 WHY DO WE HAVE TO LIVE IN THE
CONCEPT OF HALALANTHAYYIBAN?
 Philosophy and History of
Haram Food
As we know, Adam and Eve (Siti Hawa) were driven out
by God from heaven, because eating khuldi food
(haram food).
If Adam and Eve did not eat of the fruit of Eternity
(khuldi food), of course we as descendants of Adam,
we will still remain in heaven until today.
If we take a lesson from the history of Adam and Eve
(Siti Hawa) , God does not like people who eat haram
food
Allah will be angry if we eat haram food and will punish
us in various forms
 Q.S. Thaahaa (20) : 81
Eat from the good things with which We have provided you and
do not transgress [or oppress others] therein, lest My anger
should descend upon you. And he upon whom My anger
descends has certainly fallen

Makanlah di antara rizki yang baik-baik yang telah Kami

berikan kepada kamu dan jangan melewati batas yang
menyebabkan kemarahan-Ku menimpa kamu. Dan barang
siapa ditimpa kemarahan-Ku maka pasti akan jatuh (binasa).
Halalanthoyyiban is a concept that integrated for halal food & Drug
safety in Islam.
It is said in Al-Quran, letter of Al-Baqarah, verse 168. (2:168

O mankind, eat of that which is Halalanthoyyiban on the earth,

and dont follow the footsteps of the devil. Indeed, he is an open
enemy to you.

Halalanthoyyiban composed of 2 pieces of words that come from

Arabic, namely; Halal and Thoyyib.

Halal has meaning "lawful" or "permissible" and

Thoyyib has meaning Wholesome (safety, cleanliness, nutritious,

quality, authentic).

Halal (lawful) Haram (unlawful)
Pork and its byproducts
ALL FOOD are considered
halal in Islam Animals improperly
slaughtered
EXCEPT the list
under haram Animals killed in the name of
anyone other than Allah.

Alcohol and intoxicants

and its byproducts

Carnivorous animals and

birds of prey

Blood and blood byproducts

Besides that:
There is another enemy of Halalanthayyiban group, in the Al Quran called
the group MUTAFFIFIN

Mutaffifin =adulteration and fraudulent in business

Wailul lil Muataffifin = Then woe to the Mutaffifin
(Maka celaka besar akan menimpa kaum mutaffifin)

Mutaffifin has character = HHH HALAL, HARAM, HIT

(HALAL, HARAM, HANTAM)

HALALANTHAYYIBAN = THE BEST MANKIND

(Kuntum ummatin uhrijat linnas)

HALALANTHAYYIBAN has character HHHH (Halal Harus Haram Hapus)

halal = Had to , Haram = Hit (Delete)
 This is the work of Mutaffifin groups to get
profit in a trade with HARAM methods

Forged beef with pork and rat or other forbidden animals

Chickens died yesterday (Ayam mati kemaren/Tiren),
probably died because bird flu is sold in the market
traditional
Non-halal (pork) moon cakes with halal logo
Pigs , chicken, beef and other halal produts stored together
Issue on bread using lard
Brushes using pigs bristle in cake and bread preparation
Minced pork with halal label
Sausages with non-halal casing, expired halal certificate and
old halal logo

 Some examples of fraudulent in HARAM FOODS

chickens die of animal carcass wild animals

bird flu

Adulteration Forbidden animals poisoned rats

& Fraud 10
Meatballs (BAKSO) are very favored foods by school
children and communities in Indonesia.
Beef meatballs very often forged (Replaced) with pork
meatballs.
For make rubbery meatballs also added borax
besides that tomato sauce on the meatballs are also
frequently use textile coloring and Formalin.

 Why Allah Regulate Food Intake
There are 3 types of chemical compounds that
enter our body, namely:

1. Useful for the body Halalanthaiyyiban

2. Not useful for the body Xenobiotic (Haram)
3. Harmful for the body Toxins (Haram)
 Haram foods contains a lot of
xenobiotic compounds
Xenobiotic compounds is a compounds that enter the
body, but it is not useful for the body and can harm the
body

Sources of xenobiotic compounds:

biological compounds (pig, wild beasts & haram
animals eaten also GMO)
pollutant
inorganic and organic compounds (alcohol & hazardous
compounds)
Incorrect use of drugs
 Biotransformation of Xenobiotic
Results of biotransformation
1. More potent
active 2. Less potent
1. Active Xenobiotic 3. Toxic
biotransformed
2. Inactive and Poison Xenobiotic and
Poison
inactive
HARAM FOODS (Xenobiotic) :
Slow but sure,
Alcohol, Pork, Blood, Carnivorus
will changes to :
animal & birds of prey, Animals
1. Physical body
improperly slaughtered, animals
2. Change in character
killed in the name of anyone
other than Allah
Pig genetic is similar with human genetic.

Pig organs most widely taken for organ implants

in humans is known as the Xenotransplantation.

Xenotransplantation
refers to the practice of
transplanting,
implanting, or infusing
living cells, tissues, or
organs from one species
to another.
PIGS AND ITS DERIVATIVES ARE VERY WIDELY USED IN FOOD, DRUGS AND COSMETICS

17
 Because Pig genetic is similar with
human genetic

Eating pork = cannibalism

According to medical science:

About 66% of the protein in our body will work as enzymes
The function of enzymes in the body is to regulate all
activities and our character
Action of the enzyme in the body is as biocatalyzer
(biokatalisator)
We talk, angry, sad, in love and etc. caused enzymes work
If we eat dog meat = Our character becomes easy to angry
Because enzymes of dogs = enzymes for easy to angry

 Because pig genetic is similar to
human genetic, hence, the chemical
and diseases in pig is very easy to
move to human
In order to obtain more pork and
protein, then, generally at this time,
pigs that bred by farmers are pigs
that obesity
 Therefore, genetic pig very similar with humans
genetic, so, chemical compound & diseases that exist
in pigs are very easily transmitted to humans
Chemical compounds and obesity genes in pigs are
triggers obesity in people who eat pork

Obesity is a trigger for cardiovascular disease and

arteriosclerosis

Retrovirus which generally living in pig cells is a

trigger of cancer
 There are a lot of bacteria, viruses and worms that
live on pork and easily transmitted to humans

PARASITIC DISEASES BACTERIAL DISEASES

a) Trichinella spiratis ( Trichina worms ) Tuberculosis

b) Taenia solium ( Pork tape worm ) . Fusiformis necrofurus .
c) Ascaris (Round worms) Salmonella Cholera suis
d) Ancylostomiasis (Hook Worms) Paratyphoid
e) Schitosoma japonicum Bruceellosis
f) Paragomines westermaini Swine Erysipelas
g) Paciolepsis buski
h) Clonorchis sinensis
i) Metastrongylus apri Viral Diseases
j) Giganthorinchus gigas Retrovirus trigger cancer
k) Balatitidium coli Small pox
Japanese B-encepphalitis
Influenza
Protozoal Diseases:
Toxo plasma goundii.
At this time in developed countries
The first cause of mortality is cardiovascular
disease and cancer

The main triggers of these diseases are due to

consumption of pork, besides eating foods
that are not halal such as alcohol, food
additives, Xenobiotic, ect.
 Alcohol/Ethanol (ethyl alcohol)
In chemistry Alcohol is an organic solvent
In our body, alcohol works dissolving or damaging
organic compound the body, especially the enzymes.
In Biochemistry, The majority of the types of
proteins that are present in our body are enzymes
The main function of an enzyme in the body is to
carry out of chemical reactions or bio-catalyst
Organic compounds in the body of alcohol drinkers
will change from normal conditions.
Therefore, alcohol drinkers are people that
damaged physically and mentally
 Acute Effects of Alcohol

CNS Depressant
Depression of inhibitory control
Vasodilation, warm, flushed, reddish skin
Emotional outbursts
Decreased memory & concentration
Poor judgment
Decreased reflexes
Decreased sexual response
Tapert et al., 2001

Non-drinkers Alcoholics

Scanning results with a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) by using F-18

Glucose to test the memory in alcohol drinkers and non-drinkers

Qoran surah Al Maidah Verse 91. The Alcohol drinker is forget for remember
Allah and do shalat, because their memory cell has damaged
 Long Term Adverse Effects

Obvious
Alcoholism, death, cancer (oral cavity,
esophagus, liver), fetal effects (FAS)
Alcoholism
Cirrhosis of liver, appetite loss, poor judgment
Subtle
Lost productivity, impaired performance,
motor impairment, cost to society
 Alcohol & Cancer

Ethanol consumption increases risk of

cancer

Oral Cavity
Pharynx and Larynx
Esophagus
Liver
Mouse Scanning Electron Microscope

The World Health Organization estimates that there are

140 million people with alcoholism worldwide.

FAS Child
Alcohol misuse has the potential to damage almost every organ
in the body, including the brain. The cumulative toxic effects of
chronic alcohol abuse can cause both medical and psychiatric
problems (Wikipedia)
 Why ALLAH Forbids Eating Blood
Partly a function of blood
Blood is the breeding places of various diseases and
microorganisms
Blood is responsible for transport of:
Transporting gases (oxygen & carbon dioxide)
Transporting nutrients
Transporting waste products
Transporting drugs
Helping remove toxins from the body

Blood is the medium for the transmission of various

diseases, viruses, bacteria, disposal toxins, etc.
 CONCLUSION
HALALANTHAYYIBAN FOODS is the best food
of any model of the form of preparation,
process and outcomes for human health

That the promise of God will reveal the truth

of the verses in all horizons (Al Quran surah
Fushilat verse 53), it can be proved in God's
command to eat that halal and good food.
