THE EFFECT OF HALAL NUTRITION AND HUMAN HEALTH

Abstract

The excessive intake of daily required energy may lead to the accumulation of excess energy in the body, potentially causing obesity. Consuming foods high in protein is essential for a balanced diet. In this context, this article discusses the lifestyle and advice of Prophet Muhammad regarding healthy and balanced eating. The benefits of eating two meals a day for health and the importance of halal food in raising children are highlighted in the methods of nutrition according to the Sunnah. According to the Sunnah, eating two meals a day and not overindulging during these meals may be more beneficial for a healthy life. The Prophet recommended skipping lunch and only eating in the morning (at forenoon) and evening. This practice is known as "Eating according to the Sunnah." The verses of the Qur'an regarding nutrition command the consumption of halal and pure foods and avoiding wastefulness. The Prophet placed great emphasis on maintaining physical health, which is based on the fundamental principles of nutrition as outlined in the Qur'an. It is important to study the Prophet's dietary habits and how these principles were applied in his life. The Prophet's lifestyle and worldview have been presented as a "beautiful example" for the believers. Therefore, reports related to nutrition and food have been carefully examined from a holistic perspective. Devout Muslims have always sought halal food and avoided consuming doubtful foods. Halal foods are those permitted according to Islamic dietary rules. According to the rules set forth in the Qur'an and Hadith, Muslims are prohibited from consuming pork and pork products, meat from animals not slaughtered in the name of Allah, blood and blood products, alcohol, and the meat of carnivorous animals. As a leader of the community, the Prophet served as an example to his Ummah in matters of nutrition, as in all aspects of life. In this regard, this study aims to emphasize the importance that the Prophet placed on balanced and healthy eating, identify the measures that should be taken in the light of the Qur'an and Sunnah to prevent diseases that may arise from unhealthy eating, such as obesity, and explain the importance of Muhammadan nutrition in raising children.
