What is (HARAM) forbidden in Islam and why?

What is (HARAM) forbidden in Islam and why?

In Islam, things that are considered haram (forbidden) are banned because they violate Islamic principles and teachings. These prohibitions are based on the Quran, Hadith (sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ ), and Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh). We are describing here some common Haram acts and why they are considered Haram:-

Alcohol and intoxicants (khamar):-

 Consumption of alcohol and other intoxicants is haraam because they impair judgment, lead to sinful behavior and hinder the ability to fulfill religious obligations.

Alcohol is haram in islam. 

"Allah says in Quran 
"They ask you (0 Muhammad) concerning alcoholic drink and gambling. Say: In them is a great sin, and (some) benefits for men, but the sin of them is greater than their benefit""
(SURAH AL-BAQARAH AYAT 2:219)"

Pig meat and its products:-

Pig meat is considered haram as it is clearly prohibited in the Quran. Its consumption is considered impure and unhealthy.

Usury (Riba):-

Engaging in usury or interest-related transactions is haraam because it exploits people economically and goes against Islamic principles of fairness and justice.

Gambling (Masir):-

Gambling is haraam because it promotes addiction, financial ruin, and immoral behavior. It depends on chance rather than honest action.

Adultery and adultery:-

 Sexual relations outside legal marriage are haram because they undermine family values, morality and purity.

Theft (सरिकाः):-

 Theft is haraam because it violates the property rights of others and disrupts social order.

Lying and Lying (Qadib):-

 Lying and lying are haraam because they are against the truth and honesty given in Islam.

Backbiting (Gheeba):-

 Talking negatively about others behind their backs is haraam because it harms their reputation and violates the principle of respecting the dignity of others.

Murder and Unlawful Killing:-

 Taking the life of an innocent person is haraam because it is a serious violation of the sanctity of life, and only Allah has the right to determine when a life should end.

Idolatry (Shirk):-

 Associating partners with Allah or worshiping idols is the greatest sin in Islam. This contradicts the fundamental belief in the oneness of Allah (Tawheed).

Halal Eating animals that have not been properly slaughtered (Dhabiha):-

 According to Islamic guidelines, eating animals that have not been properly slaughtered is haraam because their consumption is considered impure and immoral.

Engaging in slander and false accusations (Qadaf):-

 Accusing someone of wrongdoing without evidence is haraam as it may lead to unjust punishment and harm to the innocent.

"Some people asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), "Who is the best Muslim? He replied, "One who avoids harming the Muslims with his tongue and hands." And a Muhajir (migrant) is one who leaves what Allah has made haram"


By following these principles, Muslims can maintain good physical, mental and spiritual health. These prohibitions in Islam are designed to promote moral and ethical conduct, maintain the well-being of individuals and society, and maintain the principles of justice, honesty, and piety. Avoiding haraam actions is a fundamental part of practicing Islam and achieving Allah's pleasure by striving to live a virtuous life. It is important to note that the interpretation of haram can vary between different Islamic scholars and schools of thought, so when in doubt it is advisable to seek guidance from a qualified scholar or religious authority.
