    Halal and Haraam

    Islam has introduced concept of Halal (lawful) and Haram (unlawful) in its economic
    system. In fact the foundations of the Islamic economy have been laid on this
    concept. This concept reigns supreme in the realm of production as well as
    consumption. Certain means of earning livelihood and wealth have been declared
    unlawful such as interest, bribery, gambling and games of chance, speculation, short
    weighing and short measuring, business malpractices, etc. Unlawful means of
    earning are strictly forbidden and a follower of Islam is permitted to earn through
    lawful and fair means. Similarly in the field of consumption certain items of food are
    unlawful such as dead animals, blood, swine flesh and animals slaughtered in the
    name other than that of Allah. Even expenses on certain items such as drinks,
    narcotics, debauchery, prostitution, pornography, things that promote obscenity and
    vulgarity, lotteries and gambling are strictly inadmissible.
    Now let us glance through relevant verses of the Quran and Ahadith of Muhammad
    (PBUH), the Prophet of Islam, to highlight in brief the concept of halal and haram.

    Verses of the Quran:


    O mankind! Eat of that which is lawful and wholesome in the earth, and
    follow not the footsteps of the devil. Lo! he is an open enemy for you.
    (2:168)
    O ye who believe! Eat of the good things wherewith We have provided
    you, and render thanks to Allah if it is (indeed) He Whom ye worship. He
    hath forbidden you only carrion, and blood, and swine flesh, and that
    which hath been immolated to (the name of) any other than Allah. But
    he who is driven by necessity, neither craving nor transgressing, it is no
    sin for him. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. (2:172-173)
    And eat not up your property among yourselves in vanity, nor seek by it
    to gain the hearing of the judges that ye may knowingly devour a
    portion of the property of others wrongfully. (2:188)

    a man disheveled in hair and laden with dust, making his journey long
    and extending his hands towards heaven: O Lord! O Lord! while his food
    was unlawful, his drink unlawful, his dress unlawful and he was
    nourished with unlawful things. How he can be responded for that?
