 |
23. "Food and
appearance"
|
|
1.
|
In the name of thy Lord who creates all things. |
|
2.
|
Awaken your minds to the beauty of Allah’s creation. |
|
3.
|
Behold! He has created All things. |
|
4.
|
Bless his name by honoring the food and drink that you eat. |
|
5.
|
What then of the command to not partake of pig, nor animal who feeds off flesh? |
|
6.
|
“Unclean”, you cry dutifully. |
|
7.
|
For you are told that any animal that lives in filth is unfit for food. |
|
8.
|
Yet is this so? | |
9.
|
Verily, it is the Lord who speaks. |
|
10.
|
Behold! A dirty mind is far worse than a yard of pigs. |
|
11.
|
Why then this command? |
|
12.
|
Shall I tell you the reason for the original command of Allah? |
|
13.
|
That all living creatures that dream do not pass with great regret and anguish. That all living things are respected. |
|
14.
|
That all the creations of Allah are respected. |
|
15.
|
The pig is no more dirty than the cow, nor the chicken. |
|
16.
|
The crow is no more dirty than the fowl. |
|
17.
|
All life has a purpose, all life has a term. |
|
18.
|
Behold! All those who have ears, listen to the words of thy Lord. |
|
19.
|
You who are ignorant see merely these commands as cleanliness. |
|
20.
|
Yet it is much more, it is the cleanliness of purpose, of action. |
|
21.
|
Hate spawns hate. | |
22.
|
Regret fills regret. | |
23.
|
When you treat the creations of Allah with disrespect, to disrespect Him. |
|
24.
|
When you cage them up, denying them respect, |
|
25.
|
When you beat on them and torture them, |
|
26.
|
When you kill them most cruelly, you insult your Lord, you defile His name. |
|
27.
|
Awaken then to His wisdom and call. |
|
28.
|
Do not relish your ignorance, for fear of your soul in jeapordy. |
|
29.
|
Respect all living things. |
|
30.
|
This is the command of Allah. | |
