O you who acknowledge, eat of the good things We have provided for you, and be thankful to God if it is Him you serve.

[2:172-173] Throughout the Quran, only four dietary articles are prohibited (6:145; 16:115). Other dietary prohibitions are the products of those who have divided themselves into sects and factions by following hadith and sunna. Prohibiting something that God has not prohibited in the name of God is another way of associating partners with God (6:121,147).
