Join us to bring tayyib (pure) back to the halal industry!
A Tayyib Lifestyle Balances Us and Reinstates Hope
O you who have believed, eat from the good things which We have provided for you and be grateful to Allah, glorified and exalted,if it is [indeed] Him that you worship. (Quran 2: 172)
The Overlooked Key to Heaven and Success – Tayyib
Over and over in the Quran, Allah references tayyib, so let’s dive into this overlooked key to heaven, success and consequently our health – a key piece in putting our bodies, our planet and our health back into balance.
What is Tayyib?
Tayyib is a very comprehensive word that has an important place in the Quran and Sunnah. In Surah Baqarah, Allah, glorified and exalted, has clearly defined “tayyib”. Allah, glorified and exalted, commands us to eat of which that is tayyib from what He has provided for us. So this is in black and white, with no ifs, ands or buts about it: eat of what Allah, glorified and exalted, has provided. So, the word “tayyib” itself means to be pure, good, clean, wholesome, gentle, excellent, fair and lawful, so it’s good, on top of more good and, no doubt about it, this is good for you. While its opposite khabith means impure, genetically modified, artificial in terms of colours and preservatives, toxic, etc. This concept is often paired together with “halal”, as in “halal and tayyib”, as well as used alone.
Allah, glorified and exalted, describes tayyib as a strong tree, and its opposite, a khabith (impure), as a weak tree, one that lacks resilience, that at any moment can be uprooted from the surface of the earth.
Have you not considered how presents an example, [making] a good/pure word like a good/pure tree, whose root is firmly fixed and its branches [high] in the sky? It produces its fruit all the time, by permission of its Lord. And Allah presents examples for the people that perhaps they will be reminded. And the example of a bad word is like a bad tree, uprooted from the surface of the earth, not having any stability.
(Quran 14: 24–26)
Living a tayyib life puts your body back into balance and increases resilience to whatever life may throw at you. Allah, glorified and exalted, will help you stay firm, emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually, insha’Allah.
Allah keeps firm those who believe, with the firm word, in worldly life and in the Hereafter. And Allah sends astray the wrongdoers. And Allah does what He wills. (Quran 14: 27)
Diving into Tayyib – Surat al-Baqarah Verses 166–172
When trying to understand tayyib, this passage of the Quran sheds light on its importance of tayyib, what society will say, and what to do to succeed, if we truly believe in Allah:
[And they should consider that] when those who have been followed disassociate themselves from those who followed [them], and they [all] see the punishment, and cut off from them are the ties [of relationship]. Those who followed will say, “If only we had another turn [at worldly life] so we could disassociate ourselves from them as they have disassociated themselves from us.” Thus will Allah show them their deeds as regrets upon them. And they are never to emerge from the Fire. O mankind, eat from whatever is on earth [that is] lawful and good and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy. He only orders you to evil and immorality and to say about Allah what you do not know. And when it is said to them, “Follow what Allah has revealed,” they say, “Rather, we will follow that which we found our fathers doing.” Even though their fathers understood nothing, nor were they guided? The example of those who disbelieve is like that of one who shouts at what hears nothing but calls and cries cattle or sheep – deaf, dumb and blind, so they do not understand. O you who have believed, eat from the good things which We have provided for you and be grateful to Allah if it is [indeed] Him that you worship. (Quran 2: 166–172)
Let’s examine this passage. In verses 166–168, Allah, glorified and exalted, paints a picture of people standing next to Hellfire, with multiple regrets (hasarat) of following a social norm blindly. They wished they had dissociated themselves from these people. After painting this picture, this passage then takes the reader to the solution on how we can prevent that outcome. Allah, glorified and exalted, says, O mankind, eat from whatever is on earth [that is] lawful and good and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy (Quran 2: 168). Then in verse 170, Allah, glorified and exalted, says, they will ignore revelation and stick to what their forefathers have done, showing the herd mentality of cattle. They are deaf, dumb and blind, and will never understand.
Isn’t that what is happening now? We are stuck in our ways too, despite all of the evidence coming out, that we know better and know more than our forefathers, but this self-satisfaction keeps us stuck, and doesn’t allow us to unlearn what we think we know and relearn what we need to know. We are stuck with a herd mentality, not thinking, chewing all day long, going along in the direction that everyone else is going in. If a commercial tells us it is good, we move our mouths without using our brains and continue to eat like herded cattle. Then Allah, glorified and exalted, says, in verse 172 that Eat from the good things (tayyib) which We have provided for you and be grateful to Allah if it is [indeed] Him that you worship. Seriously! Look how heavy that is. I don’t know if it can get any heavier:
And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me. (Quran 51: 57)
Our purpose as Muslims is to worship Allah. And here in this verse, Allah, glorified and exalted, has equated eating pure foods with truly believing in Allah. So if we don’t eat pure foods, what does that say about us as Muslims? Who are we truly following? The answer lies in verse 168:
O mankind! Eat the lawful and good things out of what is in the earth, and do not follow the footsteps of the shaytan; surely he is your open enemy. (Quran 2: 168)
We are following Satan (Shaytan) as not eating pure food opens doors that may lead us down the wrong path, a path away from Allah. If we go down that path, the path of impurity, we are opening doors in our heart for Satan to enter. We are no longer slaves of Allah, but slaves of the sugar companies, the fast food companies, the pesticide companies (Monsanto), the pharmaceutical companies, and even the materialistic goods companies. It’s time to get back to the Quran, back to a tayyib life, back to Allah.
The Two Keys to Optimal Success and Characteristic of a Believer – Halal and Tayyib
Living pure (tayyib) lives is one of the hidden overlooked keys to ultimate success (falah) in both lives in this world and in the hereafter. But what is important to realise is that it’s all over the Quran, and He has equated it to being believers who truly worship Allah. Ya Allah, please help us all.
O mankind! Eat the lawful and good things out of what is in the earth, and do not follow the footsteps of the shaytan; surely he is your open enemy. (Quran 2: 168)
“O you who have believed, eat from the good things which We have provided for you and be grateful to Allah if it is [indeed] Him that you worship. (Quran 2: 172)
And eat of what Allah has provided for you [which is] lawful and good. And fear Allah, in whom you are believers. (Quran 5: 88)
Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered prophet, whom they find written in what they have of the Torah and the Gospel, who enjoins upon them what is right and forbids them what is wrong and makes lawful for them the good things and prohibits for them the impure things and relieves them of their burden and the shackles which were upon them. So they who have believed in him, honored him, supported him and followed the light which was sent down with him – it is those who will be the successful. (Quran 7: 157)
Then eat of what Allah has provided for you [which is] lawful and good. And be grateful for the favour of Allah, if it is [indeed] Him that you worship. (Quran 16: 114)
Allah’s Equation for Success
Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered prophet, whom they find written in what they have of the Torah and the Gospel, who enjoins upon them what is right and forbids them what is wrong and makes lawful for them the pure things and prohibits for them the impure and relieves them of their burden and the shackles which were upon them. So they who have believed in him, honored him, supported him and followed the light which was sent down with him – it is those who will be the successful. (Quran 7: 157)
In Quran 7: 157, Allah, glorified and exalted, provides humankind with a formula to success:
Following the Messenger ﷺ + who live tayyib (purely) + prohibit the impure = Success
So this is significant! Allah, glorified and exalted, has made following the unlettered Prophet ﷺ equal to living tayyib and staying away from impurities. This means that if we don’t follow one or the other we will not be successful. So if we follow the Prophet ﷺ but we eat artificial or GMO-ridden food, we will not be successful, and vice versa. This describes exactly what is happening to the Muslim ummah currently. This is serious, as Allah, glorified and exalted, has prohibited impure food, as He knows that it can cause harm. May Allah, glorified and exalted, help us all.
The Relationship between Tayyib and Allah’s Anger and then Hope
Eat of the good things we have provided for your sustenance, but commit no excess therein, lest my wrath should justly descend on you, and those on whom descends my wrath do perish indeed. (Quran 20: 81)
In Surah Taha, after instructing the children of Israel, Allah, glorified and exalted, then turns to educating the general population regarding the consequences of breaking His laws. Allah, glorified and exalted, instructs us all to eat tayyib foods from what Allah, glorified and exalted, has provided and not to cross any boundaries, i.e. kindness to animals, fair-trade, how we treat the planet, don’t be ungrateful or disrespectful, otherwise, Allah’s anger will come down, seize and overwhelm us. And whoever Allah’s anger comes down upon, that person falls hard and fast.
But then Allah, glorified and exalted, gives us hope:
But indeed, I am the Perpetual Forgiver of whoever repents and believes and does righteousness and then continues in guidance. (Quran 20: 82)
In Surat al-Fatihah, several times a day we ask for Allah to save us from His wrath: The Way of those on whom you have bestowed your Grace, not the way of those who earned Your Wrath, nor of those who went astray. (Quran 1: 7)
In Surah Taha, Allah, glorified and exalted, has given us hope, to completely cover up our sins. The One Who immediately forgives, consistently forgives, abundantly forgives, limitlessly forgives. Only forgiving the one who repents (makes a “U-turn”, back to what you were supposed to do without hesitation) and who continues with good deeds and follows the guidance. Allah, glorified and exalted, has shown us the path, now it is our choice to walk down it or not, right after he talks about eating tayyib. Subhanallah!
Artificial foods, fake foods, harmful foods, and GMO foods are by definition not tayyib as these foods inflict harm on the body, as has been documented in medical research for years. First and foremost, Allah, glorified and exalted, has directly related success in this life and the next to eating and living tayyib. Allah, glorified and exalted, has described us the seriousness of breaking His law, but if you repent, He is All- Forgiving. Alhamdulillah!
Allah, Glorified and Exalted, is Pure and Accepts Only What is Pure – Tayyib as a Prerequisite
This Day [all] Tayyib/Pure food Has been made lawful… And whoever denies the faith, his work has become worthless, And he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers. (Quran 5: 5)
Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “O people, Allah is pure and He accepts only what is pure. Verily, Allah has commanded the believers as He commanded His messengers. Allah said, O messengers, eat from good things and act righteously, for I know what you do (23: 51). And Allah said, O you who believe, eat from good things We have provided for you. (2: 172)” (Muslim)
Working for Allah, glorified and exalted, goes hand-in-hand with the lifestyle we live. In these two areas, Allah, glorified and exalted, and His Prophet ﷺ have dictated that we eat pure food otherwise the work that we do will not be accepted and we will be among the losers.
In the hadith, Prophet ﷺ said, that Allah, glorified and exalted, is pure, and He will accept only what is pure. The next sentence he quotes the Quran about the qualities of one that is pure – that he eats pure food. Through his messengers, Allah, glorified and exalted, has told us what he wants us to do, to eat pure food, to act righteously, and quoting 2: 172, stating that we should only eat which is pure. In this verse and in this hadith, a large emphasis is put on eating and living in a pure way and working righteously. One needs to be pure for our righteous acts to be accepted. This is a prerequisite for our good deeds to be cashed in. May Allah, glorified and exalted, help us all.
Allah, Glorified and Exalted, Knows Impurity Surrounds and Tempts Us
Say: Evil and good are not equal, even though the abundance of evil may be pleasing to you. Have fear of God, you who are endowed with understanding, so that you may triumph. (Quran 5: 100)
Allah, glorified and exalted, knows that we are bombarded all around us with impurities. But he constantly tells us to use our brains and understanding, to know there are not the same. And those that use this understand, will be successful. Insha’Allah.
Let’s try our hardest to live tayyib (purely). Allah, glorified and exalted, doesn’t test us more than we can tolerate. Take one step towards Allah, Allah, glorified and exalted, will run towards you. Insha’Allah.
Conclusions from the Quran and Sunnah
From all the verses in the Quran and evidence from the Sunnah, one may conclude that eating pure foods that Allah has created, and living a pure lifestyle, is directly linked to our faith and true success in this life and the next and eating anything impure (artificial, GMO, toxic) is not only prohibited but also opens the doors for Shaytan and wrongdoing. So living a pure lifestyle is key to balance, health and true success in this life and the next.
When one combines this with science, one sees that that impure life is leading to sickness, disease and destroying our health, our future and our planet. It is a simple equation:
Simple Math | |
Impure Lifestyle and Effects on Our Life Impure Food + Impure Environment + Impure Stress/Thoughts + Impure Social Environment = Bad Decisions Chronic Illnesses Destroying the World Footsteps of Shaitan | Pure Lifestyle and Effects on Our Life Pure Food + Pure Environment + Pure Stress/Thoughts + Pure Social Environment = Making Good Decisions Healing/Preventing Chronic Illness Healing the World Linking it to True Faith and Success |
Prohibited Food from the Quran and Sunnah -The Khabith is PROHIBITED in Islam – That Destroy Your Health
The Khabith is PROHIBITED in Islam – That Destroy Your Health
From the earlier discussion, Allah, glorified and exalted, has clearing stated that the tayyib is halal for us. So if it’s not tayyib, what is it? It is khabith.
Khabith means the impure, artificial, processed/fake food, GMO foods, food that is not what Allah has provided or has been manipulated with. Khabith food is anything that does harm, and now science has proven how these foods can hurt you more than help you. Anything artificial or kabith causes inflammation. So if it didn’t exist at the time of our ancestors, don’t eat it!
Artificial/Processed/Fake Food
Stay away from khabith processed/junk/fast foods. This is all the white stuff, like white flour, bread, cakes, cookies, and other baked goods. They contain lots of ingredients, have a very high glycemic index, full of partially hydrogenated oil (canola, soybean, corn, and other vegetable oils), food additives, artificial preservatives and artificial colors, flavors etc, all that damage the gut flora, leading to leaky gut, intestinal inflammation and chronic illnesses.
So if you can’t pronounce it or don’t know what it is, don’t put it in your mouth, this chart will help you understand why:
Kabith Ingredients to
Artificial colorings | Associated with everything from cancer to hyperactivity in children. Blue #1-worst artificial color, linked to hyperactivity and risk of kidney tumors, some research suggests it is a potential neurotoxin Red #3- animal carcinogen, panned from cosmetics, but still allowed in our food Red #40-hyperactivity in children, accelerated the appearance of tumors Yellow #5 and Yellow #6- hyperactivity in children and found to be contaminated by carcinogens like bensidine Carmel color- brown food coloring linked to cancer |
Additives | Cause uncontrollable hunger and binge eating |
Aluminum additives | Linked to neurotoxicity |
Azodicarbonamide | A dough conditioner. The WHO has linked to respiratory issues, asthma and allergies. When baked can lead to cancer and tumors, because it leads to semicarbazide (a carcinogen) and urethane (suspected carcinogen) |
Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) | Used as a preservative. Affects the signaling from our gut to our brain that tells us to stop eating caused cancer in animal tests. Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) listed by California as a carcinogen. |
Calcium propionate | Produces a neurotoxin, affects your microbiome that causes autism and ADHD (found in all commercial bread) and sleep disturbances in children |
Calcium and sodium caseinate | Toxic dairy extract |
Canola oil | Damages hearts in lab animals |
Carrageenan | causes leaky gut, inflammation and possible human carcinogen |
Citric acid | Preservative and flavor, the additive used in packaged foods is typically derived from mold made with GMO corn not from fruit |
Dextrose | Heavily processed form of sugar, usually made from corn, no nutritional value, typically made from GMO corn that produces its own insecticide |
Microwave popcorn | Contains PFOA, a synthetic chemical linked to cancer and hormone disruption |
Monosodium glutamate (MSG) | A neurotoxin to kill brain cells, causes headaches, allergies and damages your gut. Increases food cravings and irresistibility. |
Natural flavors | Flavors derived from a proprietary mixtures of chemicals derived from anything in nature. Many flavors may have up to 100 ingredients, including synthetic chemicals, propylene glycol as a solvent, and the preservative BHA, as well as GMO derived ingredients, and MSG |
Nitrates and nitrites | Found in processed meats, “probable” carcinogenic according to the WHO |
Phosphates | Increased link to CVD and osteoporosis Sodium phosphate- preservative, accumulates leads to increase risks of heart disease, accelerated aging and kidney disease and mortality. |
Polysorbate-80 or lecithin | Commonly found in vitamins, chewing gum, and ice cream are all linked to autoimmunity. |
Potassium bromate | Linked to various cancers (not allowed in the UK, Canada or the EU) |
Propyl gallate | Used in food with animal fats, believed to be an endocrine disruptor, may be carcinogenic. |
Propylparaben (E216) or Methylparaben | Synthetic preservative that is linked to breast cancer and reproductive problems |
Propyl gallate- | Increased risk of tumors and endocrine disruption on the EWG’s additives to avoid |
Sodium benzoate (E211) or potassium benzoate (E212) | Synthetic preservatives when combined with vitamin C, produce benzene a known carcinogen |
Soy protein isolate | GMO, hormone disruptions, inhibits absorption of calcium and other vital minerals in the diet. |
Sulfides | cause allergies and inflammation |
Tert-Butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) | Synthetic preservative linked to behaviour problems, stomach cancer, liver enlargement, vision issues, negatively effects T cells promoting allergies. |
Theobromate | In animal testing it had possible effect on reproduction and development |
Titanium dioxide | Food color used to brighten foods, leads to inflammation |
So many more! | So much more badness that we haven’t done all the research on. |
Get the picture? Isn’t this crazy! Why are we putting this in our mouths in our bodies, and then we wonder why we are getting sick! So we need to avoid anything that says artificial, flavors, spices or even natural (it may be extracted from chemicals that aren’t listed).
Kabith Oils
Most processed foods contain vegetable oils. These oils also contain pro-inflammatory omega-6 fats and lead to gut dysfunction/leaky gut, interfering with normal cell metabolism, and are hazardous to health, increasing our chances of heart disease. Avoid vegetable oils, especially those that are partially hydrogenated oil like corn, soybean, canola, safflower, and sunflower. Avoid trans fats, found in shortening, margarine, spreads, anything that is hydrogenated and are commonly found in refined baked goods. As they lead to inflammation and immune dysfunction. They also increase bad cholesterol, lower good cholesterol, raising the risk of heart attack lead to inflammation and immune dysfunction. They promote obesity, insulin resistance, prediabetes and diabetes Type-2, cancer, and dementia.
Kabith Sweeteners
Artificial sweeteners are synthetic chemicals, causing hunger (leading to leptin resistance, which prevents you from knowing when you’re full), gas and bloating. They act as an excitotoxin, which damages neurons in the brain, leading neurological effects like headaches and migraines, and can contribute to CVD, and Type-2 DM, causes allergic reactions and various physical ailments leading to gut irritation, altering the gut microbiome, insulin resistance, inflammation and even cancer. Studies have found that people who use artificial sweeteners actually gain weight and increase waist circumference instead of losing it, increasing the chance of developing Type-2 diabetes (by 67%), metabolic syndrome and worsening the obesity epidemic.
Sugar
It is found in 74% of packaged foods. Sugar stimulates the brain reward centres and the same parts of the brain that are stimulated by addictive drugs like heroin or cocaine and when you stop eating sugar, especially suddenly, you experience withdrawal symptoms, just like when you withdraw from dopamine and other addictive drugs. Sugar disrupts your blood sugar balance, with insulin spikes that can be dangerous and can lead to fatigue and brain fog, anxiety, and mood swings; speeds up cell aging, reduces HDL (“good” cholesterol), raises LDL (“bad” cholesterol) and high triglyceride levels, blood pressure and heart disease, causes weight gain and accumulation of belly fat, cancer, diabetes; dementia, increases your appetite and sugar cravings; and also damages the liver, like alcohol leading to fatty liver. A major study from the Harvard School of Public Health published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that those who took 25% or more of daily calories as sugar were twice more likely to die from heart disease than those who consumed less than 10%. The oxidative stress and imbalance in the microbiome leads to inflammation, as it interferes with the ability of your white blood cells to destroy toxins and fight infection, making you sick – all this within minutes after eating sugar, and it can last for several hours!
Genetically Modified (GMOs)
“And I will mislead them, and I will arouse in them [sinful] desires, and I will command them so they will slit the ears of cattle, and I will command them so they will change the creation of Allah.” And whoever takes Satan as an ally instead of Allah has certainly sustained a clear loss.” (Quran 4:119)
“As for the pure land, vegetation comes out by its Lord’s will, but poor land produces in agony. We explain Our messages in various ways to those people who are grateful.” (Quran 7:58)
When human hands change with Allah’s creations, it is no longer what Allah, glorified and exalted, has provided, it is no longer tayyib. Shaitan has even promised that is what he will command humans to do. This ayah takes a new light in today’s world, a world filled with genetically engineering plants. GMO’s (genetically modified organisms) created through biotechnology, also called genetic engineering. The DNA is artificially altered in the lab of genes from plants, animals, viruses or bacteria to produce foreign compounds that cannot occur in nature. We are not talking about natural hybridization, as this isn’t natural. These are artificial techniques that have been done in a laboratory. So let’s dive into this topic a little bit more.
What is GMO? Chemical Companies In Charge of Our Food
Genetically modified organisms (GMO) are organisms that has been artificially manipulated in a lab.Their genetic material has been manipulated with to create combinations of plant, bacteria, virus or animal genes that don’t naturally occur. GMOs were engineered to withstand the exposure of herbicide and/or to produce an insecticide, but now new technologies are being developed to create new organisms via synthetic biology and artificially develop other plant traits. The biggest GMO companies are Monsanto, Bayer, Syngena, Dow and Du Pont, but they are all also chemical companies. They are engineering plants that they can spray their chemical herbicide on, without it killing the plant. They are making plants tolerate poison, so they can use a lot more poison.
Glyphosate, the active herbicide in Roundup, was originally used as an industrial cleaner, but one day it spilled out onto the land and killed all the plants. Monsanto, bought glyphosate and patented it as an herbicide. But there was a problem, glyphosate would normally kill all the plants it was used on, so they genetically engineered the seeds and plants to be “Round-up ready”, so if they are sprayed, they can survive. Unfortunately, 80% of GMO seeds are “Round-up ready” varieties. Unfortunately, most packaged and processed foods contain ingredients derived from GMO like soy, canola, corn, sugar beets, etc and they contain more than 750 different products sold in the US that contain high levels of glyphosate, an active pesticide in the weed killer Roundup, made by Monsanto, the most heavily used weedkiller in global agriculture, and second most popular one that is used at home.
In addition to engineering crops to withstand Roundup, they also engineered crops like cotton and corn plants to produce their own toxic insecticide/pesticide called Bt toxin, this breaks up tiny holes in the gut walls of the insects, destroying their digestive lining, killing them.
The Effects of GMO
“And when it is said to them, “Do not cause corruption on the earth,” they say, “We are but reformers.” Unquestionably, it is they who are the corrupters, but they perceive [it] not.” (Quran 2:11)
When GMO’s first came out, they promised insect resistance, wanted to decrease our dependence on pesticides, and increase the yield world-wide, GMO agriculture has failed that promise, it hasn’t helped the yields, and we have been using 21% more pesticides in the USA. They are not the solution to all the world’s problems and are leading to more disruption.
They told us it wouldn’t effect humans, because we don’t have the pathway for which glyphosate works by in plants- the shikimate pathway, but unfortunately, our gut microbes do have this pathway. This chemical is very active in disrupting beneficial bacteria, leading to leaky gut, imbalanced gut bacteria, as it doesn’t kill the bad bacteria, leading to its overgrowth and damage to the intestinal wall. As a chelator, glyphosate can take out metals and minerals from your body, specifically amino acids like tryptophan and tyrosine that the gut bugs need to make dopamine and serotonin. We are just beginning to understand what kind of effects this will cause, as Bt toxin and Roundup can create leaky gut, and glyphosate has also been patented as an antibiotic. Glyphosate may negatively affect vitamin D3 activation in the liver, potentially explaining epidemic levels of vitamin D deficiency. Glyphosate exposure has been linked to increased cancers.
The pesticide (Bt toxin) disrupts the microbiome, compromises the ability to detoxify toxins, depletes vitamin D and other key nutrients, and can mimic hormones like estrogen, which can lead to cancers. The pesticide can be linked to a fourfold increase of celiac disease and other autoimmune conditions, according to 270 studies compiled by MIT in 2013. So many other diseases have increased since the introduction of GMOs and Roundup, increasing toxins, allergens and nutritional problems in the food we eat. For example, GMO soy has up to 7x more of an allergen then regular soy. Removing these foods can eliminate the dysfunction.
Currently, in the US the GMO foods are soy, corn, sugar, alfalfa, cotton seed oil and fabric, papaya, canola, zucchini and yellow squash. In some areas, apples, potatoes and salmon are also being genetically engineered.
So why is a chemical company in charge of our food? We know it is kabith, so while the rest of the world is still figuring it out, let’s get back to Quran and Sunnah and avoid all kabith, including GMO.
Live purely and eat tayyib foods allows us to heal the gut, balance hormones and detoxify your body, thereby healing and preventing chronic disease, and optimizing the health of the Ummah.
So to recap the following are steps to implementation:
Confirm your intention. You are doing this to take care of the bodies that Allah, glorified and exalted, has blessed us with. We trying to live our deen because we love Allah.
Know what is tayyib and what is khabith:
What is Pure and What is Impure?
Live purely and eat tayyib foods allows us to heal the gut, balance hormones and detoxify your body, thereby healing and preventing chronic disease, and optimizing the health of the Ummah.
So to recap the following are steps to implementation:
1. Confirm your intention. You are doing this to take care of the bodies that Allah, glorified and exalted, has blessed us with. We trying to live our deen because we love Allah.
2. Know what is tayyib and what is khabith:
Pure and Lawful | Impure and Prohibited |
Vegetables | Artificial Colours, like candy, coloured drinks like roohaza, coloured frosting, coloured cake, chicken 65, biryani with colouring, etc |
Fruit | Preservatives like in hot dogs, meats, seafood, salt, jams, bread, fast food, chips, junk food, etc |
Clean Protein | Artificial ingredients: Sodas, ice creams, candy, donuts, cakes, bread, cereals, fast food, MSG, chips, junk food, etc |
Healthy Fat | GMOs like canola oil, soy, corn, papaya, some zucchini, some apples and some potatoes |
