaughter) and you cannot see the slaughterer moving their lips, let alone hear them say bism Allah. They all lay on blood covered floors with their tendons slashed whilst watching many other cattle being slaughtered and even beaten before they are next.
My point is that there is no way to assure you are getting 100% halal meat by Quran Standards, or Hadith Standards. Even in our so called 'islamic countries'. Until you have raised your own cattle, fed them proper food, ruled out any illnesses and took care of them, and slaughtered them away from the sights and scent of the other cattle, and properly said bism Allah before killing them, then there is no way to be sure your meat is halal. Maybe if you know someone who raises cattle in this manner. But they are rare nowadays.

When Allah said we can't eat blood, i think its fair to say draining the blood is a good idea. It has its benefits.

Hadith never says either you can eat electric eel or not.
God gives you brain. So use brain to think which food is unlawful besides swines etc.

Can you please explain, above, where it mentions "slaughtered in His name"

Peace supportpeacenotwar,
Well, regarding the blood, it is still some blood trapped within the body of the animal even if you do the so-called halal slaughtering. It is just nonsense that it helps any more than the conventional "Western" slaughtering. I live in a country with halal slaughtering and it is no different regarding this to my mother country.
The only Quranic problem, which we discussed here, is that the name of God has to be pronounced when sacrificing (killing) the animal to be eaten. In an atheist butchery this is of course not done. But now the question is if it is okay as long as you dedicate the animal by God's name before you eat it in your home.
God bless you

I was just raising a discussion point. The point of the thread can shift from different things at different times covering the general topic under discussion. In fact, it's a natural part of conversation. I don't think there is any need to start calling draining blood nonsense and shutting down the discussion as some may consider it valid if the Quran mentions not eating blood - like PixelAngelBaby said even if some blood is left - as the point is you are eating as little blood as possible or barely any at all. Let God be the Judge of everyone. Sometimes I wish I could feel the peace and blessing from some of these posts, I really do.
It's amazing that we don't like the 'hadith followers' (for shorthand) because when we disagree with some of them, there's a big issue with regards to it from their perspective. I find the exact same thing among some Quran only. What's more amazing is how the Quran has already explained this issue of human nature and labelling.
Interestingly, I just did a quick search and even in red meat like beef the red juice is not blood, apparently it's caused by muscle protein.

Peace Israfel.
I only accept haram category based on verse 2173
-Carcass
-Blood
-Pig
-Animal slaughtered with other name beside AllahIf you pointing haram categories from hadith, I will never accepted.

Peace supportpeacenotwar,
I think you misunderstood my post. Nonsense was those who claim that halal slaughtering leaves no blood inside the animal.
My old dad is more or less a butcher and I know the work pretty much. And I know the procedure when it is drained of blood. There is not more blood in it than in halal slaughtering. The only real difference is in a religious slaughtering you sacrifice the animal in God's name.
Sorry if you feel I argue with you, well I was just replying to the issues you raised. It was nothing personal and I should perhaps not have written in addressed to you specifically.
You should know you cannot escape that a small amount of blood never leaves the body of the animal. If you read God's word too literally then you shall never eat meat either in the case of blood.
Of course the ayat means not to drink blood or make food based on purely blood like black pudding.
I did not try to be cold or harsh or blunt or anything in my previous post. I am sorry if I came about that way.
God bless you

Peace Man of Faith,
That was the other thing I was thinking. Some translations say flowing blood in some of the related verse as well. Of course we need to be careful not to say that this is from Allah swt if it isn't from Allah or if we aren't sure. I think that is what I was also referring to earlier in part.
