Morals towards Eating and Drinking in Islam
Abstract
Ethics of eating and drinking in Islam constitute an essential part of moral teachings that regulate the fulfillment of physical needs in a dignified manner and as an act of worship. In modern life, eating and drinking are often perceived as trivial activities, leading to the neglect of ethical considerations and spiritual dimensions, and encouraging consumptive lifestyles. This study aims to examine the concept of Islamic ethics related to eating and drinking and to analyze its relevance in contemporary Muslim life. The research employs a qualitative method using a library research approach. Data were obtained from the Qur’an and the Hadith as primary sources, as well as books and scholarly journal articles as secondary sources. Data analysis was conducted using a descriptive-analytical method. The findings indicate that Islam emphasizes principles of halal consumption, moderation, cleanliness, proper manners, and sincere intention in eating and drinking. These values contribute to character formation, self-control, and spiritual awareness. Future studies are recommended to explore the empirical implementation of Islamic consumption ethics within broader social contexts.
