God almighty said:\u00a0” \u200fDo not eat from that which the Name of Allah has not been mentioned, for it is a sin. The evil impulses [within men’s hearts] whisper unto those who have made them their own to argue with you. If you obey them, you shall indeed become idolaters.\u201d<\/strong>.[1]<\/p>\n

Indications:<\/strong><\/p>\n

*<\/strong>\u00a0God has harshly prohibited unlawful food because it leads to coldheartedness and paves for other sins. This was also mentioned in the lecture of Al imam Al Husein (pbuh) for his enemies on the day of Ashura:\u201d Your stomachs were filled with unlawful food\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n

*<\/strong>\u00a0We read in the 5th verse of Surah Al Ma\u2019ida the lawfulness of the people of the book\u00a0\u201cThe food of the People of the Book is lawful unto you\u201d<\/strong>. This gracious verse says: every animal that the Name of God is not mentioned on before slaughtering it is unlawful to be eaten. Because the people of The Book used not to mention the Name of God on their slaughtered animals, we can conclude that their food was unlawful and that what is mentioned in this verse includes their food made of grains and alike, but not meat.[2]<\/p>\n

*\u00a0<\/strong>\u200fThe satanic temptation happens as follows: the dead animal is God\u2019s slain and God\u2019s slain is better than a human\u2019s slain! Then, how are dead bodies prohibited but an animal killed by a human being is lawful? These thoughts take place when a human being attempts to forget that applying God\u2019s provisions is more important than all of this.<\/p>\n

Percepts:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1-\u00a0<\/strong>A Muslim should respect the religious commitments even in food and nutrition,\u00a0\u201cDo not eat from that which the Name of Allah has not been mentioned\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2-<\/strong>\u00a0Mentioning the name of God when slaughtering an animal is not a formal or ceremonial matter, but it\u2019s a duty; ignoring it is immoral (fisq), and it\u2019s immoral.<\/p>\n

3-\u00a0<\/strong>Where the lack of faith is more severe, it is necessary to emphasize, because in the pre-Islamic era, the people\u2019s acceptance of the conditions of the ornament of slaughtering was a difficult matter, and we note here that God, Glory be to Him, raised the issue in the context of multiple affirmations. The sentence \u201cand it is fisq (it\u2019s immoral)\u201d is nominative, and the tool is \u201cin\u201d and the letter \u201clam\u201d is for emphasis. (Arabic grammatical explanations)<\/p>\n

4-\u00a0<\/strong>Because of eating unlawful food, a human being becomes more able to accept the satanic temptations,\u00a0\u201cand do not eat\u2026 the evil impulses\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n

5-\u00a0<\/strong>Satans have the ability to make temptations,\u00a0\u201cthe evil impulses\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n

6-\u00a0<\/strong>The satanic temptations affect their guided one not God followers,\u00a0\u201cthe evil impulses their guided ones\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n

7-<\/strong>\u00a0People\u2019s arguments result from the satanic temptations and their desires?\u201d the evil impulses\u2026 to argue with you\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n

8-\u00a0<\/strong>Arguing in God\u2019s provisions is one of the evil\u2019s weapons and arrestings,\u201d the evils\u2026 to argue with you\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n

9-\u00a0<\/strong>Arguing in the religious provisions leads people to polytheism,\u00a0\u201cto argue with you\u2026 you shall indeed become idolaters\u201d<\/strong>.[3]<\/p>\n

10-\u00a0<\/strong>Monotheists who practically obey other than God are idolaters,\u201dyou\u2019re idolaters\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n
