What do you want to Ask a Muslim? Submit your questions online or fill out the form below.

By Maimoona Harrington

I asked my friend if he wanted some wine, after saying no he asked to not ask him that question again. Is there anything else I should refrain from asking. I want to make sure he is comfortable at all times.

Islam as a religion is considered a way of life. There is a code of conduct to follow in all aspects of life whether it’s food, marriage, business, politics and more.

Food is a very important part of one’s life and Islam has certain dietary restrictions on how to consume it. So if you have a Muslim friend over for a party, dinner or watch a game with you, you can keep following things in mind.

  • Muslims do not drink any beverage that contains alcohol, its forbidden.
  • Muslims do not eat pork and bacon or any food that contains extract from them like Gelatin, enzymes, L-cysteine, Rennet or Lipase etc. They eat halal food.
  • Vegetarian food and fish is safe to serve.

What is Halal ?

Halal refers to any food product that is not prohibited. In fact, the vast majority of foods are halal and therefore too numerous to list. Almost all non-meat and non-alcoholic foods are halal.” (WhyIslam)

What is Halal meat?

“When it comes to meat, halal or zabiha simply mean that the animal was slaughtered according to Islamic guidelines. Islam places great emphasis on how an animal’s life ends and how it is to be treated at the time of slaughter. All life, including that of animals, is considered sacred and must be treated humanely.” (WhyIslam)
