Virtues Of Halal And Warnings Against Haraam
Dear Islamic sisters! In Islam, how important it is to earn pure and Halal livelihood can be realized by pondering over the fact that Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has given clear commandments in the Holy Quran about consuming a Halal and pure sustenance:
وَ كُلُوْا مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللّٰهُ حَلٰلًا طَیِّبًا۪-وَّ اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ الَّذِیْۤ اَنْتُمْ بِهٖ مُؤْمِنُوْنَ(۸۸)
Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: Eat from the sustenance which Allah has given to you, the lawful and the pure – and fear Allah in Whom you believe.
(Part 7, Surah Al-Ma`idah, Ayah 88)
Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has said in Ayah 168 of Surah Al-Baqarah, part 2:
یٰۤاَیُّهَا النَّاسُ كُلُوْا مِمَّا فِی الْاَرْضِ حَلٰلًا طَیِّبًا ﳲ وَّ لَا تَتَّبِعُوْا خُطُوٰتِ الشَّیْطٰنِؕ-اِنَّهٗ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِیْنٌ(۱۶۸)
Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: O mankind! Eat from what is lawful and pure in the earth; and do not follow the footsteps of the devil; undoubtedly he is your open enemy.
What is meant by Halal and pure sustenance?
It is stated in Tafseer Siraat-ul-Jinaan: Halal and pure means that thing which is Halal itself such as goat meat, vegetables and lentils etc., and which we obtain through permissible means, that is, it should not be obtained by means of theft, bribery, robbery, etc. (Siraat-ul-Jinaan, part 2, Al-Baqarah, Taht-al-Ayah: 168, vol. 1, pp. 268)
