PT. 18 R. 4. AL-MU'MINÜN CH. 23 يَا يُّهَا الرُّسُلُ كُلُوا مِنَ الطَّيْتِ وَاعْمَلُوا O ye Messengers, eat of the. 52 things that are pure, and do good works. Verily, I am well aware of what you do. 2545 97:33. صَالِحًا إِنِّي بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ عَلِيمٌ 7. He was a Jew, because the name increasingly recognized by medical Yüz Asaf is a Hebrew name. In view of the above-mentioned facts it is not possible to deny that Jesus did come to the East to preach to the lost tribes of Israel, and that Yüz Asaf is Jesus and that the tomb in Khanyar street is that of Jesus. For a better and fuller treatment, however, of this subject see "Masīḥ Hindustan Main" by Aḥmad, the Promised Messiah.

But Islam laid down as far back as 1400 years directions and instructions relating to food which possess great moral significance. While it is admitted that the properties of vegetables and mineral foods have their effect upon man, there is no reason why a man should not be affected by peculiar habits of an animal whose flesh he frequently eats. It has been established that the eating of the flesh of certain animals encourages unnatural vice and sexual perversions. Further research in this direction will confirm the principle on which Islamic restrictions and regulations concerning food are based. The basic principle laid down by Islam is that as man must develop all his natural instincts and faculties, therefore he should partake of all kinds of food, except those that are likely to do him physical, moral or spiritual harm. The use of pure and good food produces healthy mental condition which in turn produces good and righteous actions. It is to this great scientific truth that the words "and do good deeds" point, and thus by recognizing that food exerts a powerful influence on man's morals Islam has subjected it to certain limits and conditions.
