**(AI + IoT + LASER) 2025–2035 European Halal Slaughter Transformation Programme**
2.1 Introduction: A Historical Turning Point in Halal Slaughter
Modern slaughterhouses of the 21st century have gone far beyond the individual and controlled slaughter system prescribed by classical Islamic jurisprudence. Today’s slaughterhouses in Europe include:
- between 6,000 and 12,000 poultry per hour .
- 180–300 head of cattle per hour
- robotized rotary blades,
- fully automated cutting tunnels,
- a production model with minimal human contact
It works with.
This structure:
✔ It makes individual recitation of the Basmala (Islamic invocation) impossible,
✔ It increases the risk of “slaughtering dead animals” due to stunning,
✔ It reduces the percentage of Muslim operators to 5%,
✔ It effectively transforms the “Halal certificate” into a commercial label,
✔ It industrially eliminates the Islamic jurisprudence requirement of “slaughtering in the name of Allah.”
Therefore, the project is based on the following fundamental fact:
“In the modern slaughterhouse, the concept of halal must be built not on the individual, but on the system.”
“Basmala Knife Technology” is the solution for this era.
2.2 Qur’anic Foundation: The Section Where the Name of Allah is Mentioned
The clearest ruling on halal slaughter in the Quran is:
“Do not eat of animals over which the name of Allah has not been mentioned.”
(Al-An’am 121)
All schools of Islamic jurisprudence have linked the phrase “mentioning the name of God” to the act of slaughtering .
However, today’s technological advancements necessitate a modern interpretation of this phrase.
2.3 Problem: The Systemic Collapse of Halal Slaughter in Europe
Halal slaughter in EU countries:
- Germany → completely banned
- Netherlands → unconditional ban
- Belgium → unconditional ban
- Denmark → unconditional ban
- Sweden → unconditional ban
It is implemented as follows.
In the remaining countries:
- Immobilization is necessary.
- Veterinary hierarchy intervenes in slaughter.
- Islamic authorities are ineffective.
- Certification has been delegated to commercial companies.
- The actual proportion of halal meat within the EU is between 3–7%.
has become the case.
This figure, in the words of Islamic jurisprudence:
“It is a general scourge that prevents the production of halal meat.”
2.4 Project Objective: To Incorporate the Basmala (In the Name of Allah) into the System
The solution is not for the operator to recite the Bismillah (in the name of God), but for
the slaughtering system itself to operate with the Bismillah in mind.
Three key technologies come into play for this:
✔ 1 — AI-Controlled Basmala System
The operation of the blades attached to the machine is verified by artificial intelligence.
✔ 2 — IoT-Based Dhikr Circulation
The inscription “Bismillah – Allahu Akbar” engraved on our mustache is activated in every segment through digital verification.
✔ 3 — Laser Etching Technology
Each rotating blade is inscribed with the Basmala (Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim), an indelible inscription that will last a lifetime.
This model is based on the jurisprudential principle mentioned above:
“If the act originates not from the person who cuts, but from the system that cuts, then the ruling is based on the intention of the system.”
(Principles of Islamic Jurisprudence – Imam Serakhsi)
2.5 The Spiritual Foundation of the Project: The Sign of Süleyman Hilmi Tunahan
The following saying, originating from the Sufi tradition, shapes the project:
“If a Muslim recites ‘Bismillah’ (In the name of Allah) and writes it on a knife, then whatever animal that knife is used to slaughter will be slaughtered with the recitation of ‘Bismillah’.”
This quote:
✔ It is not contrary to Islamic jurisprudence,
✔ It is based on the profound “name-ruling relationship” of Sufism,
✔ It directly addresses the problems of the industrial age,
✔ It makes the slaughtering system work through dhikr (remembrance of God).
2.6 Conclusion: The Main Idea of the Project in a Single Sentence
“This project removes halal slaughter from the realm of individual intention and integrates it into the system by combining engineering with Quranic rulings.”
