Summary/Abstract: This study elaborates one of the essential human questions. It tackles the issue of human diet in the light of Islamic rules and intentions. The aim of the study was to try to establish the fact that Islam is the universal system of living which is corroborated with the fact that its norm and rules did not disregard a single segment of human life. Then the study focused on the sources of human diet, whether of plant or animal origin, and they were counted thoroughly and each was tackled from the laws point of view. During the study a law status of many sources of food was corroborated with relevant evidence and unprejudiced discussion and objective selection of the most acceptable opinion. The study also tried wherever possible to offer basic or principle rules on ground of which in Islam is possible to differentiate between lawful and unlawful food. In the end there is a conclusion that classification of food in lslam as lawful and unlawful is solely right of the creator. The reason is obvious, because he is the One who created man and only he knows which food is good and suitable and which bad and harmful. And general conclusion of this study is that the philosophy of Islamic diet is not biased on material profit and business, but it is primarily based on general advantage for human, preservation of his health and cosmic harmony of man and surrounding nature.
