Someone please explain the difference between halal and kosher. Thanks in advance.
To my knowledge “halal” meat is the result of allowing most of the blood to be drained by means of cutting the jugular veins
and carotid arteries of the slaughtered animal. The idea being that blood harbors germs.
Have no idea what makes anything “kosher”.
I've had Muslim associates eat Kosher in the states when there is no other options.
Obviously, in other areas of the world, is SE Asia, Halal, is pretty much the standard.
If I could, I put a Chick-fil-a in Singapore. Talk about making a killing. Chinese, Indian[No beef], Malay. Everyone loves chicken!
That's one of the reason, KFC is so popular.
In Dhabh, the name of Allah has to be invoked individually on each animal to be slaughtered as follows:“Bismillah, Allahu Akbar” (In the name of Allah; Allah is the Greatest)
However, in Shechita, it is sufficient to recite the name of God or grace once for the day for all slaughters.
Jewish Bible
In Kosher slaughtering, the Sochet (Jewish slaughterman) must perform the slaughter in a single, swift, uninterrupted sweep. In Islamic slaughter, the process must be carried in a single swift sweep by a sane Muslim man or woman. However, if he/she were to raise his/her hand before the Dhabh is completed and immediately returns to the process, it would still render the Halal meat.
Islam considers the entire cattle or sheep as Halal if duly slaughtered but Jews use only the fore-quarter as Kosher and consider the hind-quarter as non-Kosher.
Kosher red wine
Meat of rabbit, shell fish, wild hens, goose, and duck are considered permissible in the eyes of the Islamic Law but they are prohibited in Kashrut.
Islam prohibits all intoxicating alcohols, liquors, wines, and drugs. However, Kashrut considers all wines Kosher.
Mixing dairy and meat is prohibited in kosher foods, but is not an issue in halal.
Gelatin is considered Kosher (regardless of its origin, even from non-Kosher animals). If the Gelatin is of non-Halal (e.g. swine) origin, then Muslims consider it as Haram.
In cheese making, the end-product is regarded as Haram if enzymes from non-Halal sources are utilised. According to Kashrut, enzymes are considered mere secretion and all cheeses are Kosher, irrespective of the sources of the enzymes, even though they may be from non-Kosher animals. Kosher and halal foods are similar: Both prohibit the use of pork, pork products and blood in food
The first is an animal sacrificed to an idol (Lucifer), and the blood is left inside for awhile. Not good.
The second, if I read it right, means no dairy has been anywhere near it. The Bible states over and over not to boil the calf in it's mothers milk, so the Jewish keep meat and dairy far apart. In fact, in a lot of Jewish kitchens there are two sinks and two stoves all with separate silverware. Plus, the blood of the animal has to be drained immediately.
I hope I got the Kosher explanation right. (I KNOW I got the halal explanation right.)
