Dear Islamic sisters! regretfully, people become extremely careless about earning and consuming Halal and Tayyib [i.e. pure] sustenance and refraining from everything that is Haraam and impermissible. Listen to four blessed sayings of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم regarding the terrible consequences of Haraam food and also make an intention to refrain our Maharims from Haraam.

1. I swear by the One under Whose Power the life of Muhammad (صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم) is! Undoubtedly, [when] a man puts a Haraam morsel into his stomach, his forty days’ deeds are not accepted; and fire is better for the person who has consumed Haraam and Riba [i.e. interest] to nourish his flesh. (Al-Mu’jam-ul-Awsat, vol. 5, pp. 34, Hadees 6495)

2. When the deceased is placed on the Takht [bier] and raised, his soul moves with convulsive motion and sits on the Takht, and [then] cries out: O my family! Do not let the world play with you as it has played with me. I accumulated Halal and non-Halal Maal [i.e. wealth and possessions] and then left that Maal for others. Its benefit is for them and its harm is for me. Therefore, learn a lesson from whatever I have faced. (At-Tazkirah lil-Qurtubi, pp. 69)

3. The person who buys a cloth with ten dirhams and [if] one dirham out of them is Haraam, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will not accept any of his Salahs until any portion of that cloth remains in his use. (Kanz-ul-‘Ummal, vol. 2, pp. 8, Hadees 9260)

4. An angel of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ every day and night proclaims on the roof of Bayt-ul-Muqaddas: Whoever consumes Haraam, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will neither accept any of his Fard nor any Nafl. (Ithaf-us-Sadah, vol. 6, pp. 452)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب              صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Let’s listen to the saying of Sayyiduna ‘Abdur Rahman Bin ‘Ali Jawzi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه about the destruction of Haraam livelihood.
