KARAKTERISTIK MAKANAN HALALAN THAYYIBAN DALAM AL-QUR’AN

Abstract

Allah SWT commands that humans consume foods that are lawful and thayyib in nature. Food is a physiological requirement that needs to be fulfilled in order to live. This is because, the energy obtained through food is used for work, growth, reproduction, and carrying out the survival process. Food that is said to be halal and thayyib in the Qur'an is that food must have four characteristics. The four characteristics are: a) The food must be halal, both in terms of its substance and in terms of how to get it and in terms of how to process it. b) The food must contain sufficient and balanced nutrition for consumption. c) Be a person who is proportional in taking food, in the sense that it is in accordance with the needs of consumers, not more or less. d) These foods must be safe when consumed. This paper makes a contribution to society, namely by looking at the phenomenon of halal and haram in society and policies in choosing food and guiding people to avoid dubious food (syubhat).
