KAMADHENU Paigambar Hazrat Mohammad was a great saint. Reading through his life story one realises that he used to feed animals with his own hands. In 'Islam Darshan' the scholarly Islambhai Nagori notes that Paigambar saheb used to even scrub the Camels. These references indicate the love which he harboured for the mute animals.
The Allah has told in Kor-an Majid that “All living beings have the right to live in this world. All those who have been given birth by the God have the right to live. Those who extend love and compassion towards other beings are also being compassionate towards themselves. For God has been extremely merciful upon you. God does not agree to the destruction of agriculture through the killing of animals. Allah never approved of such an evil. Rasulullah had strictly prohibited the cutting or branding with hot iron of animals. Once he noticed a hot brand cut on the face of an ass and excalimed with grief that whoever had done it would remain without the God's blessings. When Nabi went ot Mecca – Madina in 622 A.D. people used to cut the tails and other parts of animals. The noble Rasul expressed terrible sorrow over this and forever banned the barbarous act.
The Surat Alhaj 32:22 of Kor-an-e-Hakim clearly says that, “The flesh and blood of humans does not reach God, only relinquishment and compassion do." Indeed, Islam is against the use of blood. In reality, blood and flesh can never be totally separated. From this view Islam does not support non-vegetarianism.
The representative of Islamic Medical Association Dr. A. M. Kalme opines meat eating clear transgresses the law of Kor-an.
