It is an abridged version of a chapter from The Reliance of the Traveller by Ahmad ibn Naqib al-Misri, as translated by Sheikh Nuh Ha Mim Keller. When doing a slaughter, the animal must be turned towards the qibla and the knife must be sharpened. The slaughterer must cut rapidly, meaning even quicker than swiftly and mention Allah 65533;s name, for instance Bismillah . Blessings must be sent to the Prophet as well.
