The Islamic philosophy of Halal and Haram in nutrition is deeply rooted in ethical, spiritual, and health considerations. This study explores its contemporary relevance in light of scientific research. Islamic teachings emphasize consuming lawful (Halal) and pure (Tayyib) food while avoiding harmful, impure, and unethical sources of nourishment. Modern scientific research validates the wisdom behind these dietary laws. For instance, the prohibition of pork aligns with findings about its potential health risks, including parasitic infections and high-fat content. Similarly, the Islamic restriction on intoxicants corresponds with studies linking alcohol consumption to liver disease, cognitive decline, and social harm. The principle of Tayyib food also resonates with modern organic and ethical food movements, advocating for purity, sustainability, and responsible sourcing. This research further examines the benefits of Zabiha slaughter, which ensures the complete drainage of blood, reducing bacterial contamination. It also highlights how Islamic dietary ethics promote mindful eating, moderation, and gratitude, leading to improved physical and mental well-being. In a world facing challenges like food adulteration, genetic modifications, and unethical food production, Islamic dietary laws offer a holistic framework for safe and ethical consumption. This analytical study concludes that integrating these principles with contemporary scientific insights can contribute to healthier lifestyles, ethical food choices, and sustainable dietary practices.
