I'm a butcher , i work 9 hours daily, and i must kill more than 500 animals. I used to pray for each ...?

Question

and every animal when i cut the throught. Business is very good for christmas and ramadan. Do you think i'll be in heaven soon because of my contribution to this special religous parties. Now we have this new machine. I just need to press the buttion. So i dont feel like to pray. Do i need to pray before i push the buttion?

i'm worried if another higher alien life form find us dumb and our meat is tasty.

Answer 1

I think that your job is very important. Saying that you kill the animal in the name of Allah/Adoni and then cutting the animal by the throat and letting the blood drain out makes the meat hallal/kosher.

If the animals are not killed by cutting the throat, then the prayer doesn't help.

Answer 2

I am a vegetarian. Not for a religious devotion, but only for the idea that these animals have a life and emotions. It is not necessary for people to kill and eat animals. I believe it is in-humane to do so. I am not criticizing you for what you do, I just do not think it is right. Well, I am not perfect. I still on occasion eat seafood, but for anything else I will not eat. I have been this way for three years and feel perfectly healthy. I am not lacking any nutrition at all. I work out every day and feel great. I think everyone can do the same.

Answer 3

No, there is but one essential criteria for entering heaven; belief in the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal savior from sin. There is no requirement for any other prayer than the one in which you request his forgiveness, and atonement for your sins.
If you are Muslim, remember that Mohammed was a prophet who came after Jesus, but did not claim he was the Messiah. Jesus declared, and was accepted by His disciples, that He was, and His death, burial and witnessed Resurrection declares Him to be The One.
You will not be in heaven soon unless you make this profession of faith. No doubt God has heard your prayers, but He has left you a path to follow, and if you are not obedient to that path, your prayers are useless!

Answer 4

thanks for this question. you're saying you're very busy round Ramadhan although the attitude of slaughter you aspect out isn't Halal. if you're Muslim and your organization is promoting this meat as being Zabiha or Halal then you honestly are enticing in merchandising a falsehood and any funds earned this way is likewise Haram. And Allah knows astounding. Peace and advantages, Salim

Answer 5

just because you slaughter the animals does not give you a ticket into heaven. you get into heaven by accepting that jesus was the ultimate sacrifice, so we don't need to sacrifice any more animals b/c jesus already burdened himself with our sins and died for us.

with that said, you can still pray before you press the button to slaughter the animals, to ask god for help to lighten your burdens about killing the animals. but i think god understands that we need to kill animals to eat and survive, as long as we don't torture them beforehand.

Answer 6

yes, i think you should buddy, actually we dont pray to god whn we slaughter the animals, we pray to them, we thank them tht their sacrifice will feed people....though sometimes this doesnt make any sense to me, but i guess we should thank them for their sacrifice and hope tht they'll be a human in next life...wht else can we do....they too have feelings, they too know whts happening, so i guess we must atleast aoplogise and thank them.

Answer 7

you need to pray since you're the one to press the button.

Answer 8

You didn't need to pray before you got "the button". Relax and enjoy.

Answer 9

Yes....if you feel like you should pray....then yes you should..a living creature's life is being taken..they are so Innocent... and are going to die...

Answer 10

Yes.
