THE IMPORTANCE OF HALAL (LEGAL) FOOD
A believer who follows the creed of Allah in this life wants to nourish his body legally. When he nourishes his body legally, he has no desire for sins even if they are close and easy to him because Allah makes a barrier in his heart between him and sins.
If the body is nourished by illegal food, he will go to sins. It was narrated that Haroon Ar'rasheed (the caliph) appointed his brother Bahlool (he was a virtuous man) to observe markets, it is like the ministry of rations now, to observe measures, scales and prices in markets.
Bahlool worked for a year, he didn't make any cases for anyone. Haroon called him and said to him: "I see you didn't make any cases through a whole year, do all people behave according to Sharia'a?" He said: "O Ameer Al-Mo'meneen (prince of believers) I saw that Allah revenges from unfair people automatically." He asked: "How?" He said: "They spend the illegal money they get in sins and faults."
This is the way of Allah as He saya:
"And you will not find any change in the Way of Allah." 33-63
Bahlool thought that by this they got their fair punishment from Allah. So when the body is nourished legally, it straightens, can a son nourished legally raise his voice (not his hand) in front of his father or mother? No, by Allah, because he was legally brought up, he tends to good even if some bad people seduce him while he is heedless; Allah made him awareness and consciousness in his heart to save him as Allah says:
"Verily, those who are the pious when an evil thought comes to them from Satan, they remember (Allah), and (indeed) they then see (aright)." 7-201
So a Muslim nourishes his body legally as permitted by Allah (Glory to Him). Allah only prohibits things which are corruptive to both body and religion. He forbids us from them because of this spoil, if they were anyway useful; He would permit them, He banned wine, pig and other things, why? Because they spoil body, religion, morals and societies, people who drink and eat them admit this and demonstrate their damages and harms by their scientific equipment. Because they do not believe in Allah and have no preacher in their hearts from Allah, they can't abstain themselves from these sins although they all do know and confess that they cause great harm
