Is eating falafel a crime punishable by death,

[Muslimah]

Bismillah

The Qur'an clearly states:


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." [Al-Qur’an 5:3]


Now you tell me what Falafel has to do with dead meat, blood, and flesh of swine?


Salam


Wael.

While Quran also cleary states that:


"O humankind! Eat of that which is lawful and good on the earth, and follow not the footsteps of Shaytan (Satan). Verily, he is to you an open enemy." (Quran 2; 168)


And"O you who believe (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism)! Eat of the lawful things that We have provided you with, and be grateful to Allah, if it is indeed He Whom you worship.


" (Quran 2:172)


Now those two Ayahs form the basic rules for what is lawful for us to eat. If u notice, they are general, Allah Not Say u may eat french pastry if it is not baked with liqure. But if i apply the Ayah, I can easily eat french pastry when they are not baked with liqure. I can also eat balck forest provided it does not contain alcohol. See reepi, this is the miracle of Quran. Concise but actually contains every thing.


If u know what i mean. If u still have problems u r most welcome for further explanation
