Okay another question!
Umm during Ramzan..
Goat's are beheaded.
I know the story behind it that Ibrahim was willing to give his son to Allah but was instead asked to give the goat!
But umm isnt Goat killing a rather gruesome practise?
I understand the significant religious reasons behind it, but are they still valid in today's present times?
I love animals as well, hence this is the ONLY practise of Islam that I find hard to support.
Can someone suggest the current relevance and importance of this practise?
Actually this happens after Ramadan. First of all, ur aware that most of the ppl in the world eat meat and the thing that differs is the way of preparation. In Islam cattle should be slaughtered for two reasons. The first one is to get rid of all the blood because blood can cause serious diseases if consumed such as mad cow, salmonella, Ecoli, etc. The second one is to minimise the amount of time the animal can feel pain. Beheading cattle means they will only be conscious for 10 seconds maximum while other ways used by some western catering companies such as killing it by electric shocks will cause the animal to suffer more. Animals should never be slaughtered in front of each other and the process should be quick. This means that this way is, not only the healthiest, but the most humane way as well.
Guys please correct me if I'm wrong
As for the sects in Islam there are more than two, there are 72 to be accurate but the most well-known ones are the Sunni and Shia. Other religions such as Christianity and Judaism have many sects as well.
