Does Allah Really Forbid What You Have Made Forbidden?

To start with, I think some of those who utter haraam every time don't even know its implication. The implication of declaring something haraam tells us that if one does it, one will be punished by Allah, but if one shuns it, one will get rewards. If you put on shirts and trousers, agbada, kembe with abetiaja, dandogo, kijipa, etc., we are less concerned about that. What Islam forbids for a man is that his cloth should not be in the form of gold and silk. The source of the means for your cloth must be halaal, shun extravagance in style and wearing, the maximum length of your trouser should be your ankle. If you so choose, wear a cloth made of rubber, it is not haraam, neither is not wearing a Jalabiyah. Verily, spendthrift brothers of the shaytan (devils), and the shaytan (devil) is ever ungrateful to his Lord. (Quran17:27).

"It is haraam to eat grasshopper because I don't like eating it." In that case, even Eba, semovita, tuwo, fura-de-nunu, and kunu, are all haraamas long as there issomeonewho does not like eating them. There are different reports from Prophet Muhammad that “two dead things are allowed (to be eaten in Islam): anything that dies in water (like fishes) and grasshopper.” Whether dead or alive, eating grasshopper was never made haraam. If you detest eating it, don't make eating it forbidden. Eba, semovitatuwo, Furadenunu, and kunu, are all also halaal. In as much as we got them from lawful sources and they are pure. Therefore, the question of any food being lawful or not should not arise simply because you are not a loyal fan of the food items. No! Don't marry a nurse; nurses are fornicator and adulterers. Don't marry an Alfa; Alfas like marrying more than a wife. Imagine people making haram what Allah has made useful for them because of stereotype.

It is important to note that nobody has the exclusive right to make halaal what Allah has made haraam and vice versa. Even, when the prophet vowed to stop taking honey in order to please two of his wives, Allah called him to order and instructed these wives to seek forgiveness (because they were jealous of another wife from whom the prophet drank honey). For a detailed account of this story, read the commentary (Tafseer) of Qur'an 66:1-5. There are also many Hadith in Sahih Al-Bukhari and Al-Muslim on this matter.

Finally, how do we protect ourselves from the curse of Allah as seen in Qur'an 16:116?

Every Muslim should seek knowledge first before passing any ruling on whether something is haraam or halaal.

Every Muslim should be humble always to ask the real scholars what Allah and the Prophet forbids before ruling in favor of halaal or haraam.

Also, every Muslim should stop making Haram what is halaal just because he/she has an aversion to it.
