frequently in movies and TV series featuring the life of the Arab countries, we come across an unfamiliar word.However, in order to delve deeper into the story, we have a little bit to understand the intricacies of other cultures.Today we will try to highlight such an interesting topic as haram - that is, what is included in this concept, and so on. D.
origin and meaning of the word
According to Sharia (religious and ethical standards in the life of Muslims), haram - that, as stated inQuran, all forbidden.It does not sin, namely forbidden.The difference between these words will help you understand the following example: Al-Haram.This place is forbidden to nepravovernyh, but for the true Muslim is not sinful.
consonant with the word is in Hebrew, where it means "shame."In Amharic similar term means "cursed."
antonyms is all haram halal (permitted).Despite this entry from which it might seem that for many Muslims is forbidden in Islam, on the contrary everything except obviously wrong, you can do many things, and so there. But let's talk about this further.
Examples
sacred book for all Muslims categorically prohibits certain actions.That is exactly what the word haram.
- First, the honor can only Allah and do not create themselves gods besides him.
- next point.For parents should be treated with respect and nothing else.In any situation.
- Third, wives have to be submissive to their husbands, because they take care of them.Otherwise, it is not necessary to marry.
- ban treason.Under no pretext can not deceive your partner.
- Fifth, fraud, perjury, lies, slander, and other types of violations of oaths and obligations - is haraam.Islam does not accept such behavior.Next
- prohibited are the following: - loan-sharking, gambling, sacrifice, divination, the use of all that intoxicate the mind.
Regarding the fact that the word "haram" food, we'll talk later.
Murder
With regard to this concept there are a few important points in the Shari'ah.Koran allows only a few moments, when such action is justified.
first - self-defense.No matter who the attacker (Muslim or giaour), saving his own life is not prohibited.It is believed that after death, each will appear before Allah, so lied about the motives of the incident will be charged in two sins.
second - the slaughter of animals for food.This must necessarily be the name of Allah.
third - work on the execution of the executioner.
In all other cases, murder - it is haram.Islam also prohibits forcing "people of the Book" to change the faith.That is, Jews and Christians themselves must take the right religion, otherwise they will not be saved.And they made them will lie branded a sinner.
Haram food
According to the Koran and the Sunnah, is considered to be authorized only "zibh" - animals killed pronouncing the name of Allah over it.The main condition of the ritual is that the nervous system is to remain intact, and the need to cut the jugular vein and carotid artery in one motion a sharp knife.Consequently, should the maximum amount of blood to flow.
words to be said, are "Allahu Akbar" and "Bismillyahi."By the seafood is not the case.
How haram in food are determined by the following categories.
Firstly, all animals that have died any death, but to have been killed or slaughtered in the hunt in the name of Allah.
Secondly, it can not be ruminant or something that has not parts the hoof.
Thus, pork does not pass on the previous parameter completely.
If an animal is strangled, lifted his horns pierced predator or another animal, the meat of it is forbidden.
Alcoholic beverages are prohibited only and under any pretext, their use is not allowed.
This rule has only one exception.He can not follow, if a Muslim dies of hunger.Let's understand more as opposed to the concepts of "halal" and "haram" in Islam.
permitted food
According to Scripture, only a minimum of food is considered haram.What does this mean for the faithful Muslims?Most fruits and vegetables are allowed to eat.These include dates, olives, grapes, pomegranates and others.You can also eat zibh (meat of an animal slaughtered in the name of Allah), and some seafood.This is called "halal".
In principle, most of the allowed foods today are acceptable to the majority of the inhabitants of the Earth.If you look at it objectively, this is a diet food.And in today's growth of overweight people these things are above cultural and religious strife.
why many nutritionists Western countries adopt the experience and knowledge of Eastern colleagues to make their results more effectively.
Halal and Kosher.Is there a difference?
As we saw in the previous section, most of the products Islam allows.To kill an animal for food preparation of its meat can be anyone important - to say the name of Allah.It is strictly forbidden alcohol.That is, we see that the rules are quite simple and accessible to ordinary citizens.
In Judaism, this sphere of life, everything is stricter.Firstly, they have a special person - Shoikhet main responsibility is to slaughter animals according to the rules.And the Jews of restrictions in this respect more.Secondly, according to the Torah and the Talmud, there are many rules relating to different types of living beings.Separately, for the birds, wild and domestic animals, fish, and so on. D.
much easier in this regard haram.What does this mean for us?Absolutely nothing, just a small insight into the culture of the two peoples.The main difference from similar kashrut rules in Islam - the permissibility of wine.Jews look at these things more leniently than the Arabs.
Types haram
any person who became interested in oriental culture, sooner or later, come across the term "haram".The meaning and interpretation of the word we discussed above.Now it is necessary to talk about his theological understanding.
Prohibited acts in Islam are divided into two diametrically opposed categories.
first - zulm - it unlawful acts causing harm to a stranger.
second - Geir zulm - actions that cause harm to the person personally.
The first group includes the following offenses: theft, robbery, wounding and harm any living thing, killing a man, if you do not defend, without killing any other purpose.This includes fraud, possession of stolen goods, usury, gambling, spying, slander, disrespect for parents and family, betrayal, entry without permission in someone else's house or an invasion of privacy.
These and many other activities are zulm haram.
What does this output?At sufficiently severe punishment in Sharia (for example, for theft chop off the hand), most strictly adheres to these regulations.
The second category relates generally disbelief, creating heroes, pride, envy, exaltation of worldly goods over spiritual and stuff.
