    Quote: "In Sufism, veganism was often a practice used to achieve a certain spiritual goal; it was centred around the improvement of humans who practised it, rather than the animals whose lives were spared, although the latter also held value, as creatures of God."
    • ALT1 ... that Muslim vegetarians replace the Eid sacrifice with donations or fasting? Source: Leaman, Oliver; Shaikh, Zinnira (2022). "Heresy or Moral Imperative? Islamic Perspectives on Veganism". Routledge handbook of Islamic ritual and practice.
      Quote: "Masri states that the “original purpose of offering gifts (hady) at the sacred house of Kaʻbah was to succour the ancient Meccans who were the descendants of Prophet Abraham in response to his prayer in verse 14:37”. At the time, offering meat was the best thing to do since it was in the middle of an infertile land. Now that the Meccans are more than able to provide food of all sorts for themselves, gifting meat is not only unnecessary but a nuisance for the government to deal with. Masri proposes gifting cash instead, since this can be more useful. He notes that the Qur´an itself offers alternatives, even in the form of acts of worship, such as fasting, feeding the poor, or “whatever kind of offering is available” in verse 2:196.10."

Created by Le Loy (talk). Self-nominated at 09:34, 13 March 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Islamic vegetarianism; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
  • Cited: Yes - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
  • Interesting: Yes
QPQ: None required.
Overall: Quite interesting article about vegetarianism and islam, a practice and a religion that most of the people perceive as antithetic. Newness and length are ok, both hooks are interesting, AGF on them, since most of the sources are offline. Earwig's copyvio toll gives a mere 9% on the online sources. No QPQ needed. About the hooks, I prefer ALT1, since not everyone can link sufism with islam. Good to go! Alex2006 (talk) 18:49, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
