"Jesus (peace be upon him) likely slaughtered animals in a way consistent with the Torah's laws, which align closely with what Islam calls halal—invoking God's name and ensuring a humane cut, as was the custom of righteous Jews. The Bible doesn't detail his method, but as a follower of the Torah, he'd adhere to its principles (Deuteronomy 12:21), similar to the Qur'an's command: ‘Eat of that over which the name of Allah has been mentioned' (Surah Al-An'am, 6:118). This shows he was a prophet submitting to Allah's rules, not God creating them.
Tawhid underscores this: Allah is the Lawgiver, while Jesus, as a human, followed His laws. The Qur'an says, ‘I have come confirming what was before me of the Torah' (Surah Aal-E-Imran, 3:50)—he lived by divine guidance, not divine authority. The Trinity claims he's God, but why would God need to slaughter animals or follow rituals? His practice reflects a servant's obedience, linking him to Islam's monotheistic tradition of honoring Allah in all acts, including sacrifice."
The argument goes that since Jesus followed the Torah's food and slaughter laws, He must have been just a prophet under divine command. But if we actually read the Qur'an carefully, that claim quickly unravels.
In Surah 3:50, Jesus says He came to "confirm the Torah and make lawful some of what was forbidden." That's interesting — because according to Islamic theology, no prophet has the authority to change God's eternal law. Surah 6:115 even says, "None can change His words." So, which is it? Either Jesus altered divine commands — something only God can do — or the Qur'an contradicts itself.
And let's not forget that the Qur'an also calls Jesus "a Word from Allah" and "a Spirit from Him" 4:171. Those aren't exactly titles you hand out to just anyone. If Allah's Word is uncreated and eternal, then calling Jesus His Word places Him well above the status of an ordinary prophet — unless, of course, one wants to argue that God's own Word was created.
Now, in the Bible, Jesus' obedience to the Law doesn't show He was a mere servant; it shows He was the divine Lawgiver fulfilling His own law. He was "born under the Law" (Galatians 4:4) not because He had to be, but because He chose to be — to redeem those under it. That's why He could say things like "You have heard it said … but I say to you" (Matthew 5), and "The Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath" (Mark 2:28). No prophet ever claimed lordship over the very commandments of God.
So yes, Jesus would have slaughtered animals according to the Torah — but that doesn't make Him less than God. It makes Him the God who stepped into His own creation, lived by His own laws, and fulfilled them completely.
Ironically, the Qur'an's attempt to make Jesus sound like just another obedient prophet ends up giving Him divine authority and eternal attributes — which, in trying to deny His divinity, ends up proving it.
