RIGHT METHOD
We observe the right method for blessing the animal:
1. The neck of the animal is cut between the throat and the gullet.
2. All 4 major blood vessels are cut. (Even if only three are cut, it is still valid)
3. Neck is never severed completely.

MUSLIM SLAUGHTERER
The person doing the slaughter is strictly a muslim. One can technically also employ a person from “People of the Book”, but there are requirements that he should recite the name of “Allah” before doing the slaughter. And we are not sure if they would do that, so we chose to avoid that complication and strictly employ a muslim to do a slaughter.
NAME OF ALLAH
Name of Allah is taken at the time of slaughter. We feel it is Mustahabb (recommended way) to say "Bismillahi Allahu Akbar”. No other name is taken with “Allah”. Also, there isn’t any delay after saying “Bismillah” to slaughter an animal.
NO STUNNING
There can be lot of issues with stunning (making animal unconscious with electric current before slaughter).
1. Animal might die before slaughter when they are subjected to stunning. And one cannot slaughter a dead animal.
2. The variations in the sizes of animals (esp. chicken) and their individual resistance capacities mean that a blanket magnitude of current cannot be set.
3. Stunning causes less blood to flow out, means more blood in the meat. Blood is the source of all diseases.
4. Moreover, stunning is against the Prophet (S.A.W)'s sunnah.

INTENTION & CAPABILITY
We enforce that the person doing the slaughter is sane and mentally capable. Also, the only intention he does while doing the slaughter is “Zabiha”.
NO MACHINES
Every animal is slaughtered individually by hand with a sharp knife. We don’t employ any automated machines or rotating blades that cuts at great speed.
TEMPERATURE
While cleaning the animal after slaughter, temperature of water is never kept high which may cause the heat to permeate into the meat. And it may cause meat to spoil fast.
NO CONTAMINATION
We strictly enforce that the meat of a zabiha animal is not mixed with a non-zabiha animal. Packaging line for the meat of our zabiha animal is completely separate.
SEQUENCE
We try to do the process in a humanely manner. We don’t slaughter an animal in front of another.
BLOOD DRAINED
We drain the blood out after slaughtering the animal. Blood is harmful for health as it is full of bacteria, infective agents, waste and harmful substances. Blood makes meat less healthy, less nutritious and it can be spoiled very fast.
