the sense of taste that Allah, in His endless generosity,
has placed at our service. The Qur’an tells us that
Allah has created good, clean food for human beings:

Allah made Earth a stable home for you
and the sky a dome; formed you, giving
you the best of forms; and provided you
with good and wholesome things. That
is Allah, your Lord. Blessed be Allah, the
Lord of all the worlds. (Surah Ghafir, 64)
