If you are in a Life-or-Death scenario, certain acts such as eating haram food, like pork, blood, or carrion, or other sinful acts can be done to survive, but only if there are no halal alternatives:


“He has only forbidden you to eat carrion, blood, swine, and what is slaughtered in the name of any other than Allah. But if someone is compelled by necessity—neither driven by desire nor exceeding immediate need—they will not be sinful. Surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”

Source: [Quran, 2:173]


So say you are on a deserted island, and the only food source you can find are wild pigs, it would be permissable to eat them to not starve, even if pork is haram

Which also means Jack Sparrow technically never sinned when he drank the rum on that island, as it was his only source of water, and he'd otherwise die of thirst

This could also work with sins not food-related, like say you are forced at gunpoint to commit a crime, it wouldn't be a sin as you are forced to do so

The story of Prophet Yusuf (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ) holds a unique place in the Qur'an. He is the only Prophet to have his story told chronologically within a single surah, titled "Surah Yusuf."

It's also my favourite story :)

#IslamicFact #8

The Holy Qur'an in Surah Al-Mu’minun and Surah Al-Alaq describe the stages of human embryonic development, from a "clot" to a lump, then to bones and flesh, in surprising detail for a book revealed over 1400 years ago

My son got a 3d printer for Christmas and made me a planter :)
