Illicit and Suspect Food

Consuming illicit and doubtful food inevitably hinders obedience and invites to transgression. The Messenger of God (may God bless him and grant him peace) is reported to have said, "He who eats halal [permissible], his members obey, whether he wishes it or not; but he who eats haram [forbidden food], his members sin, whether he wishes it or not." And, "Eat what you will, for that is how you will act." And a certain Gnostic once said, "People are severed from the truth and excluded from the circle of sainthood only because they do not scrutinize what they eat."

He whose food is illicit or suspect, even when he acts in obedience, his acts are unacceptable to God, for God the Exalted says, "God only accepts [deeds] from those who fear Him" (5:27). God is good and accepts only what is good.

O my brother, refrain from eating the illicit, for this is obligatory, and the suspect, for this is dictated by scrupulousness. And seek only the licit, for this is an obligation among the other obligations. When you obtain licit food and clothes, eat with moderation and dress with moderation. Do not be excessive, for the licit does not bear excessiveness. Beware of eating to satiety, for eating licit food to satiety is the beginning of evil. (What then of illicit food?) The Messenger (may God bless him and grant him peace) has said, "The Son of Adam never fills a vessel worse than his stomach. It should suffice the Son of Adam a few morsels to keep his back straight. If he must, then a third [of his stomach] for his food, a third for his beverage, and a third for his breath."

Lack of Spiritual grow and out of control Sexual Desires all comes from eating Haraam Food. But what is Consuming Haram Food.?? is it just food?? i will cover that at the end


>>Consuming illicit (haraam) and doubtful food inevitably hinders obedience and invites to transgression.

So from the above can see Haraam actually Blocks your abilty to even do Halal or obedience as a Muslims. And this can be again understood from the the refer below...


>>"He who eats halal [permissible], his members obey, whether he wishes it or not; but he who eats haram [forbidden food], his members sin, whether he wishes it or not."


>>And "Eat what you will, for that is how you will act."

>>"People are severed from the truth and excluded from the circle of sainthood only because they do not scrutinize what they eat."

Quotes from Illicit and Suspect Food-Imam Haddad

So eating Pig will make you act like one, they it will make give you out of control Sexual Desires, and i mean sick desires NOT an Aphrodisiac - Arousing or intensifying sexual desire, No i mean like watching Porn on TV and eye up ever women that walks up without you having any control, and you will have NO SHAME --Hayaa in do this, which will blacken the heart and make it hard to do Tawba. These are some of the effects for Eating Haraam.

Aslo your Acts of ibaadah became invalid for 40 days-


So What else is Consuming (eating ) Haraam

1. Food Haraam Pig/wine

2. Haram Earnings: fraud money-

3. Not giving Zakaat -this is money whci h NOT yours if you have in your possession Gold or Earnings over 1 Islamic Year.

4. Listening to Backbiting (Ghibah) This is a form of Food one Consumes via the ears that goes in to heart and stomach.

many Muslims will know 1 and some of( 2) but many Muslims will over look 2-4 and most of are Indulged in 4 that is Backbiting (Ghibah) everyday !


and then they ask Oh why am i not Spiritually growing in Tariqah, or i feel or empty.! well now you now ! Haraam basically will put a Full or Partial Block to you Prays, ibaadah and Spiritual Opening
