Accepted 16 May, 2011 Islam outlines two important standards to ensure foods consumed by Muslims are good quality, pleasant and healthy. The first is the most well-known, that is halal or lawful. The second, equally important, is tayyib or good quality. Some foods may be halal , but it may not be good (tayyib ) for consumption. Therefore, food quality standards which based on the concept of halalan tayyiban (lawful and good) should be implemented to offer reassurance to those of the Muslim faith as well as developing good quality human capital. This paper, therefore, aims to offer an instructive understanding of food quality standards in Islamic perspective and to discuss on the significance of the food quality standards which entail the holistic concept of halal and tayyib in developing good quality human capital. The concept of this paper is qualitative in nature. The authors apply a document analysis approach through deep and intense readings of the previous texts and literature related to the topic. The authors thoroughly analyse the pertinent literature and develop the relationship between quality foods and quality human being. This paper reveals that consuming good quality food bounded by Islamic dietary laws has an intense relationship in generating good health which leads to developing good quality human capital. Key words: Food, quality standards, human capital, halal food, Islamic perspective. INTRODUCTION Islam is a systematic way of life which covers all human which will lead to the development of good quality human activities and behaviors. Each and every activity comes capital. with comprehensive standards and guidelines that need Islamic dietary code of laws basically based on the con- to be adhered to by all Muslims. Islam also provides cept of halal (lawful) and haram (unlawful). Muslims must dietary code of laws as the guidelines. Muslims should eat halal food and must prevent themselves from follow the guidelines that have been underlined in the consuming any haram food. On top of that, food that is Islamic dietary code as eating is considered a matter of halal to be consumed must also good ( tayyib ) of nutria- worship of God.

The meaning of the verse indicates that the bounded by Islamic dietary laws is vital for good health concept of halal food discussed in the Quran comes toge- ther with the concept of tayyib (good). The importance of combining the concept of halal and tayyib in deter- mination of halal foods is clearly emphasized by Allah as *Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected].

    Interpreting the Qur'an and the Constitution

    INTERPRETING THE QUR’AN AND THE CONSTITUTION: SIMILARITIES IN THE USE OF TEXT, TRADITION, AND REASON IN ISLAMIC AND AMERICAN JURISPRUDENCE Asifa Quraishi* INTRODUCTION Can interpreting the Qur’an be anything like interpreting the Constitution? These documents are usually seen to represent overwhelming opposites in our global legal and cultural landscapes. How, after all, can there be any room for comparison between a legal system founded on revelation and one based on a man-made document? What this premise overlooks, however, is that the nature of the founding legal text tells only the beginning of the story. With some comparative study of the legal cultures that formed around the Qur’an and the Constitution, a few common themes start to emerge, and ultimately it turns out that there may be as much the same as is different between the jurisprudence of Islam and the United States. Though set against very different cultures and legal institutions, jurists within Islamic law have engaged in debates over legal interpretation that bear a striking resemblance to debates in the world of American constitutional theory.1 We will here set these debates next to * Assistant Professor, University of Wisconsin Law School.

  • Minimum Legal Drinking Age Saves Lives

    Minimum Legal Drinking Age Saves Lives

    Minimum Legal Drinking Age Saves Lives The Policy After Prohibition, nearly every state designated 21 as the minimum legal drinking age (MLDA). In the 1970s, 29 states lowered their drinking age to 18, 19 or 20, which led to increases in alcohol sales and consumption, as well as alcohol- related traffic injuries and fatalities, among youth.1 By 1983, 16 states raised their MLDA back to 21 to address the increased drinking and driving traffic fatalities among youth. In 1984, the federal government enacted the Uniform Drinking Age Act, which reduced federal transportation funds for those states that did not raise their MLDA to 21. By 1988, all states had set the minimum legal drinking age at 21.2 The goal of the MLDA is to curb youth drinking and reduce its related problems, especially traffic injuries and deaths.3 l Alcohol is the number one drug of choice among America’s youth.4, 5, 6 Every day in the U.S., 7,000 youth under age 16 have their first drink of alcohol.7 l More than 4,300 youth under age 21 in the U.S. die each year as a result of alcohol-related injuries, shortening their lives by an average of 60 years; 38% of those deaths involve car accidents, 32% result from homicides, and about 6% (300 deaths) are suicides.5 l The highest prevalence of alcohol dependence among U.S. drinkers is people 18-20 years old.4 l Nearly 2,500 young people 12-14 years old initiated alcohol use each day in 2010.5 l A stunning 25.9% of underage drinkers meet the clinical criteria for alcohol abuse or dependence, compared to 9.6% of adult drinkers.8 l Countries with lower MLDA have binge drinking9 rates for youth 15-16 years more than double the U.S.

Chouran, Beirut 1102 2801. Lebanon. Email: [email protected] Abstract: An analysis of the concepts of intoxication in blood and the required amount of alcohol to reach that level was analyzed from physiological and religious perspectives. Exact value of potentially allowed alcohol concentration was determined. The results indicate a BAC of 0.05% (w/v) as a set level for intoxication. The determined pure alcohol amount required to reach this level was 27 g (for a 70 kg female) at least. Accordingly, the determined allowed alcohol concentration is 0.45% (w/v) for what would be considered non- intoxicating. This was compared to published results regarding the reported alcohol content of various foods and drinks. A sensitivity analysis was conducted to allow for variation in the considered BAC and the corresponding alcohol concentration in drinks. An analysis of alcohol content in various cooked foods showed an interesting spread in the alcohol content. A review of set legal limits in some Islamic countries is recommended.

  • Foundations of the Temperance Movement and the Road to Prohibition

    Foundations of the Temperance Movement and the Road to Prohibition

    Foundations of the Temperance Movement and the Road to Prohibition The roots of America’s Temperance Movement can be traced back to the early 19th century. By the 1820s the average American consumed the equivalent of 7 gallons of pure alcohol per year. Exactly how much is 7 gallons of pure alcohol? Let’s assume that only beer is being consumed, and that this beer has an alcohol content of 5%. The average drinker would have to consume 140 gallons of beer each year to reach this amount. That’s nearly 2.7 gallons a week! These numbers continued to rise throughout the 19th century – by 1890, the amount of alcohol consumed in America had increased a further 23 times. Why did Americans consume such a high quantity of alcohol, and why did numbers keep rising? One of the reasons was insufficient access to clean drinking water. Beer is brewed at high temperatures, which pasteurizes the drink and removes contaminants. Liquors (such as rum and whisky) are distilled and very strong, which also means that microbes cannot survive. Alcoholic beverages were known to be much safer to drink because they didn’t contain microbes and bacteria. The fact that so many Americans viewed alcoholic drinks as safe alternatives to all-to-often dodgy water supplies was compounded by the high number of saloons that were established throughout the country. These saloons, which were often operated by first generation Americans and financed by large breweries, sold their drinks at very low prices. Alcoholic beverages were said to be safer than water and cheaper than tea! Many Americans also took to brewing and fermenting their own alcohol; hard cider was especially popular.

    SHARIA IN THE CITY NEGOTIATION AND CONSTRUCTION OF MORAL SPACE BY SHARIF ISLAM DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Behrooz Ghamari-Tabrizi, Chair Associate Professor Zsuzsa Gille Associate Professor Junaid Rana Associate Professor Assata Zerai ABSTRACT This dissertation is primarily concerned with how sharia is practiced by Muslims from a variety of backgrounds in Chicago’s Devon Avenue and how they co-construct physical and moral spaces. More specifically, I am interested in how sharia as a divine, non- contingent moral and legal code is understood and analyzed in various contingent situations and everyday settings such as producing, distributing, marketing and consuming halal food products. Drawing on conversations with residents, employees, and customers who visit stores in Devon Avenue, as well as archival research, my aim is to demonstrate the various multifaceted understandings and implications of sharia for Muslims in the United States. I argue that the multifaceted interpretations and practices of sharia in the United States are connected with the rhythms and everyday practices of Chicago and beyond. These connections, rhythms, and practices are reflected and interpreted in the actions and comments of Muslims and non-Muslims alike. The goal here is not just to show that the religious (for instance, sharia) and the non- religious/secular (grocery stores, restaurants, farms) are intertwined but to what extent these seemingly separate and disparate domains and spaces may be concurrently called upon within the framework of Islam, sharia, and halal food.
  • Why Forbidden Alcohol in the Islam? It Is a Well Known Fact That Muslims Don’T Drink Alcohol

    Why Forbidden Alcohol in the Islam? It Is a Well Known Fact That Muslims Don’T Drink Alcohol

    Why forbidden alcohol in the Islam? It is a well known fact that Muslims don’t drink alcohol. It is haraam, forbidden. They don’t eat foods with ethanol, they don’t wear perfumes containing alcoholic ingredients and they stay away from all forms of intoxicating substances . For most Muslims, alcohol is "haraam," or forbidden. Muslims abstain from alcohol because the Prophet Muhammad , to whom Muslims believe the word of God was revealed in the Qur'an, spoke against it. Though Muhammad said alcohol may have some medicinal value, as recorded in the Qur'an, he believed its potential for sin was "far greater" than its benefits. Muhammad also forbade Muslims from consuming other intoxicants, including hashish, believing the substances would cloud judgment and lead to unlawful behavior in the same way as alcohol. Alcohol in Islam Arabic for “wine”, is alcohol derived from grapes. This is what is (ر رر) Linguistically, khamr prohibited by specific texts of the Quran (see 5:90). Therefore alcohol is categorically unlawful (haraam) and considered impure (najis). Consuming any amount is unlawful, even if it doesn’t create any drunken effects. The Prophet Muhammad of Islam said, “Intoxicants are from these two trees,” while pointing to grapevines and date-palms. Alcohol derived from dates or raisins is also prohibited, again regardless of the amount consumed, as explained on Islamic site Seekers Guidance. At first, a general warning was given to forbid Muslims from attending prayers while in a drunken state (Quran, 4:43). Then a later verse was revealed to Prophet Muhammad which said that while specifically alcohol had some medicinal benefits, the negative effects of it outweighed the good (Quran, 2:219).

    Short Communications Caring for Muslim Patients - Some Religious Issues Iftikhar AKa and Parvez IPa aDepartment of Human Nutrition, NWFP Agriculture University Peshawar, Pakistan ABSTRACT Islam is a universal religion and a comprehensive way of life that cannot be separated from patients. Muslim patients are not just passive recipients of medical decisions, but have their own religious views and beliefs about how they would like to be cared for by the medical profession. With the increasing Muslim population in the west, problems arise when a Muslim patient is admitted to a hospital with non-Muslim health care- giver, particularly related to dietary and nutritional issues. The health team should be aware of the religious prohibitions in Islam such as wine or alcohol, flesh of swine, reptiles, birds with talons, canine animals or scavenging creatures, intoxicants etc. The guidelines presented in this paper would enable the health provider to serve their Muslim patients in the most appropriate manner. KEYWORDS: Muslim patients, Hospital diet, Forbidden foods INTRODUCTION Eating, like any other act of the Muslims, is a matter of water should be made available to them whenever of worship if done Islamically. Muslims begin and end they use a bed pan and at meal times. It is preferable eating with the name of Allah. Islam reminds Muslims that female patients are cared for by females and male of foods and drinks as a provision of Allah provided patients by males, particularly during confinement. to them for survival and for maintaining good health. The modesty of a woman must be respected and the Muslims will eat only those foods, which are allowed husband may wish to be present during childbirth.
