Islamic Ethics and Prohibitions

QUESTION: Islamic Ethics – Some Prohibitions for Muslims

ANSWER:

Along with positive commands (ethical imperatives) Muslims are ruled by a number of ethical prohibitions. The Qur’an prohibits drinking wine (Qur’an 2:219; 4:43; 5:93–94; some Muslims apply this prohibition by analogy to all alcoholic beverages and intoxicating drugs). The Qur’an prohibits eating pork, animals who kill with claws, teeth, or fangs, birds of prey, rodents, reptiles, worms, and dead animals (2:172–173; 5:4–6). Muslims may not eat meat that has not been properly slaughtered, which includes a prayer to Allah at the time of the slaughter. The Qur’an also prohibits gambling (2:219) and sexual immorality.

What do you think?
We have all sinned and deserve God’s judgment. God, the Father, sent His only Son to satisfy that judgment for those who believe in Him. Jesus, the creator and eternal Son of God, who lived a sinless life, loves us so much that He died for our sins, taking the punishment that we deserve, was buried, and rose from the dead according to the Bible. If you truly believe and trust this in your heart, receiving Jesus alone as your Savior, declaring, "Jesus is Lord," you will be saved from judgment and spend eternity with God in heaven.
