Slitting of the ears
.
4.119 …..”and surely I will order them so they will surely cut off (the) ears (of) the livestock”
.
Slitting the ears could be related to…..
.
7.179
And We have given to Hell many of the Jinn and mankind; they had hearts with which they did not understand, and they had eyes with which they did not see, and they had ears with which they did not hear. They are like livestock; no, they are even more astray. These are the unaware ones.
.
And
.
24.43-44
Have you seen the one who has taken his desire as his god? Will you be a
caretaker over him? Or do you think that most of them hear or comprehend They are just like livestock. No, they are worse off.
.
According to 7.179 even though livestock has hearts, eyes and ears they do not function,
.
BUT…. They are more aware than Men and Jinn in Hell
.
In 24.43-44 mentions they can not hear or comprehend (unmindful, headless)
.
In 5.1, 22.28 and 22.34 we are told to mention the name of Allah over the livestock
.
I think what cutting the ears of livestock implies……
Even though livestocks functionality is limited (can not understand, see or hear) they are aware,
.
The mentioning of Allahs name would be (could be) the ONLY thing they are aware of.
So cutting of the ears could mean stopping people from mentioning the name of Allah over livestock.
