{In the Islamic religion, the term halal {means|implies|signifies} food that is {permissible|allowable}. The {opposite|antonym} of halal is haram, which means {prohibited|unlawful|forbidden}. And there are foods {identified|distinguished|described} as haram, including pork, blood, animal meat where the animal was {slaughtered|butchered} not in the name of Allah, carrion or carcasses of dead animals, alcohol, and any other food over which Allah’s name was not {pronounced|said|enunciated}.|The Islamic {faith|religion} {decrees|orders|rules} that some {ingredients|elements} are not {good|clean} for the body. These ingredients are called haram, or {prohibited|unlawful|forbidden}. On the contrary, there are ingredients which are {good|healthy|right|beneficial} for eating, and these are called halal. Examples of haram {substances|contents} include pork, blood, and any kind of animal meat where the animal was {slaughtered|butchered} rather {brutally|savagely|viciously} and not in the name of Allah, meat from dead animals, alcohol, and food where the name of Allah was not {mentioned|noted|referred to} during {preparation|readying|cooking} and prior to {eating|consuming}.|The Islamic {faith|religious belief|organized religion|religion} {regards|sees|considers|views} the body as a sacred temple, {therefore|thus|hence|thence}, Islam {believers|worshippers} do not take in food and substances which they {believe|consider|think} can {damage|harm|hurt} their bodies. These foods are called haram or {prohibited|unlawful|forbidden}. Examples of haram foods are pork, blood, meat from a dead animal, meat from an animal who was {butchered|slaughtered} rather {brutally|viciously}, and all kinds of food where the name of Allah was not {mentioned|observed|remarked} during the preparation and before {partaking|partaking in}. Alcohol is also a {strictly|rigorously|stringently} {prohibited|unlawful|forbidden} substance. Outside these food items, Islam {believers|worshippers} {eat|consume|take} the halal foods, or those which are {permitted|granted|allowed}.}
