HALAL and HARAM in food intake

As a muslim, we should concern about halal and haram especially about food. Last time, I tried to collect some info in the internet about this, and I just found only few articles providing the good info, but they are not in a full-version.

HALAL AND HARAM. We learned about this since we were in kindergarten (even just to know pigs and dogs are forbidden to eat), yet we discovered more about it during our school lives.
During Islamic education class, we learn about animals that we cannot eat are pigs and dogs, animals that we kill it without intention because of Allah (chicken, cow and ect.), animals which live in 2 different natures (eg: frogs live in water n land), wild animals which have eye-tooth (canine tooth like tiger, fox and ect.) or carnivore birds which have sharp nails (eagle). each of it has its significant reason.

Besides, sometimes people forget about the foods that they get using 'haram money' are also forbidden (money from stealing, money get from lying or money doing haram work such as GRO and ect). Every single things should be concerned before we eat, because every haram foods that we digest, become bad parts of our body. all this things can darkens our hearts (subjectively) as u wil feel 'aahhh it's easy doing bad rather than doing good'. but yet, u forget the trouble u wil get into later in life by doing wrong.

Get drunk is haram in Islam. Because once you get drunk, you will hallucinate and sometimes do bad things without any purposes. Muslims cannot drink or eat anything contain alcohols inside it.(Wine, vodka, beer....Chocolate also can be haram to eat if it contain ethyl alcohol)

Yeah, some people can say why Islam forbid muslims to drink alcohol? because u can drink without getting drunk, hallucinate etc. but, the truth is, it's hard to control when u start drinking. statistics already showed the result. in fact, the history since before Islam is appeared also showed the same. people do unreasonable things when they drunk. Also in medical too. Alcohol can cause sooo many diseases such as

Alcohol and cardiovascular disease

Alcoholic liver disease

Alcoholic hepatitis

Alcohol and cancer

Alcohol and weight

Fetal alcohol syndrome

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder

Alcoholism

Blackout (alcohol-related amnesia)

Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome

so, why getting nearer to alcohol? prevention is better than cure aite?





msg: Certain food ingredients or housewhole things might be haram too, because it may contains of pork's oil or lard or animal gelatin. For further info :-

1-Sebenarnya persoalan hukum haram dalam makan ini bukan saja terletak pada babi dan anjing. Memanglah kedua-dua haiwan ini jelas disebut dalam kitab akan haram hukumnya.. tetapi untuk binatang lain kita tidak boleh kata , selain babi dan anjing ..sebat atau balun sajalah..Ini adalah kerana Rasul kita telah mengariskan beberapa panduan untuk kita ..seperti binatang dua alam haram memakannya, binatang bertaring dan berbisa juga haram untuk dimakan ,binatang yang memakan daging juga haram untuk memakannya dan terdapat beberapa binatang yang terkandung dalam khilaf ijmak ulamak tentang hukumnya seperti..walaupun nabi berkata semua ikan dalam laut boleh dimakan tapi katakan ikan buntal.. ikan ini mempunyai bisa dan di sinilah terletaknya ijmak ulamak kerana yang berbisa tentunya akan memudaratkan tubuh badan...
2- "Rasulullah melarang makan semua binatang buas yang bertaring dan burung yang berkuku mencengkeram." (Riwayat Bukhari)
Yang dimaksud Binatang Was (siba'), yaitu binatang yang menangkap binatang lainnya dan memakan dengan bengis, seperti singa, serigala dan lain-lain. Dan apa yang dimaksud dengan burung yang berkuku (dzi mikhlabin minath-thairi), yaitu yang kukunya itu dapat melukai, seperti burung helang, rajawali, ruak-ruak bangkai dan burung yang sejenis dengan helang.
