First of all, I would like to wish 'Bodu Bala Sena' an advanced 'Subha Aluth Avuruddak'. And I am going to help 'Bodu Bala Sena' differentiate Halaal food from others, so it would be easier for them to refrain from consuming Halaal food even by mistake.
According to Islam, food can be classified as either Halaal, Haraam or Makruh. Since, 'Bodu Bala Sena' knows more about Halaal than Muslims themselves, let's see the other categories of foods.
Haraam
'Bodu Bala Sena' say that they do not want Halaal, which means, they are more interested in Haraam. The Arabic term 'Haraam' means 'sinful'. According to Islam, Haraam food involves the following.
- Meat from swine.
- Pork based products and by-products.
- Human flesh.
- Animals improperly slaughtered.
- Animals already dead before slaughtering is due to take place (except for fish).
- Animals killed or sacrificed in the name of others than Allah.
- Intoxicants.
- Carnivorous animals (e.g. cat, lion, tiger, fox,dog).
- Birds of prey (e.g. vulture, eagle, owl).
- Land animals without external ears (e.g. snake, reptiles, worms, insects).
- Animals that have been ordered the killing of (e.g. gecko, scorpion).
- Animals which are forbidden to kill (e.g. bee, frog).
- Blood and blood by-products.
- Urine, faeces, phlegm, pus and other nasty fluids.
- Poisonous and narcotic products.
- Food contaminated with any of the above mentioned products.
Makruh
They can consider on Makruh as well. The Arabic term 'Makruh' means 'detested' i.e. which are disliked by Allah but not Haraam. Muslims are advised that it's better to avoid such food (e.g. horse).
Hence, my dear friends of 'Bodu Bala Sena', are you sure that you are going to consume any of the above foods for 'Avurudu'? If you are to avoid Halaal, it effectively means that you should consume the above mentioned things. I don't think that it is a very good idea. Am I right?
Further, I am sure that 'Kiribath', 'Kavum', 'Kokis', 'Aasmi', 'Pani Valalu' and all the other yummy 'Avurudu' cuisine does not include any of the above mentioned Haraam contaminated in it. If those yummy 'Avurudu Kama' does not include, Haraam contaminated products, isn't it Halaal? Hence, my dear friends of 'Bodu Bala Sena',
Do you still think that you have won the battle against Halaal?
I think not!
"Therefore, eat of what Allah has provided for you (which is) lawful and good. And be grateful for the favor of Allah, if it is (indeed) Him that you worship."
The Glorious Quran- Surah An-Nahl (The Bee). Chapter 16. Verse 114.
First of all Bodu Bala sena never said anything about stoping halal foods... its just halal "certificate'
ReplyDeletesecond of all sinhala people doesn't celebrate Aurudu with Meat from swine or Pork based products and by-products or Human flesh or any of the above... 3rd you need to get your head out of your ass
I don't agree with you even a single bit. I reply to you the way you have questioned me.
ReplyDelete1. It is not about the certificate. It is about the food. Because, I myself came across posters saying that 'Avurudu meseta Halaal epa', 'Mey avuruddha halaal nathuwa samaramu' and 'Sinhala avuruddata Muslim kadawalwalin badu ganna epa'. All with the logo of the so called Bodu Bala Sena. Now that the logo is no more. If it is about the logo, why should they carry such hatred campaigns against Muslims?
2. Being raised in a Sinhalese Buddhist village I know how Sinhalese brothers and sisters celebrate. I never said that Sinhalese people celebrate Avurudu with swine, pork, human flesh, blood or any of the above mentioned products. What I have mentioned is that, if a product to be not Halaal, it should include any of the above. If it doesn't include any of such, it automatically is Halaal. And if Bodu Bala Sena does not want Halaal, do they want the Sinhalese Buddhists to consume Haraam products?
3. The way you have commented, clearly shows who has their head inside the place you've mentioned.
Therefore my friend, read carefully before you comment.
Thank You!
