New Research @ UMP

Research Title

DEVELOPMENT OF ISLAMIC PERSONAL COMPREHENSIVE GUIDELINES AND KIT COMPLIANT WITH HALAL-ADHERED SLAUGHTER PROCEDURES
Research Background

To become the halal hub for the region and in line with the increasing numbers of peoples involve with halal food productions, especially those in the industrial sectors (sme’s food product etc.), the need for knowledge on Islamic slaughter guidelines is crucial. A comprehensive guidelines will help individuals in performing the in-house slaughter of animals in a proper way. Without proper knowledge, a muslim cannot perform the slaughter according to the Islamic guidelines and as a result the animal slaughtered is considered haram (impermissible) and unlawful to be eaten.
As reported by newspapers and TV interviews, spotchecks made by the religious authority in poultry farms have discovered alarming findings. It is observed that almost all slaughtermen in these industries fail to prove that they are knowledgeable in halal slaughter and related procedures and guidelines. Moreover, the farms have no written guidelines and procedures for practical implementation of slaughter.
Niche Area Leader Comment

Since halal does matter to any muslims, and it involves among others the slaughter (in case of animals) as the most important condition to the legitimate halal and to become permissible to eat by muslims. As such, the area of research is justified by the need of proper knowledge on the guidelines and appropriate kit to perform the slaughter.
On the other hand, many muslims nowadays lack knowledge on the slaughter process and as result they are unable to determine whether the animal was slaughtered in compliance to Islamic syariah. Futhermore, the research output will help individuals in getting comprehensive knowledge for performing the slaughter by themselves.

1. To conduct survey using convenient sampling to justify the need of this particular knowledge
2. To develop a comprehensive guidelines to enable individuals mastering the implementation of the slaughter processes
3. To provide training program to muslim individuals who want to become a qualified and certified animal slaughterer
4. To provide functional kit to facilitate slaughter process.
5. To produce an academic module that could be taught as a selective subject to UMP students

Functional kit for slaughter (slaughter knive etc.)
Teaching VCD


Budget:
RM20,000.00 (Dua puluh ribu ringgit sahaja)

Assalamualaikum.



Ini adalah resepi sambal taitek mak yang boleh menjadi pemancas makan nasi terutama ketika tiada selera makan. Berasal dari zaman wek bongkok dulu kata mak.



Awas2nya ialah:

1. Kelapa parut sebiji (kalau boleh hendaklah yang sedikit muda kerana ia lebih sedap)

2. Lada kecil/ cili api (ikut perasaan banyak mana nak)

3. Ketumbar secukupnya

4. Garam secukupnya.



Semua bahan di campur dan digoreng dgn api perlahan sehingga kuning perang. Kemudian diangkat lalu ditumbuk dalam lesung batu lama. Sudah siap.

Boleh dihidang dengan dimakan dengan nasi panas tanpa kuah. Ada kuah boleh ganggu dan tiada konsentrasi. Makan tanpa laukpun tak mengapa ye.

Sekian dulu.
