In Islamic teachings, the concepts of Haram and Pak play a central role in guiding a Muslim’s daily life and spiritual purity. Haram refers to anything that is clearly prohibited by Allah and His Messenger ﷺ. Engaging in haram actions or consuming haram things brings spiritual harm, weakens faith, and distances a person from the mercy of Allah. Examples include dishonesty, harmful behavior, interest (riba), intoxicants, and forbidden foods. The purpose of declaring something haram is to protect individuals and society from moral and physical harm.
