WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT FOR A MUSLIM TO STRICTLY
CONSUME HALAL?

• Consuming Halal is an order of Allah and an
  essential part of the Islamic faith. Allah has
  repeatedly emphasized the consumption of Halal in
  His book. The following are some examples of such
  verses
• O Messengers, eat from the pure foods and work
  righteousness (Holy Quran 2351)
• O you who have believed, eat from the pure
  things which we have provided you (Holy Quran
  2172)
• O mankind, eat from whatever is on earth (that
  is) lawful and pure (Holy Quran 2168)
• So eat of that (meat) upon which Allah's name
  has been mentioned, if you are believers in His
  verses (Holy Quran 6118)
• And do not eat that upon which the name of Allah
  has not been mentioned, for indeed it is a grave
  disobedience. (Holy Quran 6121)

PERSPECTIVE OF HALAL FOOD IN PAKISTAN

• Pakistan is a Muslim Country and the peoples of
  country are following Islamic rules.
• Global Worlds concepts are creating problems in
  export and import of food.
• Peoples are using food items prepared as ordered
  in Quran, Sunah and Hadide. But there is question
  about the certification of meat sold in market.
  Halal or Non Halal?
• Government has assigned duties of officers to
  check the quality of materials.
• There are Halal food Rules and also Halal Board
  established by Chamber of Commerce.
• There is need to conduct research that which raw
  material should be used for animal, poultry and
  fish rearing.

11
PERSPECTIVE OF NON FOOD HALAL ITEMS IN PAKISTAN

• People of Pakistan are also using non food items
  like toothpaste, lipsticks, leather garments and
  pharmaceuticals like insulin from animals.
• There is no permission to use Non Halal Itmes in
  the country.
• There is need to conduct test to verify that the
  items are prepared from Halal raw materials for
  non-food use also. Certifying bodies should use
  latest equipments and techniques.

IMPORTANCE OF ISLAMIC METHOD FOR SLAUGHTERING
ANIMALS

• Islamic way of slaughtering is the most humane,
  compassionate and sympathetic method of slaughter
  (no pain, deep sleep recorded due to the large
  quantity of blood gushing out from the body), and
  that the captive bolt stunning practiced by the
  Western methods causes severe pain to the animal.
  
• The Prophet (S) has said Allah (SWT) calls for
  mercy in everything. So be merciful when you
  slaughter sharpen your blade to relieve its
  pain.
• According to Kamoonpuri (1998), the prescribed
  method of slaughtering an animal in Islam saves
  the animal from any kind of pain. When the
  animals major blood vessel in the neck is
  cut-off that produces an immediate stunning
  effect. The advantage of not cutting the spinal
  cord is that the brain continues to send it
  electrical impulses to the heart demanding blood.
  As all the blood is drained, the pipeline, which
  takes blood to the brain, has already been cut
  off. The violent reactions in the animal are from
  the natural muscular contraction and no pain is
  experienced.

IMPORTANCE OF ISLAMIC METHOD FOR SLAUGHTERING
ANIMALS

• Kamoonpuri (1998) also mentions two researchers,
  Gucel and Erbil who subscribe to the fact that
  blood can cause toxicity in the animal's meat,
  all has to be drained, and the Islamic way of
  slaughtering takes care of that.
• Professor Schultz and Dr. Hazim of the Hanover
  University in Germany concluded through an
  experiment that Islamic way of slaughtering is
  the most humane, compassionate and sympathetic
  method of slaughter (no pain, deep sleep recorded
  due to the large quantity of blood gushing out
  from the body), and that the captive bolt
  stunning practiced by the Western methods causes
  severe pain to the animal.

IMPORTANCE OF ISLAMIC METHOD FOR SLAUGHTERING
ANIMALS

• A meat animal slaughtered by Muslims is
  electrically balanced and stable (A Note on
  Battery-Farmed Meats and Leather Belts)
• Dr. Hazim remarks further that the
  Electro-Encephalographic (EEG) recordings of the
  animals (after being slaughtered) dropped to a
  zero level, and the heart was still pounding, the
  body convulsing vigorously (a reflex action), and
  driving maximum blood out from the body. This
  procedure greatly results in hygienic and
  electrically balanced (with steady energy fields)
  meat for the consumer.
