    The document discusses Islamic dietary restrictions, which are based on guidelines from the Quran and teachings of Allah. Pork and alcohol are strictly prohibited. Meat is divided into categories like halal (permitted), haram (forbidden), makrooh (discouraged), and mashbooh (suspected). While all seafood is halal, pork is haram. Vegetables have no restrictions. Muslims also avoid caffeine, stimulants, and depressants. When slaughtering animals for food, Muslims use a merciful technique of cutting the animal's throat while mentioning Allah.
