Most cursory students of Islam regard it as an unquestionably carnivorous religion. However, as is obvious from this study, a closer look reveals that vegetarianism and Sabeanism and the indisputably vegetarian Book of Enoch are seen over and over again in the Quran.  The Quran presents the animals of the earth as being no different from the people of the earth. This is perfectly in line with the Ethiopic Book of Enoch. Note that Allah makes it perfectly clear that other animals deserve the same respect as humans: "they are peoples like unto you."

      "There is not an animal in the earth, nor a flying creature flying on two wings, but they are peoples like unto you.  We have neglected nothing in the Book (of Our decrees). Then unto their Lord they will be gathered." Surah 6, Verse 38

     The fact that Paradise is described most of the time as a vegetarian paradise, as a fruitful garden where streams flow, rather than a haven for carnivores, lets even the new reader of the Quran suspect that--as the Shias (Shi'ites), have said from the beginning--the original words of the Quran have been tampered with. This is rather easily proven. The Quran is much like the Old and New Testament in that respect, full of assertions of both vegetarianism and carnivorism, as well as assertions of both egalitarianism and slavery.
The pages above on this web site have given ample demonstrations of the contradictory scriptures that exist in the Old and New Testaments..

       In reality, however, as in the case of the Old and New Testament, it is easy to see the contradictions. Moreover, armed as they are now with the medical research throughout the world pronouncing animal fat as detrimental to human health, with statements from the American Medical Association, statements from personnel of Harvard and Princeton, and the heart, cancer, and diabetes foundations, the vegetarian communities of the world, not just Hindus and Buddhists, but vegan and vegetarian communities proliferating everywhere, are now being regarded as safeguarding health, rather than as proliferating disease, as are the carnivorous orthodoxies of Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

      "There is not an animal in the earth, nor a flying creature flying on two wings, but they are peoples like unto you.  We have neglected nothing in the Book (of Our decrees). Then unto their Lord they will be gathered."

    Every orthodox Muslim knows that the Quran praises the Sabeans as "people of the Book." Although what "people of the Book" originally meant is controversial, it is not controversial that the Sabeans are praised. The Sabeans were (mainly) vegetarian followers of Shiva.  This is one more bit of evidence substantiating the claims of the Muslim Shi'ites, or Shias, namely, that the lineage of authority was to pass on to the vegetarian Hazrat Ali, and not to Omar and Bakr.  We should take their claims in context of the following facts about Islam:

1. The Sacred Stone is a Shiva lingam, a pillar that has been broken into seven
pieces.  This is universally acknowledged. See the Theosophical Glossary, Sword of Truth, and commentaries by Shauvite and Vaishnava Hindus.

2. The Quran praises the Sabeans, who are vegetarian. The Sabeans are followers of Saba, aka Seba, aka Sheba, who is none other than Shiva. The Sabbath and the Sabaoth are named after Saba or Sheba. In ancient Hebrew the Sabbath is Shabbath.  While people in ancient times could overthrow the vegetarian Asherah devotees who remained true to the vegetarian covenant in "Genesis," they couldn't overthrow the ancient Hebrew language. And just as it was in India, ancient Canaan, Juda and Israel, religious names and concepts were ingrained in the language. It is known that Muhammad visited vegetarian Sabean wilderness communities. (Robert Eisenman, James the Brother of Jesus) Jesus' name to the Muslims, Tibetans and Hindus, was Isa, which is a name of Shiva, and thus we can see that the true religion taught by Jesus was regarded as being in the Sabean tradition as well, though it was subverted by Paul, as numerous Muslim writers inform us.

3. The Quran has numerous passages stating that Gardens of Vegetation await
the true Muslim.  We are all quite aware that the Quran we now have also not only allows, but commands, animal sacrifices.  Those sections affirming carnivorism, as we shall see, were later accretions and revisions made by the party opposed to the original vegetarian and egalitarian teachings of Islam.

4. Muhammad was vegetarian. This is admitted even by Sunnis. Some say he
ate meat if it was offered. Even Sunnis admit that Muhammad warned people
about consuming flesh. Interesting, even some Sunni scholars do not even mention that
Muhammad ate flesh, but present him as totally vegetarian.

5. Ali, like Muhammad was vegetarian. The Shias claim that Ali was to be the
heir to Muhammad's authority after Muhammad's death, but that this authority was usurped by Omar and Bakr.

6. (Muhammad in) the Quran praises Hud as the true prophet. The word Hud is
the same as Howde in ancient Hebrew, meaning India. Muhammad was
attempting to secure the original scriptures of the Quran from being perverted by later generations, by pointing to India as the nation that believed in the same deity, Shiva.

From Strong's Hebrew Dictionary: Entry 1912 Hoduw, ho'doo, Hodu (i.e.
Hindustan) , India. Ancient Hebrew is based primarily on consonants, so HD,
seen either as Hod or Hud, is also the root of Jehudea, the earlier form of the
name of Judah or Judea.

7. Scholars and seers in the ancient Arabian cultures, as noted by Chaturvedi in
his Sword of Truth.com  articles, venerated their Hind or Hindu ancestry.

8. Allah is described as The Lord of Seven Worlds or Heavens in the Quran.
This is a well-known attribute of Shiva.

9. Ramman, an aspect of Allah, and Ramadan, the time of fasting, both derive from Ramah, one of the deities of Hinduism.

10. The Quran affirms the Family of Creation in Surah 6: Verse 38.

      "There is not an animal in the earth, nor a flying creature flying on two wings, but they are peoples like unto you.  We have neglected nothing in the Book (of Our decrees). Then unto their Lord they will be gathered."

11. The Ummat, the followers of Allah, took their name from Umma, the mate of Shiva.

    The Ummat, the followers of Allah, took their name from Umma, the mate of
Shiva, just as the nation, community, and people of Israel named themselves
Umma after her. Umma means people, congregation and nation in ancient
Hebrew.  There can be hardly any doubt that the Hebrew word for mother is
related. And ancient Hebrew, like Arabic, are both languages stemming from
Sanskrit.  Umma and Shiva both lived in the wilderness and were vegetarian.

12. The Quran over and over again refers to the indisputably vegetarian Book of Enoch.  The crumbling of the mountains and the lashing of the sinners with metal implements, symbolizing that they are being punished for teaching humans the predatory ways of civilization, are seen in both works.

13. Muhammad's name means The Great Pillar (of Shiva is understood). The Mu is like the Hindu Maha and ancient Hebrew Mah, meaning great or mighty, and ammad means pillar.

14. The Quran is emphatic in its concern that Allah's original covenant not be broken, and in context of the above, it is obvious that that is the vegetarian covenant of Genesis 1: 29-30.
