Some
objective Western researchers say after reading the hadith of Prophet
Mohammad, PBUH, “even in the slaughter of animals, the Prophet (SAW)
showed great gentleness and sensitivity. While he did not practice
vegetarianism, the hadiths clearly show that the Prophet was extremely
sensitive to the suffering of animals. Thus he recommends using sharp
knives and a good method so that the animal can die a quick death with
as little pain as possible. He also warned against slaughtering an
animal in the presence of other animals, or letting the animal witness
the sharpening of blades: to him that was equal to "slaughtering the
animal twice"; Prophet Mohammad, PBUH, said: “Allah Who is Blessed and
Exalted, has prescribed benevolence toward everything {and has ordained
that everything be done in a good way}; so, when you must kill a living
being, do it in the best manner and, when you slaughter an animal, you
should {use the best method and} sharpen your knife so as to cause the
animal as little pain as possible.” narrated by Imam Muslim. Prophet
Mohammad also said to a man who was sharpening his knife in the presence
of the animal: "do you intend inflicting death on the animal twice -
once by sharpening the knife within its sight, and once by cutting its
throat?' Hence, isn’t this prophet worthy of respect and reverence?
