Yes, Muslims can eat beef, provided that it is slaughtered according to Halal practices (Dhabiha).
Per Isalm religion teachings, Muslims can eat beef.

Halal ,

Islam has laws regarding which foods can and cannot be eaten and also on the proper method of slaughtering an animal for consumption, known as dhabiĥa.

Explicitly forbidden substances

A variety of substances are considered as harmful (haraam) for humans to consume and, therefore, forbidden as per various Quranic verses:

• Pork meat (i.e. flesh of swine)[Qur'an 2:173]
• Blood[Qur'an 2:173]
• Animals slaughtered in the name of anyone but Allah (God). There are debates regarding the permissibility of meat slaughtered by Jews (i.e., kosher meat).[Qur'an 2:173]
• Carrion[Qur'an 5:3]
• "Fanged beasts of prey" as per the Sunnah, usually simplified to all carnivorous animals, with the exception of most fish and sea animals
• The meat of donkeys.
• All insects except for the locust (no reference)
• Alcohol and other intoxicants

There is some disagreement among Muslims regarding seafood, especially predatory sea creatures. IFANCA (Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America) states, regarding the opinion of Islamic scholars:

• All are in agreement that fish with scales are halal.
• Sunnis consider all fish to be halal, while some Shias consider only shrimp and fish with scales to be halal.
• Within the Hanafi school of thought, the stronger position is that shellfish (shrimp, lobster, crab, clams, etc.) are prohibited]. But in the other three schools (Malaki, Shafi, Hanbali) crab and lobster are permissible.

Dhabiha: Method of slaughter

Dhabiha is the prescribed method of ritual slaughter of all animals excluding fish and most sea-life per Islamic law. This method of slaughtering animals consists of a swift, deep incision with a sharp knife on the neck, cutting the jugular veins and carotid arteries of both sides but leaving the spinal cord intact.

Kosher and Halal

There is a great deal of similarity between the laws of Dhabiĥa halal and kashrut, and there are also various differences. Whether or not Muslims can use kashrut standards as a replacement for halal standards is an ongoing debate, and the answer depends largely on the individual being asked. While some Muslim halal authorities accept kosher meat as halal, none of the Jewish kosher authorities accept meat certified as halal as kosher due to different

The first pillar of the Islam five pillars. This is a declaration and must be made Three times, sincerely for someone to become a Muslim. This is the most important Muslim beliefand this involves :

1. Tawhid - Allah is the ONE and no-one and nothing can be compared to him. To make a comparison is to commit sin of Shirk.

2. Risalah - prophecy, believe that Allah has spoken through the prophets and lastly through Muhammad(pbuh) in the Qur'an.

Basic Beliefs of the Muslims:

1. Belief in Almighty Allah (God) Sura Baqra -2. Aya 163: And your Allah is ONE Allah, There is no god but He.

2. Belief in Angels Created by Almighty Allah Karim from light. They are obedient to Allah Karim. Carry out His commands.

3. Belief in all heavenly books, including Tora, Zaboor, the Bible, the last one being the Qur'an.

4. Belief in all the Messengers of Almighty Allah- No distinction among them. Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) being the last Prophet of Islam. NO Prophet after him.

5. Belief in the Day of Judgment. Almighty Allah Karim is the Sole Ruler/Master of that Day. He enjoys the absolute authority to send people to Heaven or Hell.

6. Good and bad Destiny being in the Hands of Almighty Allah. No One can change his destiny.

7. Life hereafter: All the dead will be raised again and judged according to their good or bad deeds. There will be no death to them.

8. Hell and Heaven (Paradise)

9. No body can take the responsibility of some other person's deeds.

10. All the power of decision making is in the Hands of Almighty Allah, and none else.

These may be further elaborated in the light of the holy Qur'an and the Sahih Hadith.

Five Pillars of Islam: (Arkan-i-Deen)

1. Shahadat: [testimony that there is no god except Allah (God) the One and Only One, having No Partner whatsoever. And Muhammad is His servant and Messenger],

2. Salah: (praying five times a day)

3. Zakah: (specific compulsory charity-2,5% of annual savings),

4. Saum: (fasting during Ramadan)

Answer:

They are called the "six articles of faith", not to be confused with the "five pillars" of practice.

A person who does not believe in all six articles of faith is not complete in his belief. In fact, negation of any one single article of faith, removes one from being a believer.

1) There is no deity but God, Alone. He has no partners, no equals.

Neither Jesus, nor anyone else who has ever walked on Earth is God. Jesus was a Servant of God. If he is called a "son" of God, then it is meant ONLY in the meaning given in the Hebrew language: 'true, good servant'.

2) God's Angels.

That God created the Angels for whatever reason and purpose He had. They have no power within themselves - they only do what they are commaded. Though God does not need anyone in order to carry out His Will, yet He willed to create them, and use them for different purposes. Some angels are recording - your life. The Angel Gabriel is the Messenger to the Prophets (and is, in factwhat the Bible is talking about when it refers to the "Holy Spirit", believe it or not. Some angels come to serve the people of Heaven; other angels are assigned the task of severely punishing those in Hell. The Angels of God do not hesitate, for a moment, to carry out His Will.

3) God's Prophets and Messengers.

The first person to communicate with God - and deliver the message to people - was Adam. Adam was the first Prophet of God. Then there were many, many prophets - sent to every nation on Earth. After Abraham, however, the only Prophets and Messengers came from his descendants.

A 'prophet' is one who is guided by God - and leads the people. A 'messenger' is a prophet who also is given a scripture. The Messengers that are mentioned in the Qur'an (though there were more) are: Abraham, Moses, David, Jesus and Muhammad. Each was given a Book.

4) God's Books.

We believe that God did truly reveal certain books; but that each of these books are not in their original forms - with some forgery and mistakes in them - except the Final Book - the Qur'an. The books of God that are mentioned are: The Scrolls of Abraham, The Torah of Moses, The Psalms of David, The Gospel (injeel, eveangel, in Arabic) of Jesus, and the Qur'an.

5) Heaven and Hell.

We believe in Heaven and Hell as physical realities. On the Day of Judgment, people will be assigned either to Heaven, or to Hell. All who enter Heaven remain there. But many people enter Hell for a period of time only. Ultimately, God will remove from Hell every person who had a small seed of true faith in the ONENESS OF GOD. This is important. Anyone who worships more than one god - or makes someone into a partner to God - will NOT leave Hell. Ever.

6) The "Qadr" determination of God, and free will.

We believe that Mankind is given free will; but that his or her free will is confined to that which God has determined for his or her life. In other words, a person has a choice whether to believe in and obey the ONE GOD, or not. Then, God tests each and evry one by what He has already written for them. So God determines who you are, where and when you are born, when you will die, how much wealth you will have, and what events occur in your life (whether good or bad). Your free will (and hence, your being held responsible on the Day of Judgment) is what you DO, with what God has written for you.

Finally; these articles of faith are simply the very samerticles of faith that EVERY Prophet taught. They are the only valid beliefs of not only the Qur'an, but the Bible as well.
