Islam is not a religion of worship only but claims a complete code of life which provides guidance regarding all spheres of life to its believers. Food is one of the most important necessities that is needed for the existence of the human body. Therefore, Islam provides complete and clear concepts regarding lawful and unlawful things for human life. The concept of Ḥalal food given by Islam is getting more importance worldwide with regard to its recognition as pure, hygienic, healthy and of standard quality. Keeping in view the importance of Ḥalal food for Muslims, the current study intends to highlight the Islamic concept of Ḥalal food with reference to Qurʼān and Sunnah. In this regard, several Questions are raised as to what is the Islamic concept of Ḥalal food. What are the benefits of Ḥalal food on humans? How can one determine the Ḥalal food in light of Sharīʻah? What is the role of the family in instilling the concept of Ḥalal food in early childhood? To answer these questions, a Qualitative research methodology is adopted. The study concludes that providing awareness to children at an early age is important, and the family plays a vital role in this regard. The study will be helpful for the parents and families in recognizing their duties to make their children aware of Ḥalal food at an early age.
