What dietary taboos do Muslims have?

Muslim dietary customs? The way to keep fit is nothing more than diet. Since ancient times, no one can live without diet. However, the Muslim diet has its own characteristics. "Eating without eating is against the grace of nature; Improper eating is for personal use. " The Qur 'an makes this point very clear and thorough, and has repeatedly emphasized it in dozens of places before and after, and made strict and specific provisions, which have had a direct and profound impact on the eating habits of Hui, Dongxiang, Salar and other ethnic groups who believe in Islam in China.

The Koran advocates that Muslims choose good food and enjoy good food, but opposes greedy enjoyment, especially the richer people, who should pay attention to giving some to the poor while enjoying themselves. The Koran says:

You can eat all the legal and beautiful food on the earth ... (2: 168)

What are good food and legal food? Koran countries:

He created many gardens, including trailing and erect fruit trees, date palms and hundreds of kinds of grains different from fruits, as well as Muzi wooden piers and pomegranates with similar appearance and taste. When it bears fruit, you can eat its fruit; Give them some on the harvest day ... (6: 14 1)

He created livestock for transportation and food. You can eat what Allah gives you ... (6: 142)

You should eat and drink, but don't overdo it ... (7: 3 1)

Influenced by the Koran, Muslims of all ethnic groups who believe in Islam in China are rich in staple food and raw materials for dishes. In addition to rice, noodles and other staple foods, we mainly enjoy vegetables, fruits, fish, egg emulsifiable concentrate and condiments. In terms of meat, Muslims do not eat meat. Secondly, they eat meat selectively according to the provisions of the Koran. Such as cattle, sheep, chickens, geese, ducks, roe deer, rabbits, deer, fish and shrimp, swans and wild ducks. Muslims can make more than 2,000 authentic dishes based on the above raw materials, including thousands of beef, mutton and chicken dishes mainly fried, roasted, rinsed, roasted, braised, fried and steamed. Due to different regions, unique famous dishes with different flavors have been formed. Such as mutton bread in soup, hand-grabbed mutton, instant-boiled mutton, whole sheep summer sleeping mat, stewed snacks, etc. , has become famous at home and abroad.

The Koran forbids self-immolation and the slaughter of blood, pork and animals in the name of non-gods.

The above four things, as God's fasting statutes, are repeatedly emphasized four times in the Koran:

You are only forbidden to eat dead things, blood, pork and animals slaughtered in the name of God ... (2: 173)

Why should we fast these four things? "Because they are not clean." (6: 145) thinks that blood, pork and dead things are "filthy".

The Koran stipulates that you should not eat anything that has died of itself, including "things that have been strangled, killed, fallen to death, and eaten by wild animals" (5: 3). However, the Koran emphasizes that fasting is not absolute, and you can eat a little in special circumstances such as life-threatening. "Anyone who is forced by the situation, involuntarily or excessively [eats forbidden things] is not guilty." (2: 173)

Muslims of all ethnic groups who believe in Islam in our country not only don't eat pork, they don't kill animals, they don't eat blood and animals slaughtered in the name of non-God, and they don't even need pots, bowls, basins, chopsticks and chopping boards where pork has been cooked. Muslims are also forbidden to eat the meat of donkeys, mules and horses, as well as those animals with bad natures, such as tigers, wolves, leopards, raccoons, dogs, cats, eagles, harriers, birds, fins, hedgehogs, bears, monkeys, snakes and frogs, who like to eat filthy, grotesque and violent eyes. I am also very particular about eating marine animals, not crabs, turtles and so on.

Muslims should invite imams or Muslims who know Islamic slaughter rules to slaughter edible cattle, sheep, camels, chickens, ducks, geese and other livestock and poultry. Wash before slaughter. When you kill someone, recite the name of God. Muslims believe that everything in the world belongs to God, and that life and death of everything are controlled by God. Therefore, when the sacrifice is slaughtered, it must be said that "Allah is the greatest in the name of kind and kind Allah" to show that the sacrifice has been approved by Allah, otherwise it cannot be eaten. Muslims of all ethnic groups do not eat livestock and poultry slaughtered by non-Muslims.

The Koran forbids drinking alcohol.

Wine originated in ancient times. Arabs liked drinking long before Muhammad established Islam. After the establishment of Islam, Muhammad took measures to ban alcohol. Prohibition is mentioned three times in the Koran.

In 622 AD, after Muhammad arrived in Medina from Mecca, someone took part in drinking and gambling, and asked if Muhammad could do it. Muhammad gave the answer. The Koran says:

They ask you about drinking and gambling, and you say, "These two things contain great sins and are of great benefit to the world. Their sins outweigh their benefits." (2:2 19)

The Koran clearly points out the advantages and disadvantages of drinking, and emphasizes that drinking is a great sin. Later, some people didn't listen to the advice, continued to drink, and read the wrong prayer when drinking. The "women" chapter of the Koran stipulates that drinking and worship are not allowed.

People who believe! Don't worship when you are drunk until you know what you are talking about ... (4: 43)

The Koran emphasizes that you can't go to church after drinking. Later, drinkers became drunk, made trouble, lost their minds, hindered others and other serious consequences, and the Koran banned alcohol again:

People who believe! Drinking, gambling, idolatry and begging for a visa are just indecent behaviors, just devil's behaviors, so stay away, so that you can succeed. Satan only wants you to hate each other because of drinking and gambling, and to prevent you from remembering God and keeping prayer. Will you give up drinking and gambling? (5:90~9 1)

The Koran not only points out the harm of drinking, but also raises it to a certain height to explain it, and strictly prohibits drinking.

Influenced by Islam, Muslims of Hui, Dongxiang and Salar ethnic groups in China strictly forbid alcohol in their diet and life. For a long time, they have developed the habit of not drinking and deeply realized the harm of drinking. Drinking is not only bad for health, but also easy to make people lose their will, confuse people's gods, confuse the virtue of the wise and fools, the honesty of the greedy and the cleanliness of the immoral. In history and real life, there are countless people who delay state affairs, lose their homes, lose their lives, violate the law and discipline, do evil and lose their reputation because of drinking. Therefore, Muslims of all ethnic groups in China believe that drinking is disgraceful and "eyes", so it is strictly prohibited. Educate children from an early age not to drink. Whether it is spirits, liqueur or beer, it is forbidden.

Muslims of Hui, Dongxiang and Salar nationalities are also prohibited from smoking. There is no provision for quitting smoking in the Koran, mainly because tobacco has been popular in the world for more than 400 years. But Muhammad once said, "anything intoxicating is forbidden." So Muslims in China generally don't smoke. Muslims, in particular, are strictly forbidden to smoke opium. Smoking is also prohibited in Muslim places of worship, including mosques.

Because Muslims such as Hui people don't drink or smoke, many elderly Muslims are strong and live longer. (Hui Customs)
