This paper attempts to discuss a set of Islamic dietary laws developed on the basis of the Qur’ānic injunctions. According to the laws, ḥalāl (lawful) food that Muslims are allowed to consume includes all vegetables, all seafoods, and all meat products that do not fall into the ten ḥarām (unlawful)

categories: (1) the flesh of dead animals, (2) flowing or liquid blood, (3) the flesh of swine, (4) the flesh of an animal dedicated to any other than Allāh, (5) the flesh of animal strangled, (6) the flesh of animal beaten to death, (7) an animal that died after falling from a high place, or falling into a gully or ravine, (8) an animal which died after being gored by horns of another animal, (9) an animal partially devoured by wild animals and died as a result, and (10) the flesh of animal sacrificed to idols. Drinking alcohol is ḥarām and considered the mother of all evils, for it “excites enmity and hatred (Qur’ān 5:91). It is also worthy of note that animals slaughtered by the People of the Book are considered halāl. In conclusion, it can be said that Muslims ponder daily upon the will of Allah and the meaning of faith by eating ḥalāl foods and avoiding ḥarām foods.
