About the Book: This pioneering modern classic examines the Islamic principles of kindness and compassion toward animals. It compares animal sacrifice as practiced by the world’s major religions and highlights the ethical issues that the mass production of meat raises, advocating alternative ways to produce halal meat in an appropriate manner.

For six years he served as a joint editor of the monthly Islamic Review. He was fluent in English, classical Arabic, Urdu, Hindustani, Punjabi, and Kiswahili.
Hina Sami –
It never ceases to amaze me that there is a book on practically every topic written from an Islamic perspective. This one is a great read for any one who has to research about Animal rights, cruelty against animals, correct ways for animal farming, from our paradigm – the Islamic world view.
