YOU CAN NOT. THE BIBLE WARNING ABOUT IT. Hebrews 13:9-10 KJV
Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.

Eating Ileya meat is not profitable to the christian. it rather help us portray our self as an Esau. Don't forget they are our brother chased away. if u eat with them ,you became like them, a slave. Eating with them is spiritual don't sell yourself cheaply with a piece or bulk of meat . I do eat it before when I was in school but I am informed I can never make the mistake.

1st Corinthians 8 vs 1-13 says you can eat it, though not advisable.

Al-hamdullilah I've seen the light of Al-Islam and will never depart from it. So many ignorant folks calling themselves christians here. We should be forgiving and enlighten as I was fooled for years too.

Their god who send down RUMOUR is the only true god. If their god in his absoluteness could send down RUMOUR from heaven then why do you think their godlike pastors can't teach them more rumour. (Obadiah 1.1 and Jeremiah 49.14) arguing with some of them is like pouring water in basket and expecting it to be full.

Did Jesus (prophet Isah) preach or proclaim any religion or new way of life when alive or didn't he say he came to only fulfil the scriptures.

Abraham had a first child from his wife's maid Hagar called Ishmael and he was asked to sacrifice "his only begotten child" (Heb. 11.17, Gen. 22.2) if isaac were born then won't the bible say his legitimate son. The test on Abraham was done long before Isaac was born and is even well stated that he was asked to sacrificed his only son not sarah's only son. Ishmael was 14years older than Isaac. Yet some dull ignorant bigots who are spoonfed lies and fables swallow hook and sinker. I guess their god didn't know the meaning of the word "only begotten son" or he forgot Abraham has another child 14years older.

If Paul is the rallying point of early christians then all christians should be catholics since he was the first pope and he authored many books in the new testaments. Not even disciples of Jesus match the reverence Paul had.

One igronant stereotype bigot is comparing eid adha with christmas. Go read about what christmas is all about and even easter then you know your pastors and reverends have been making you worship roman gods since ages and ponder why jehovah witnesses don't celebrate both.

Islam is never about human beings writing their biography and autobiography it is the complete. Way of life God wants human to live. The ways of the Prophet is recorded separate from the quran so as not to mix up God divine Will from the way the Prophet a messenger, a creation like all prophets before him lived
Al-hamdullilah I'm a Muslim now
If any wont eat the sallah meat it is better to politely reject than go throw it away that itself is a sin. When I was younger we did so and it never affected the relationship with our neighbours. It is height of wickedness to go throw away something someone used his hardearned money to procure and present to you on a platform. Of good neighbourliness

Your ignorance no get part 2.

If you were told this, go slap whoever did. If you assumed it yourself, slap yourself.

Before any Muslim kills any meat, he/she says a little prayer. Sallah or no Sallah. Maybe you need to stop eating meat from the local abattoir then cos they are prayed on
Method of Sacrifice
The animal for slaughter should be laid on
its left side facing Kaabah and its throat
cut open with a sharp knife, and its blood
allowed to drain. In the case of a camel, it
should be allowed to remain standing
after its left fore leg has been stringed. A
sharp spear should then be thrust in its
bosom and on both sides of its neck, and
the blood allowed to drain.
Dua for Sacrifice
Bismillaahi wallaahu ‘Akbar [Allaahumma
minka wa laka] Allaahumma taqabbal
minnee.

1 cor 8 vs 4
4 Therefore concerning the eating of things offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one. 5 For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many gods and many lords), 6 yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live. 7 However, there is not in everyone that knowledge; for some, with consciousness of the idol, until now eat it as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. 8 But food does not commend us to God; for neither if we eat are we the better, nor if we do not eat are we the worse. 9 But beware lest somehow this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to those who are weak. 10 For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating in an idol’s temple, will not the conscience of him who is weak be emboldened to eat those things offered to idols? 11 And because of your knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?

Dear Seun,
It is so sad that you allow moderators like maclatunji(or whatever his name is ) to exist on Nairaland. This sentimental moderator, that thinks he is doing the will of his god just banned one of my nairaland accounts.
Its so sad that when websites gain prominence, they begin to treat users with utter disdain. No one has the right to hide any post if the post has OBJECTIVE backing, just the way atheists attack God, because they can back their posts.
With due respect, considering the fact that you employed 'this' moderator, I hereby plead with you, as a law abiding Nairalander, that Misogynist2014, should be unblocked. I sincerely and eagerly wait for your much needed response. lipsrsealed
Yours Sincerely,

Am not really sure if its okay for christians to eat ileya meat. Some people will call it food offered to idols, but the bible permits us to eat any kind of meat. So is it okay to eat ileya meat?
the Bible permit us to eat any kind of meat be it dog,cat,snake,cow,chicken e.t.c....but remember the "ileya meat " Is for a purpose....the purpose is what will make u eat it or not...
now my question is can a Christian eat dog meat sacrificed to ogun during ogun festival since the Bible permits us to eat any kind of meat....??....let's be careful in our ways as Christians and try to mitigate controversy on simple and straight forward issues....it's only an half baked Muslim that will eat your Christmas food or meat...I know about the religion very very well. ..@just my opinion #

kamo2930yahoo:
But how do you want the muslims in this thread to feel with this your question? Huh? Am a Christian, but this question aint supposed to be asked here.
Thank you for asking... Actually, as little as the happenings "here"(in this website and this country as a whole) may seems, they are actually the kind of things that some used to justify their terrorism, Oppression. This is a classic example of oppression that Muslims do talk about, in this case a "mental oppression", how? Let me explain.

1. On a Muslims day of celebration, a thread that potentially ridicule Islamic believe is promoted to the front page.

2. A thread where your fellow Christian 'commentors' termed Islamic rights an act of Idolatry is left on the front page on the day of sallah celebration, same thread that is.

The oppression comes in because this would never happen were this to be the other way round. Seun and his Mods would most probably hardly move a topic asking of "Muslims" views on "Christians" acts during a celebration on the "Christians" day of the same celebration. XMass is coming and I do hope they would prove me wrong, of which I doubt. Except if its about terrorism, moving a topic concerning Muslim n Islam to the front page is hell, even Fridays while not less than 3-5 xtains topics makes FP every Sundays. Double standards against Islam n Muslims in diff ways.

You asked how we feel... Well, I believe generally, its very bad and it really hurts and quite annoying but...personally(me of present days), it doesn't hurt a little, infact I care less because I hv come across many brainless ignoramuses and I have met n read many peoples bigotry about my religion of which I am now used to but then, what about the millions out there who would be badly hurt with such? Simple...some of them are easily recruited to fight this menace in the name of the religion. Shalom...

xwolverine:


The problem is not the meat in itself, it's the ideology behind the whole exercise, which aims to desecrate the holy bible by giving legitimacy to an illegitimate event. The Bible instructed Abraham to sacrifice Isaac not Ishmael as the Muslims would have us believe, this singular context makes it wrong for a christian to eat Ileya meat, because by so doing you are unknowingly accepting the lie aimed at corrupting the lineage of Christ, which was through Isaac.

For those trying to blackmail Christians with Halal meat, by saying if you've eaten meat in the southwest, that you've eaten ileya meat. I will say this, they are two unrelated contexts, one is generic while the other is aimed at corrupting the origins of Christ, please do not be deceived and be ignorant.

This is the singular reason why all the Islamic expeditions of the Ottoman empire was aimed at identifying the burial grounds of all the prophets in the Bible, and once identified, mosques were built on them. The main reason is to give legitimacy to an illegitimate belief.

To answer you: God told us to sacrifice. We honour God command to sacrifice, we celebrate
in commemoration of Ibraham's sacrifice. The animal is faced in one direction by all Muslims in the world, same direction Muslims face when they pray and God has told us that facing any direction at all doesn't signify righteousness, it is killed by saying in the name of God, what is idolatry all this? Your ignorance! No?

Pretty sure I have answered you, without listing out the idolatry acts of you xtians of which I have no interest, I believe you alrdy know them. And of course, "everyone to his believe", even the Quran says that.
