What Is The Topic Of Religion?
The way to get Tazkia is to deliver the resources Allah has given us as a trustee to the rightful owners. If we manage to discharge this liability — aka Infaaq — before our time ends on the planet we will be certified as “clean”. Protecting our health and all other resources is part of our role as a trustee as others have a right on them. If i dont take care of my health and fall sick i wont be able to take care of my family members or pay my bills etc or be able to discharge my other responsibilities (including spending time on worshipping God) as a result i will fail to deliver the resources bestowed upon me to the rightful owners. That’s why avoiding pork is important as it causes health issues and those issues causes the moral issues .
Ghusl seems to be hygiene related- where’s the spiritual purity tazkiyah element?
So when the Quran says ‘eat the tayyibaat’ why should we restrict this to the morality behind eating meats which may somehow someday lead some people to some sort of moral issues. The whole concept seems very far fetched . All meat looks the same once cooked and seasoned. Why not interpret it the more likely way which is relating the tayyibaat to clean, pure, healthy things?
