Although much simpler than the dietary laws followed by the Jews and the early Christians, the code which Muslims observe forbids the consumption of any part of the pig (flesh, fat, etc...), and any kind of intoxicant - whether it be solid such as drugs, or liquid such wine and beer.
The Prophet of Islam said “Your body has rights over you”, and the consumption of wholesome food and the leading of a healthy lifestyle are seen as religious obligations.
Muslims are only permitted to eat meat that is termed ‘halal’ which means that it has been slaughtered according to the Islamic law.
