1. Al Baqarah: 168
“O ye people! Eat of what is on earth, Halal (lawful) and Thoyyib (good); and do not
follow The footsteps of the Evil One, For he is to you an avowed enemy.”

2. Al Maidah: 3
“Forbidden to you (for food) Are: dead meat, blood, The flesh of swine, and that On
which hath been invoked The name of other than Allah; That which hath been killed by
strangling, Or by a violent blow, Or by a headlong fall, Or by being gored to death;
That which hath been (partly) Eaten by a wild animal; Unless ye are able to slaughter
it (in due form); That which is sacrified On stone (altars); (Forbidden) also is the
division (of meat) by raffling with arrows: that is impiety.”
3. Al Baqarah: 219
“They ask you about wine and gambling. Say, ‘In them is great sin and benefit for
people. But their sin is greater than their benefit.’ And they ask you what they should
spend. Say, ‘The excess.’ Thus Allah makes clear to you the verses that you might give
thought”.
