Why do we study history?
“Whoever wishes to forsee the future must consult the past; for human events ever resemble those of preceding times. This arises from the fact that they are produced by men who ever have been, and ever shall be, animated by the same passions, and thus they necessarily have the same results”Machiavelli

Halal• Islam has laws regarding which foods can and cannot be eaten and also on the proper method of
slaughtering an animal for consumption, known as dhabihah. However if there is no other food available then a Muslim is allowed to eat non-Halal food.[3] Surah 2:173 states:
• If one is forced because there is no other choice, neither craving nor transgressing, there is no sin in him. Indeed, Allah is forgiving, merciful
• [edit]Explicitly forbidden substances• A variety of substances are considered as harmful (haraam) for humans to consume and,
therefore, forbidden as per various Quranic verses:• Pork meat (i.e., flesh of pig)[Qur'an 2:173].• Blood[Qur'an 2:173].• All carnivores and birds of prey.• Animals slaughtered in the name of anyone but Allah. All that has been dedicated or offered in
sacrifice to an idolatrous altar or saint or a person considered to be "divine"[Qur'an 2:173] [Qur'an 5:3].• Carrion[Qur'an 2:173].• An animal that has been strangled, beaten (to death), killed by a fall, gored (to death), savaged
by a beast of prey (except that which you may have slaughtered while it was still alive)[Qur'an 5:3].• The fish must die out of water and because of natural suffocation in the free air, on the ground or
on the deck of the fishing boat. Otherwise, it's not halal.• Food over which Allah's name is not pronounced[Qur'an 6:121].• Alcohol and other intoxicants[Qur'an 5:90-91].• All these substances may be consumed as last options in life-threatening situations.
