THE SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION OF HALAAL AND HARAAM

by Faizel Patel

As the last days of Hajj draws ever nearer, the excitement of Qurbani reverberates amongst many Muslims who partake in the sacrifice.

Allah says in the Holy Quraan:

“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” (2:172).

“He hath forbidden you only carrion, and blood, and swineflesh, 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” (2:173).

Halaal and Haraam are concepts we as Muslims are familiar with and there must be no compromise on the issue. However when it comes to explaining the difference to non-Muslims, the issue can become complicated and confusing. Besides the basics of halaal and haraam, there is a scientific explanation that is brilliant in its approach in educating enquiring minds and those that are naïve or unfamiliar on the topic.

So if one day a non-Muslim approaches you and poses the question: “Why is it that a Muslim is very particular about the words Halaal and Haraam; what do they mean?” You can answer the question as follows: read more

Mufti Muhammad Taqi Uthmaani states that the philosophy behind ‘Udhiya’ is that it is a demonstration of total submission to Allah and a proof of complete obedience to Allah’s will or command. When a Muslim offers a ‘Udhiya’ this is exactly what he intends to prove. Thus, the ‘Udhiya’ offered signifies that he is a slave of Allah at his best. And that he would not hesitate even for a moment once he receives an absolute command from his Creator to surrender before it, to obey it willingly, even if it be at the price of his life and possessions. This is exactly what the Prophet Ebrahim AS did.

Apparently, there was no reason why a father should slaughter his innocent son. But, when the command came from Allah, he never asked the reason to that command, nor did he hesitate to obey it.

This is the true philosophy of ‘Qurbani’.
