question on halah and haram meat
-
Pls answer this post in complete detail, not in fragments. I need to fully understand the issue I'm raising.
Today, we see Muslims eating meat that has been cut iwth the knife on the thraot and name of God has been pronounced.
I read this article (a very good one)
http//www.free-minds.org/articles/dietary.htmOne thing is clear
"?Do not eat from that upon which the name of God has not been mentioned, for it is an abomination. The devils inspire their allies to argue with you; if you obey them, you will be idol worshipers.? 6121"
That youu cannot even eat vegetables or fruits that have been dedicated to someone other than God. So i dont understand why there is hub hub only on meat and cutting it in a special way.
Second, what does it mean that upon which the name of God has not been mentioned? What does it mean precisely?
In light of Quran, can you eat something (incuding meat) on which no other name (including God's) has been mentioned? One thing is clear, I cant eat anything dedicated to someone else. But what if I eat something not dedicated to anyone?
Can I eat meat found in local wal-mart? That meat is electricuted with machines. I dont think someone stands there saying 'you are hereby sacrificed in the name of wal-mart'.
What if i take that meat, which has not been killed in anyone's name, and cook it, and then in the name of God eat it?
