Answer 18694 2006-09-18 Allah created the universe with all its planets, the earth, the moon, the sun, etc. He created man for His worship. Allah Taala states in the Quraan, I created man and Jinn solely for my worship. (51:56) Every person does a thing for a purpose. A car manufacturer manufactures cars to make money, and for people to have a mode of transport. Computers are made to do work or for games, they are not made to hang socks on them or grow flowers. Everything is made for some objective. If one does not utilise an item for its correct objective, this would be foolish. A man is created to please his Creator, Allah. Eating Halaal is a fundamental aspect for ones worship being accepted by Allah, eating Haraam results in ones prayers and supplications not being accepted. Nabi [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] has mentioned, O people, Allah is pure, He only accepts that which is pure (untainted). Allah has commanded the believers with what He commanded the messengers. He states, O Messengers, partake of the pure things (good and wholesome) as do good deeds and Allah has said in the Quraan, O you who believe, eat of the good things that we have provided for you and be grateful to Allah. If it is Him you worship. (Baqarah Aayat172) Nabi [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] mentioned a man who undergoes a lengthy journey and is in a dishevelled and dusty state and raises his hands to the heavens supplicating, O my Lord ! O my Lord ! whilst his food is Haraam, his drink is Haraam, his clothing is Haraam and he is nourished with Haraam. How can his supplication be accepted due to these factors? (Muslim Hadith2343; Tirmidhi Hadith2989) There are many points to be learnt from the abovementioned Hadith: 1. Allah is pure and free from any deficiencies. He is from any faults; 2. Allah does not accept deeds that are not pure; 3. The messengers came in different ages, yet all of them were given the command to eat that which is pure, that which is Halaal; 4. The believers are also given that very same command; 5. Allah wants us to eat that which is Halaal and praise Him; 6. Indication is made towards a man who is in an unkempt state, this could be due to a number of reasons a) Hajj, b) Umrah, c) Jihaad, d) Seeking knowledge, e) Welfare work; 7. Yet, this persons supplication is not accepted; 8. This is due to his Haraam food and drink and his attire being Haraam. His prayer is not accepted; 9. Even if a person buys with money which is attained through Haraam, something Halaal, his supplication will not be accepted due to him being nourished from Haraam. It is clear from the above that eating from the proceeds of alcohol incurs the curse of Allah upon oneself. and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best Mufti Ebrahim Desai __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
