Many would take the opinion that anything they consume or buy is halal until proved haram.. Especially when one makes money he feels he is free to do whatever he wills with it... This thread will shed light on the sunnah and ways today that people do things.. Specifically the modern products of today.
What would take the permission of doing something to making it forbidding to do a thing.. Lets take a closer look..
Authentic vs Artificial
What is an authentic thing? It is something that is natural or pure.. Authentic is the way it was created in its first form without being altered by anthing...
Everything we do should be done in the pure form, the natural way...Unfortuneley the world has adopted a way of thinking that more is better hence the term additions come from...Additions is the artificial nature of a thing... It is when someone takes something authentic and alters it in some way making it a created substance..... Lets look at each of these subjects in categories..
The easiest category to show differences between is the food groups...
When a person take anything in its natural state and adds to it any ingredient or takes away any ingredient, it then becomes artificial as stated..
Is this process haram?? Most likely it is not haram to do this but is it the sunnah?? In ancient time people did not usually consume anything artificial..Even their bread was much different then it is today..
Their food clothing to transportation was very much authentic than it is today..
Modern Effects
Today we have grown accustomed to many artificial things.. Our foods are processed from the nearest factories with so many additives we do not even keep track...
Instead of doing things the authentic way we have seemed to adopt a complete artificial way of living... You would be hard pressed to find one thing in modern life that is authentic...
How serious is this matter?? Well of course the average man would say connivance is important and its not a big deal but what experts are saying about our living conditions is enough to alert the highest scholars indeed...
Our food alone is susceptible to very many artificial processes. Scientist are showing us that these processes are destructive to our societies... Besides giving us optimal health and taste they seem to be doing the opposite..
How can it be allowed for us to live in this matter knowing the outcomes that we are doing to ourselves... It would be a permission until the studies prove that people are harming themselves from these methods...
