Halal, Haram and Makrooh

Halal, Haram and Makrooh is an Arabic word meaning you are allowed to do it. Halal is what Islam is allowed to do. It also means that what you are allowed to eat for e.g cow, fish, and vegetable. Muslims are not allowed certain things but most things are allowed. Whatever meat it is, it has got to be blessed before it is killed.
Haram is an Arabic word meaning something that is forbidden. Whatever Allah has said you are not allowed is Haram. For e.g. stealing, drinking, alcohols, flirting with women or women flirting with men, gambling, interest, betraying Islam, non-clean and non- approved food is Haram in Islam like pork.
Makrooh: Makrooh is an Arabic word meaning not desirable. From an Islamic point of view Makrooh is something that is disliked by Allah and so we shouldn’t do it. There are two categories of Makrooh. They are Makrooh-e-Tahrime ane Makrooh-e-Tanjil.
Makrooh-e-Tahrime: Means that it is very close to Haram. If you do this you will commit a sin.
Makrooh-e-Tanjil: Means it’s very close to Halal but it’s not. You still shouldn’t do this because it’s a sin.
Mubah: Mubah is an Arabic word meaning that it is ok and is like Halal. Mubah is like Halal so it is legal, for e.g. selling, farmer, if you do work like that is legal. These kinds of jobs have no sin or from Allah.
Halal, Haram and Makrooh is  impotent to compare in our life.
