JALAL

Jalal is a Semitic word, adopted into the Arabic language to mean done or prepared in the name of Allah. So, every Muslim whose religion is Islam are encourage to use, prepare, eat, and do anything in the name of Allah alone to be blessed. For example, if one will slaughter a cow, one would say Bismillah before cutting the major artery at the neck with a very sharp knife. The butcher should be sure that the cow does not show struggle. The meat will be drained of blood, washed before cooking. When one begins to cook, one would say Bismillah. When one is ready to eat, one would say Bismillah.


After eating, one would say Alhumdulillah! Shukran Allah! Or praise be to Allah and thank you! But, there are instances when one without duress have to eat food prepared in another way. In this instance, one may still eat without complain to show respect.
