(2:172) _"O you who believe! Eat of the good things with which We have provided you with, and give thanks to Allah if Him it is that you worship.”_
- People need food to live and grow. Allah has given many kinds of food—plants, fruits, meat, and more—for us to use (7:10, 11:61, 67:15).
- Islam does not forbid eating tasty food or drinking healthy drinks. In fact, Allah encourages us to enjoy His good gifts (7:32) and tells the messengers to eat what is good (tayyibat) (23:51).
- The Qur’an reproaches those who forbid what is lawful: _"O you who believe! Do not forbid the good things which Allah has made lawful for you"_ (5:87).
- The main rule is: all good (tayyib) foods are allowed (5:4). Only bad, harmful, or impure things are forbidden (7:157).
