WE HINDUS CONSIDER COW AS HOLY WHY THEN MUSLIMS EAT COW?

Ans:

This is one of the common question We Muslim face by the Hindus, why you eat cow? Eat other animal’s goat etc... But don't kill cow and eat...

Even after given all the proof of scientific how well for the health etc... Yet they oppose on eating cow, even its allowed in our Islam.

Normally it’s a Misconception amongst the Hinds that Non-veg is prohibited in Hindu scriptures .We are trying make aware the Hindus about their religious scripture that it’s allowed to have Non-Veg as well Cow.

In India many especially political parties they take up this issue, provoke the innocent people against Muslims in order to gain Vote bank. We have no intention of force Hindus to eat Cow or Non-Veg but to make aware that it’s also allowed in Hindus scriptures. At least it will prevent rift or riots between two communities InshaAllah.

THE BEST REPLY:

WE EAT BECAUSE IT MENTION IN VEDAS TO EAT COW!!

Allah says in the Qur’an
“Come to common terms as between as and you “
[Al-Qur’an ch 3 Verses 64]

We don’t have any problem agreeing with what is similar in the Islam and Hinduism, if anything contradicts with teaching of Islam then we don’t agree with that.

We can reply that we eat cow because Vedas and other Hindus scripture allowed to eat , I am following this teaching of Vedas ,Upanishads and other scriptures , which allowed to eat cow.

Note: according to the most authentic scripture of Hinduism Vedas ,Upanishad cow is not God.

[Manu Smruti, the law book of Hindus, in chapter 5 verse 30]

"Eating meat is right for the sacrifice; this is traditionally known as a rule of the gods."
[Manu Smruti, the law book of Hindus, in chapter 5 verse 31]

[Manu Smruti, the law book of Hindus, in chapter 5 verse 39-40]

ACCORDING TO THE MAHABHARATA

Yudhishthira and Pitamah Bhishma about what food one should offer to Pitris (ancestors) during the Shraddha (ceremony of dead) to keep them satisfied. Paragraph reads as follows:
"Yudhishthira said, "O thou of great puissance, tell me what that object is which, if dedicated to the Pitiris (dead ancestors), become inexhaustible! What Havi, again, (if offered) lasts for all time? What, indeed, is that which (if presented) becomes eternal?"

"Bhishma said, "Listen to me, O Yudhishthira, what those Havis are which persons conversant with the rituals of the Shraddha (the ceremony of dead) regard as suitable in view of Shraddha and what the fruits are that attach to each. With sesame seeds and rice and barely and Masha and water and roots and fruits, if given at Shraddhas, the pitris, O king, remain gratified for the period of a month. With fishes offered at Shraddhas, the pitris remain gratified for a period of two months. With the mutton they remain gratified for three months and with the hare for four months, with the flesh of the goat for five months, with the

bacon (meat of pig) for six months, and with the flesh of birds for seven. With venison obtained from those deer that are called Prishata, they remaingratified for eight months, and with that obtained from the Ruru for nine months, and with the meat of Gavaya for ten months, With the meat of the bufffalo their gratification lasts for eleven months. With beef presented at the Shraddha, their gratification, it is said , lasts for a full year. Payasa mixed with ghee is as much acceptable to the pitris as beef. With the meat of Vadhrinasa (a large bull) the gratification of pitris lasts for twelve years. The flesh of rhinoceros, offered to the pitris on anniversaries of the lunar days on which they died, becomes inexhaustible. The potherb called Kalaska, the petals of kanchana flower, and meat of (red) goat also, thus offered, prove inexhaustible. So but natural if you want to keep your ancestors satisfied forever, you should serve them the meat of red goat.
[Mahabharata Anushashan Parva chapter 88]

SWAMI VIVEKANANDA

"You will be astonished if I tell you that, according to the old ceremonials, he is not a good Hindu who does not eat beef. On certain occasions he must sacrifice a bull and eat it." [The complete works of Swami Vivekananda, Volume 3, Pg 536]
In the same volume he says,
"There was a time in this very India when, without eating beef, no Brahmin could remain a Brahmin;"
[The complete works of Swami Vivekananda, Volume 3, Pg 174]

Hinduism was influenced by other religions

Though Hindu Scriptures permit its followers to have non-vegetarian food, many Hindus adopted the vegetarian system because they were influenced by other religions like Jainism.
