Islamic jurisprudence specifies which foods are halāl and which are harām. This is derived from commandments found in the Qur'an, the holy book of Islam, as well as the Hadith and Sunnah, libraries cataloging things the Islamic prophet Muhammad is reported to have said and done. Extensions of these rulings are issued, as fatwas, by mujtahids, with varying degrees of strictness, but they are not always held to be authoritative. According to the Quran, the only foods explicitly forbidden are meat from animals that die of themselves, the meat of pigs, any food dedicated to other than God. However, a person would not be guilty of sin in a situation where the lack of any alternative creates an undesired necessity to consume that, otherwise unlawful; this is the "law of necessity" in Islamic jurisprudence: "That, necessary makes the forbidden permissible." Quranic verses which have information regarding halal foods include: 2:173, 5:5, 6:118–119, 121. A variety of substances are considered as unlawful for humans to consume and, forbidden as per various Qurʼanic verses: The Qur'an in several verses admonishes the consumption of alcohol khamr: They question thee about intoxicants and games of chance.

Say: In both is great sin, utility for men. And they ask thee. Say: that, superfluous, thus God maketh plain to you revelations. O ye who believe! Draw not near unto prayer when ye are drunken, till ye know that which ye utter, nor when ye are polluted, save when journeying upon the road, till ye have bathed, and if ye be ill, or on a journey, or one of you cometh from the closet, or ye have touched women, ye find not water go to high clean soil and rub your faces and your hands. Lo! Allah is Forgiving. O ye who believe! Intoxicants and games of chance and idols and divining arrows are only an infamy of Satan's handiwork. Leave it aside in order that ye may succeed. At first, it was forbidden for Muslims to attend prayers while intoxicated. In addition to this, most observant Muslims refrain from consuming food products that contain pure vanilla extract or soy sauce, as these food products may contain alcohol. There is some debate about whether the prohibition extends to dishes in which the alcohol would be cooked off or if it would be impossible to consume enough of the food to become intoxicated.

Substances which are intoxicants are not prohibited as such. For example, alcohol can be used for cleaning, but not as a beverage; the Alevi Muslims of Turkey permit alcohol, unlike many other denominations. Ismaili Muslims are noted for discouraging, rather than prohibiting, alcohol; the Zaidi and Mutazili sects believe that the use of alcohol has always been forbidden and refer to the Qur'an Ayah as feeling of sleepiness and not to be awake. A fatwa issued in November 2015 permitted the consumption of low-alcohol and non-alcoholic beverages provided that the given beverage contains an amount of 0.5% or the like of alcohol does not entail deeming its consumption unlawful as long as there is no effect of the alcohol upon consumption of the beverage and it does not intoxicate in large quantities. Muhammad ibn al Uthaymeen, a Salafi scholar of Saudi Arabia, was once asked about the so-called beer, given that some brands of non-alcoholic beer have a percentage of alcohol; the following was part of his reply: As to percentage, do not think that any percentage of alcohol in a thing makes it unlawful.

But if the percentage is small without effect it is lawful. For example, a percentage such as 1%, 2% or 3% does not make the beverage unlawful; some people misunderstood the hadeeth that states, "Whatever intoxicates in large quantities a small quantity of it is forbidden", to mean that if a small percentage of an intoxicant is mixed with a large amount of a substance, not intoxicating it is unlawful. This is a misunderstanding of the hadeeth. "Whatever intoxicates in large quantities, a little of it is unlawful" means that if a lot of something will cause intoxication, a little of it will not cause intoxication a lot or a little are both unlawful, because you may drink a little that does not cause intoxication you may be tempted to drink more and become intoxicated. But if something is mixed with alcohol, while the alcohol content is a minute amount and does not have any effect it is lawful and does not come under the ruling of this hadeeth; the Fatwa of the Permanent Committee of Islamweb.net reads, If the beverage that contains a percentage of alcohol intoxicates in large quantities it is unlawful to consume any quantity of it, large or small.

It is deemed prohibited to sell or buy such a beverage and it is obligatory to dispose of it because it is considered khamr. However, if the consumption of a large amount of such a beverage does not intoxicate it is permissible to sell and consume it... Animal who dies of itself i.e. carrion Forbidden to you is that which dies of itself, blood, flesh of swine, that on which any other name than that of Allah has been invoked, the strangled and that beaten to death, that killed by a fall and that killed by being smitten with the horn, that which wild beasts have eaten, except what you slaughter, what is sacrificed on stones set up and that you divide by the arrows.

Mirzai is a derogatory religious slur used by some South Asian Muslims to refer to Ahmadi Muslims in Pakistan where they have been persecuted from early days and specially after the passage of Second Amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan which declares that Ahmadia are not Muslims and Ordinance XX which criminalises their religious practices and claims of being Muslims, to the extent that the fourth Ahmadiyya caliph Mirza Tahir Ahmad was compelled to leave Pakistan and move the headquarters of the Community to London during his years of exile. Ahmadi Muslims are the followers of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian. Etymologically, the term is derived from Mirza, a title of Persian origin denoting the rank of high nobleman or Prince.

Sweet Nothing in my Ear is a play in two acts for 4 men, 5 women, 1 boy. "This is not a "deaf" play. It's a play with deaf and hearing characters. In performance, it must be accessible to both a deaf and hearing audience at the same time, it requires a seamless blend of American Sign spoken English. The two happen through the performance of the play; the role of Dan requires a hearing actor. As a hearing man in a deaf family, he is called upon to interpret speech into sign language, "voice" ASL into speech, or switch his voice off and purely sign. Whenever Dan is alone with any member of his deaf family, he would only sign and not use his voice. All the deaf characters of the play - Laura, Sally, Adam, Dr. Walters - use only American Sign Language, they are "voiced" or "voice acted" from the side of the stage by a member of the company. When Dan switches off his voice and purely signs, he is "voiced" by a company member; the company must be four hearing actors. They sit on the periphery of the stage, never leaving, throughout the play.

They perform three functions: to "voice" the actors who sign, to sign the actors who speak and to step forward as the supporting players. Deaf audience member experience this play signed in their language. Hearing audience members - most who know nothing about sign language - have the experience of watching the play in sign language while hearing it acted at the same time. Two languages become one." - Stephen Sachs Laura is a deaf teacher. Dan is her hearing husband. Adam is their deaf son. Max is Laura's father, deaf. Sally is Laura's mother, deaf.
