We need to create awareness among the Muslims to be more responsible and not to involve in ghalul. A contemporary issue related to this prophetic narration is about caring what we eat, in terms of two things:
To be cognizant of the ingredients of the food in the restaurant or packed/canned foods, especially if they are imported. We need to make surethat they are lawful.
Many of the things that people consume may cause health problems. We need to be more cognizant about the healthy aspects of the food, that they are ‘pure’. Universities may need to introduce and implement health education so that people can know what the good foods are. They need to be aware of preservatives, colouring and chemical used preparing the food. Harmful contents are considered ‘tayyiban’ (pure).
Scholars mentioned that whatever we consume affects our attitude and behaviour. We need to eat the right food (at-Tayyib) and in the right manners (adab) as prescribed by the religion of Islam – e.g. not to eat excessively. By observing these issues, if Allah wills, it will result in we becoming better Muslims with a better level of Iman and purer heart devoting to Allah. Then everything that we do can be described as ‘at-tayyib’. This condition is achieved by those who observe the manners, earning, drinking, eating the ‘tayyib’ and giving charity from the ‘tayyib’. We will then be the ‘tayyibun’, pure and blessed by the Almighty Allah.
Hope these evidences are enough to satisfy you. If you think they are not still enough, follow me keenly and get before you other equally thirst quenching evidences about the subject. In fact you can even educate others about it better than I’m doing. Be concerned about what concerns you yet seek knowledge, for ignorance is a prison wherein the inmates are those who are reluctant when it comes to seeking knowledge. When you learn, you lead others aright and save them from captivity. But you don’t just learn anything, you seek beneficial knowledge and wisdom from the right sources with the proper ethics. Look for the write up on ethics of seeking knowledge. And as usual, when you sleep over the bed of heedlessness in your youth, then be sure to tread on the path of regret during old age.
Let me hasten to reiterate that seeking knowledge frees you from the captivity and prison of ignorance and darkness. So my good friends, brothers and sisters in Islam, seek beneficial knowledge and wisdom with the correct ethics, aiming to benefit society with the knowledge and hoping for reward from the Almighty Allah.
