 All right, guys, welcome back to the channel if you're new Mars Bobby guys lately I really been enjoying the channel nerd robot today. We're gonna check out the video halal versus haram in Islam So as a new Muslim as a new river to Islam, I'm pretty confident that I know what is halal and what is haram Nevertheless, let's see. Maybe I'm gonna learn something new in today's video guys before we get started Like the video if you enjoy the content subscribe to the channel if you haven't already and check out our merch in the description box With no further ado, let's have a look in Islam the terms halal and haram are used to categorize actions Halal signifies that an action is permissible Whereas haram indicates that it is prohibited. Yes, and this is all it really means I talked to people that have no idea about Islam to people that have no idea about Arabic and when they hear haram They believe you're gonna get executed right away. No, it simply means what is permissible and what is not Engaging in a haram act is considered sinful and can lead to divine punishment in the afterlife Additionally, if you live in a region that enforces Sharia law committing a haram act may also result in legal consequences Absolutely distinguish between yes, and surprisingly, this is so shocking for non-Muslim people as well Oh, you like Islam go live in Islamic country, and you're gonna get punished the point is that every country has a system in place You might have a democracy you might have communism you might have a dictatorship you might have a Theocracy so a country that chose Islam as their system will have Sharia as their law set It is that simple and therefore that society will have a given rule set Just as you do in any other type of country in certain countries wheat is legal and other countries It is illegal you can go to jail here in Thailand for example just a few years back if you would get caught with wheat You would go to prison for 30 years or so or you would get executed Yes, there was the death penalty on drug trading here in Thailand now out of a sudden it is legal So those laws change Sharia does not change, but nevertheless it doesn't even matter It is simply a system in place that Muslims choose to follow in the West You have a system in place that allows you to drink alcohol smoke cigarettes have unmarital sex And you think that that is good in the Islamic country that is prohibited. It is simple as that halal and haram in Islam Let's delve into the video Let's Premarital sex is haram. Yes Islam highly values the institution of marriage and any sexual relations outside of a lawful marriage Considered sinful. Yes, and it was considered sinful everywhere Christian countries even Buddhist countries. It was considered sinful Everywhere nowadays is just evil Islam Islam that is against freedom who I cannot have sex out of wedlock It is so hypocritical. I had those discussions with liberals man in the West You can drink alcohol with 16 years and you can have sex out of wedlock when you are 16 years Absolutely, no worries Islam on the other hand gives you a practical example that is based upon biology Once people hit puberty, they are fertile then they are ready to get married That's it Why would we even care about marriage because marriage holds a society together? It is that simple just look at single mother households Look at the black population in America and the crime rates out of single mother households Islam is about preserving the family if you break up marriages you destroy the family if you destroy the family You destroy the village if you destroy the village you destroy the city if you destroy the city you destroy the country It is so extremely simple the number one goal for a society should be to preserve family values to preserve the family Unit and this is exactly what Islam does Having four wives is halal Polygamy is permissible in Islam under certain conditions such as being able to treat all wives equally and provide for them And yet again this absolutely incomprehensible for the liberals But the liberals will advocate for you not to get married and have a polyamorous relationship Have as many sex partners as you want just check it out on YouTube You will see males and females alike and everything in between nowadays they can have a hundred two hundred thousand sex partners It does not matter, but if you want to have four wives Big it fully and provide for them Exactly provide for them actually take up responsibilities right create children create families No, this is not what the liberal ones. They just want to have sex and after that get an abortion Marrying your sibling is haram Islam prohibits marriage between blood siblings due to the close degree of kinship of course Marrying your cousin is halal Unlike some cultures and religions Islam permits marriage between first cousins Marrying a non-muslim is haram in general a Muslim woman cannot marry a non-muslim man Some interpretations allow a Muslim man to marry a Christian or Jewish woman not only some interpretations as a Muslim man Yes, you can marry a Christian or a Jewish woman people of the book the reason behind that is very very simple Of course people will scream sexism, but the idea is that the woman follows the husband The husband is the head of the household so therefore if the husband would be a Christian It is highly likely that the Muslim woman will become a Christian after a while the same applies to any type of religion And this is why Islam has the self-interest of preserving itself Obviously like any other ideology. This is why we say yes the Muslim men can marry a Christian or Jewish woman Obviously ideally that woman after a while would refer it as well However, if a husband allows his wife to violate Islamic principles It is also sinful making it practically haram unless the non-muslim spouse converts to Islam being friends with non-muslims is halal Islam encourages kindness and fair treatment towards all people regardless of their faith Eating pork is haram in Islam's pork is considered impure and its consumption is strictly forbidden I talked about this previously I didn't had to convert to Islam first to give up pork quite the opposite I stopped eating pork over 20 years ago back in the day when I was a Christian I was still a teenager I started reading the Bible and then I found out that the Old Testament actually said that we shouldn't eat Swine that it shall be filthy for us. Then I heard about the Jews not eating pork Then I heard about the Muslims not eating pork and I came to the conclusion that there are only three religions anyways on the planet I didn't know about Buddhism or Hinduism and I was wondering why would we then as Christians eat pork If it says in the Bible to not eat pork right then and there. I quit eating pork. We forbidden Yeah, it has a dog for hunting or guarding is halal While dogs are generally considered unclean in Islam. They can be kept for specific purposes like hunting or guarding Trump Makes perfect sense. By the way, the dog needs a purpose himself and you need to understand that this dog is there for purpose No, it's not a family member if you look at nowadays woman above 30 They become dog mummies get a bunch of children instead torturing animals is Haram Islam teaches respect for all living creatures and forbids causing unnecessary harm or suffering to animals Letting cats into the house or mosque is halal Cats are considered clean animals in Islam and there are hadiths mentioned in a great fits interactions with cats Watching porn is Haram Islamic teachings strongly discourage the consumption of explicit content as it is seen as morally corrupting And not only morally corrupting which it is obviously but moreover we should not commit any type of adultery any type of Fornication we should not sin with our eyes either when we are outside for example, we are commanded as men to lower our gaze We are not even allowed to stare at clothed women let alone at pornography Watching movies without pornography is halal Islam allows entertainment as long as it is clean and does not promote immorality Getting drunk is Haram Islam prohibits the consumption of alcohol and any intoxicants that impair judgment and behavior Needless to explain you Using alcohol for medical purposes is halal Islam allows the use of alcohol to treat wounds because it does not result in drunkenness It's not intoxicating if you rub it on your skin Killing innocent people is Haram Islam strictly condemns violence and the taking of innocent lives Killing enemies during war is halal in a justified war or self-defense Islam permits fighting, but it also sets strict rules to minimize harm Yeah, this yet again rational and practical because if you would have a religion that is completely Pessifistic you wouldn't even be able to survive and spread that religion or even maintain that religion and you see that with Christianity For example sure in the Bible says you should point towards the other cheek, but ultimately we had the crusades So there you see in reality in this world in truth We cannot survive if we are not equipped to go to war It's normal Gambling and lottery are Haram Gambling is seen as a form of unearned income and is considered a major sin in Islam True and all the destruction it brings with it sports tournaments are halal Islam encourages physical fitness and fair competition as long as it doesn't involve harm or unethical behavior Yes, MMA and boxing are Haram Islam prohibits hitting the head in combat sports as it could cause brain damage and lead to permanent injury And it is absolutely correct man We've seen so many tragedies with boxers world champions and then they get too many hits to the head and they are cripples They are vegetables for the rest of their life. It is true. Boxing is the sweet signs It is beautiful to see the skill, but nevertheless hitting the head over and over again can lead to brain damage Makes sense that it's Haram Olympic wrestling is halal That's why I do jiu-jitsu. Olympic wrestling which involves only pushing is allowed as it does not involve striking the head Yeah Insulting others is Haram Islam encourages good manners and respect for others and discourages harmful speech People should really listen to this Respecting people with different opinions is halal Islam promotes tolerance and respectful dialogue with people of different perspectives. Sure. I always mention this We should be respectful towards other people with different opinions However, that does not mean that we compromise the truth of Islam Gossip or slander for little girls anyways backbiting and spreading false information about others is considered a major sin in Islam good Concealing people's disgrace is halal Islam encourages covering up the faults of others to avoid the public display of sins That's good man Raping or harassing anyone is Haram Islam categorically condemns any form of sexual assault or harassment Absolutely, and this is why it is so silly when we see those headlines in the West Muslims are raping Muslim refugees are taking our women Listen guys. There's absolutely a huge problem with immigration I'm with you on that Europe has to protect its self-interest left to closely monitor who they let into their countries 100% however, it has nothing to do with religion Touching others without sexual intention is halal Non-sexual touch such as a handshake or a pat on the back is generally permissible Not between men and women man. What are you talking about? That was false 100% Stealing other people's property is Haram theft is a major sin in Islam and respect for others property rights is strongly emphasized And don't you want to live in a society where theft is not only prohibited but punished with such severity that you really do not have any theft I'm not a thief. So I like that type of society giving presence to non-muslims is halal Islam encourages kindness and generosity to all people Irrespective of their faith my wife comes from Senegal is a predominant Muslim country She comes from the Christian population and during eat the Muslims give them presents give them food, of course Music concerts are Haram Some interpretations of Islam consider music concerts to be distracting from religious duties and potentially promoting idolatry Which they do of course they call them idols Playing music at weddings or celebrations is halal Many Muslims believe here I have a question guys So please let me know in the comment section because I'm still learning many Muslims will say that music is absolutely Haram, but then on the other hand I heard as well that music at weddings or celebrations is Halal but now the question comes into place, of course How does this music get created in the first place? So if we are in a Muslim society and we have weddings etc etc those musicians have to practice music So that means aside from weddings or celebrations. They are playing the guitar or whatnot. They are practicing music So, please let me know guys. How does this look like practically in an Islamic society? What do those musicians do aside from weddings and celebrations during certain celebrations is permissible as long as the content is not Immoral or provocative make sense Idolizing or worshiping celebrities is Haram Islam teaches monotheism and discourages placing any created being on a pedestal reserved for God Admiring and following good people is halal Islam encourages learning from the good deeds and character of others as long as it does not cross into worship Yes, absolutely as I said, it's a fine line here We really have to be careful that it does not cross over into worship people are so easily misled it's unbelievable Provoking other religious groups is Haram Islam promotes peace tolerance and mutual respect among different faith groups Not many adhere to that unfortunately letting others worship in their own way is halal While Muslims believe in the truth of their own religion. They are also taught to respect the religious freedoms of others Destroying houses of other religions is Haram Islam prohibits the as I said multiple times guys I come from the Balkans and on the Balkan we had wars with the Albanians for example Which are Muslims and they destroyed our churches listen listen. I'm not playing innocent here I'm sure that our guys destroyed the mosques as well back in the day But nevertheless as a kid growing up I saw Muslims destroying our churches and therefore once I found out that this is absolutely Prohibited within Islam it opened up my eyes and I saw that this was not about religion This was just about right and wrong about good and evil option of places of worship of other religions emphasizing respect and tolerance Yes, making a peace treaty is halal peace making and conflict resolution are highly encouraged in Islam Again not many adhere to that nowadays unfortunately banning education is Haram the first word revealed in the Quran was reach emphasizing the importance of education in Islam Schools for women are halal Islam encourages the education of both men and women Okay Making statues or paintings for worship is Haram Idols or images for worship is prohibited in Islam due to the monotheistic principle Making statues or paintings for art is halal while some interpretations of Islam discourage creating Representational art others accept it as long as it's not used for worship Okay, I didn't know that I heard that we shouldn't replicate nature or human beings Worshiping the prophets is Haram Prophets in Islam are revered and respected, but they are not to be worshiped as worship is only for God Yeah, and we saw what it leads to because then people start worshiping the Buddha start worshiping Jesus, etc, etc Admiring and following the prophets is halal. Yes Muslims are encouraged to emulate the virtues and teachings of the prophets The best or lending money with interest is Haram Just imagine a world where this would be prohibited everywhere It would solve so many problems you wouldn't believe or interest is considered exploiting. It's destroying strictly forbidden Borrowing or lending money without interest is halal Islam promotes trade and financial transactions that are free from interest and exploitation I Eating when your neighbor is starving is Haram Islam emphasizes community responsibility and taking care of one's neighbors Helping your non-muslim neighbors is halal Islam teaches that kindness should be extended to all neighbors regardless of their faith Yeah, go figure Taking the law into one's own hands is Haram Islam advocates for justice and the rule of law and it discourages individuals from enacting personal justice Outside of the legal system. Yes And this is why when you see a psychopath that is labeled a Muslim by the media taking the law into his own hands Killing certain people. This has nothing to do with Islam. It's something I had to learn the hard way myself Respecting non-muslim governments is halal as long as they let you practice, of course Islam encourages Muslims to respect and abide by the laws of the land they live in as long as those laws do not compel them to Act against their religious beliefs The principles of halal and Haram in Islam serve as a comprehensive framework guiding a Muslim's conduct across the spectrum of daily life They are not merely rules but a reflection of a broader ethical system that fosters respect fairness and justice at personal societal and global levels While these principles are clearly outlined in Islamic teachings their interpretation can vary among scholars influenced by cultural practices historical contexts and Individual understanding this highlights the rich diversity within the global Islamic community and the dynamic nature of Islamic jurisprudence the ultimate goal for Muslims Irrespective of their cultural background is to lead a life pleasing to Allah This involves demonstrating compassion integrity and respect for all creation including humans animals and the environment Respect for others regardless of their faith or background is an integral part of this ethos It's crucial to remember the importance of understanding and respect for diverse religious beliefs and practices This mutual understanding For a more inclusive and tolerant world Furthermore these principles serve a societal purpose to establish harmony promote ethical behavior and discourage actions that may harm individuals or society They create a balance between rights and responsibilities freedom and restraint to ensure the overall well-being of the community in a world Conflicts and misunderstandings It's more important than ever to appreciate and respect the religious and cultural diversity that forms the fabric of our global society Learning about principles like halal and haram in Islam can be a step towards fostering this appreciation and building bridges of understanding Those are some things about halal and haram in Islam Please comment if there are errors in this video the purpose of this video is to share information That is informative and interesting to everyone Hopefully with this video all of you can get to know Islam better All right, this is it for today's video long enough as it is I believe I found two or three mistakes here Let me know in the comment section what you guys think where there's some mistakes and more over Please explain that thing with the music for me once and for all all right guys But this is it for today's video if you liked it leave it a thumbs up if you haven't subscribed already guys Please do so and support the channel via patreon or our brand new merch All right guys, but this is it as always may God bless you all much love and peace
