What else can you tell me about muslims?

Answer 1

There are many questions about the eating habits of the Muslims, about eating of pork, drinking alcohol, and other habits of the Muslims. Here is a detailed answer to all these questions: Eating habits of the Muslims are mostly the same as of other human beings. They mostly share Hal (lawful) and Haram (unlawful/forbidden) with the Jews. They also believe in the authenticity of all Prophets, about 1,24,000 in number, (May peace and blessings of Almighty Allah be upon them all), anyhow, they follow the last Prophet of Islam, Hazrat Muhammad (SAW). They must avoid all that has been declared illegal (Haram) by Almighty Allah in the holy Qur'an or by Prophet (SAW) in his doings or sayings. For example:

1. Attributing any Partner or Associate whatsoever with Almighty Allah in worship.

2. Killing any innocent human (irrespective of his caste, creed, color, country, religion)

3. Even halal animals or birds attributed to any idol, holy man, any Deity.

4. Worshiping anything else than Almighty Allah.

5. Adultery, fidelity, treachery, deceit etc.

6. Usury

7. Usurping the property/belongings of others

8. Backbiting, theft, robbery/rebellion etc.

9. Disrespect of any of the Prophets (May peace be upon them all)

10. Falsehood, fraud, cheating, defaming others

11. Eating flesh of dead animals/birds. Eating flesh of animals/birds declared Haram.

All grazing cattle are Halal (lawful) but the following have been declared Haram (unlawful) in the holy Qur'an. Allah Almighty (God) says in the holy Qur'an: Quote:

"Forbidden to you are the dead meat and blood, and swine flesh, and that on which the name other than Allah's has been pronounced at the time of slaughter, and that which has died by strangling, and that which dies due to a blow, and that which dies due to a fall, and that which is killed by impact, and that which has been eaten by a beast except the one that you slaughter, and those that are slaughtered at the altars, and that you distribute by drawing lot with arrows, all these are sins. …. Allah is assuredly, Forgiving, Merciful."

Ayat: 4: "They ask you (O Prophet) what has been allowed to them. Say, pure things have been allowed to you, and that which has been caught by your trained hunting animals whom you have trained as Allah has taught you (to hunt). Therefore, eat what they catch for you and pronounce Allah's name at it (at the time of slaughter). And remain conscious of Allah, indeed, Allah is very quick in taking account."
