FOOD PRODUCTION
The corporate world of the
capitalist economy has no concern with values. It worships the idol of profits.
This explains the sordid behavior of the tobacco companies. This also explains
the support given to the white South African government by the corporate world
of Euro-capitalism all through the years when the rest of mankind was
struggling against apartheid. It also explains their support for Israel.
Such a corporate world would
never attempt to challenge the movement towards increase of profits (in the
production of food) through the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides,
insecticides, genetic engineering etc. Yet when milk is produced through altering
the hormones in cows, as with all other products of genetic engineering when
applied to food, it can alter the composition of food and lead, among other
things. To a loss of chemo-preventative agents in food which can prevent,
cancer, for example. The following letter to the Editor of an American
newspaper published in 1994 is revealing;
Genes Tell Story Why Some
Get Cancer While Others Don’t (Science Times. May 17) is on track. Not only are
there markers to indicate where a specific alteration in DNA is, but there are assays
which may indicate the degree of DNA damage. There may also be chemo-preventative
agents to repair damaged DNA before the cell divides and thus prevent the
mutations that may cause cancer.
Perhaps we will find more
chemo-preventative agents occurring naturally in foods than laboratories can
ever produce.

The lesson which emerges from
this letter is that we should consume only that food which is pure and which,
as a consequence, has been produced the natural way. But the natural way of production
is labor intensive. As a consequence, food which as produced the natural way is
more expensive to produce and is thus becoming increasingly scarce. Corporate
farming pursues profit through chemical pesticides, genetic engineering etc. An
opportunity has presented itself for Muslims to enter into the field of food
production to produce food which is pure. That would be food which is produced
the natural way, i.e. organic farming. It will surely cost more to produce, but
it will be healthy food which, will prevent cancer. By making such food
available to Americans, and themselves consuming such food. Muslims will
advance the cause of Islam in USA through the elimination of one of the major
causes of illness in modem secular society.
A project of food production
represents an opportunity for Muslims to intervene in the name of Islam, the
religion, of nature, to provide that food which is pure and which has been
produced in accordance with nature (i.e. organic fanning). Such food can thus
function as nature intended:
i) as a source of nutrition
and energy.
ii) as a cure for certain
illnesses, and
iii) as a preventative for
diseases such as cancer.
Americans, who are
increasingly exposed to the growing risks of cancer (in particular breast
cancer) would respond with gratitude to Muslims for such a project. In the
process of intervening in such a positive way in the life of this country.
Muslims can achieve some success in counteracting the negative publicity which
the Jewish-controlled media is constantly using to demonize Islam and Muslims.
IMPORTANCE OF
DAIRY FARMING AND FOOD FARMING IN THE TIME OF FITAN
Abu Sa'eed
reported Allah’s Messenger as saying. The best wealth which a Muslim can
possess (i.e. in the time of fitan) will soon be sheep which he will take to
the sides of hills and to places where rain falls, fleeing with his religion
from civil strife.
(Bukhari}
Abu Bakar
reported Allah’s Messenger as saying: Commotions (insurgence) will arise after which other
commotions will arise, and then there will be a period of commotions in which
the one who sits will be better than the one who walks, and the one who walks is
better than the one who runs to it. When that happens he who has camels should
remain with his camels, and he who has sheep should remain with his sheep, and
he who has land should remain with his land.
(Muslim)
Please note the great wisdom
in this advice. When Muslims resort to dairy and food farming, it not only
ensures them provision of sustenance, but also, food which is not contaminated
by chemicals and hormone injections etc. Additionally, those whose wealth is in
animals and land will not be ripped off by the constantly decreasing real value
of wages, the constantly falling value of paper money and the concomitant
constantly rising prices.
They will sell neither their
animals nor their land, and hence their wealth will be preserved. It is those
whose labor is paid for in paper money or who must sell their goods or
properties for less and less, who will grow poorer and poorer, and eventually
end up in debt and working for slave wage. Others will live off their sweat.
The owners of animals, and
of land, who stick to the land, will not only deny the predatory elite the opportunity
to exploit them, but they can even increase their wealth if Allah the Most
Gracious, blesses their flocks and herds with manifold increase.
The wisdom in the advice of
sticking to land and to animals is also to be found in the doubt which will
attend all livelihood which is earned in a totally corrupted economy. When the
entire system is ripping of an individual, then that individual may end up
being forced to rip off others in order to earn his livelihood .And this is
precisely what happens when a business, operating from a high-priced rental
property, for example, pays to an adult man who is employed full-time, a wage
which is insufficient for him to minimally maintain himself and his family.
When that happens then the system would have succeeded in its quest to destroy
the faith of all of mankind.
Muslims who read this hook
should think seriously about disposing of assets find buying farmland and
animals with the cash obtained.
