 Al-Dhabh : Slaying Animals the Islamic Way,
Paperback  - 61 pages,
by Dr. Ghulam Mustafa Khan.


 
'AL Dhabh - Slaying Animals the Islamic Way' is a much needed milestone towards understanding the criteria of the Islamic principles of slaughter of animals and birds for human consumption. Basically it is required that a sane Muslim adult recites the Tasmiya (Bismillahi Allahu Akbar) At the time of slaughter on an animal that is alive. Upon slaughter it should be ensured that all flowing blood is drained out of the carcass.

 
The promotion of healthy and correct patterns of food consumption is very much part of the Islamic way of life. It is the main purpose of this book to show that patterns of food consumption are achieved through precise Islamic dietary laws which specify what can and cannot be eaten. It is shown how these laws encourage a strong attachment to, and a respect for, the sanctity of life and an abhorrence to cruelty to animals.
