Abstract:
Background and Aim: Halal nutrition in Islamic thought extends beyond the permissibility of food and encompasses dimensions of purity, quality, safety and moral - psychological impact. Recent advances in medical science, particularly in nutritional psychiatry and the gut - brain axis, provide empirical evidence regarding the influence of dietary patterns on cognitive performance, mood regulation, neuroinflammation and overall health.
Method: Using an analytical-comparative approach and a systematic review of jurisprudential, exegetical and international scientific sources, this study explores the conceptual and mechanistic convergence between Islamic teachings on "ṭayyib" (pure and wholesome) foods, prohibitions on harmful substances and contemporary medical findings.
Ethical Considerations: In order to ensure the accuracy and validity of the research, the specified inclusion and exclusion criteria were observed and all articles were selected from reliable sources.
Results: The results demonstrate profound compatibility between Qur’anic principles - such as purity, moderation, avoidance of contamination and prohibition of harmful foods - and modern evidence concerning food safety, metabolic health and the detrimental effects of alcohol, pork and ultra - processed foods.
Conclusion: The findings suggest that halal nutrition functions as a holistic framework for promoting physical, psychological and spiritual well-being and provides a foundation for advancing "health jurisprudence" and culturally informed clinical guidelines for Muslim populations.
