Ulwazi lokuqala ngokwenzeka ezilaheni lwangifikela ngemva kokufunda incwadi ethi “Fast Food Nation”, eyayikhuluma ngokuphathwa kabi kwezilwane ezilaheni. Ukuthi ngithukile ngingasho lutho. Ngaleso sikhathi, ngabona ukuthi ngangingazi lutho ngalesi sihloko. Ngokwengxenye, ukungazi kwami kungase kube ngenxa yemibono engenangqondo yokuthi umbuso “uzivikela” kanjani izilwane ezifuywa ukuze zidliwe, uzenzele izimo ezifanele nokunye. Ngingakwamukela ukuphathwa okunyanyekayo kwezilwane nendawo ehlala e-US, kodwa thina bantu baseCanada sihlukile, akunjalo? Kwakuyimicabango yami leyo.
Iqiniso laba ukuthi cishe ayikho imithetho eCanada evimbela unya lwezilwane ezimbonini. Izilwane zingashaywa, zidlwengulwe, zicwiywe, ngaphezu kwezimo ezibuhlungu lapho ukuphila kwazo okufushane kudlula khona. Wonke lawo mazinga anqunywe yiCanadian Food Inspectorate awasetshenziswa ngempela ekuphishekeleni ukukhiqiza inyama eyengeziwe. Imboni yenyama neyobisi eCanada, njengakwamanye amazwe, ihlotshaniswa nomonakalo omkhulu emvelweni, impilo, futhi-ke, isimo sengqondo esesabekayo ezilwaneni.
Ngokusabalala kwalo lonke ulwazi oluyiqiniso mayelana nemboni yenyama, kwaqala ukunyakaza okuqhubekayo kwezakhamuzi ezikhathalelayo, kuhlanganise namaSulumane, akhetha ukudla okunokuziphatha okusekelwe esitshalweni.
Akumangalisi ukuthi amaSulumane adla imifino angumthombo wempikiswano, uma kungenjalo ingxabano. Izazi zefilosofi zamaSulumane, njengoGamal Al-Banna ongasekho, ziye zathi: .
U-Al-Banna uthi:
U-Hamza Yusuf Hanson, umSulumane waseMelika owaziwayo, uxwayisa ngomthelela omubi wemboni yenyama emvelweni nasezimisweni zokuziphatha, kanye nempilo ngenxa yokusetshenziswa ngokweqile kwenyama. UYusuf uqinisekile ukuthi ngokombono wakhe, amalungelo ezilwane kanye nokuvikelwa kwemvelo akuyona imiqondo engajwayelekile yenkolo yamaSulumane, kodwa kuyigunya likaNkulunkulu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ucwaningo lukaYusuf lukhomba ukuthi uMprofethi wamaSulumane uMuhammad kanye namaSulumane okuqala babedla inyama ngezikhathi ezithile.
I-Vegetarianism akuwona umqondo omusha kwamanye amaSufists. Isibonelo, u-Chishti Inayat Khan, owethula izimiso zamaSufi emazweni aseNtshonalanga, uSufi Sheikh Bawa Muhayaddin ongasekho, owayengavumeli ukusetshenziswa kwemikhiqizo yezilwane ekhona. URabia wasedolobheni laseBasra (Iraq) ungomunye wabesifazane abangcwele baseSufi abahlonishwa kakhulu.
Uma ubheka kwesinye isici senkolo, ungathola, ngokuqinisekile, abaphikisi bemifino. I-Ministry of Religious Endowments yaseGibhithe ikholelwa ukuthi . Ukuchazwa okudabukisayo okunjalo kokukhona kwezilwane kulo mhlaba, ngeshwa, kukhona emazweni amaningi, kuhlanganise namaSulumane. Ngikholwa ukuthi ukucabanga okunjalo kuwumphumela oqondile wokuchazwa kabi komqondo kaKhalifa eQur'an.
Igama lesi-Arabhu, njengoba lihunyushwa izazi zamaSulumane uDkt. Nasr kanye noDkt. Khalid, lisho "umqaphi, umnakekeli" ogcina ibhalansi nobuqotho boMhlaba. Lezi zazi zikhuluma ngomqondo weKhalifa “njengesivumelwano” esikhulu imiphefumulo yethu eyangena kuso ngokukhululeka noMdali oNgcwele, futhi esibusa zonke izenzo zethu kulo mhlaba.
((Funda iKoran 40:57.). Umhlaba uwuhlobo lwendalo oluphelele kakhulu, kuyilapho umuntu eyisivakashi sawo futhi uwuhlobo oluncane lokubaluleka. Kulokhu, thina bantu kufanele sifeze imisebenzi yethu ngohlaka lokuthobeka, ukuthobeka, hhayi ukuphakama ngaphezu kwezinye izinhlobo zokuphila.
I-Qur'an ithi izinsiza zomhlaba zingezabantu kanye nezilwane. (IKoran 55:10).
