Ruling on not eating meat or dairy products (veganism)

I'm vegain, I mean I do not eat any meat
product or dairy from milk , eggs, cheese , or honey , any think that have to do with
animal I just I don't eat it, and the thing that I like the religion of the Islam I would
like to be a part of it , so my question can I be a Muslim and still don't eat meat and
animal product ? Thank you so much

Praise be to Allaah.

Yes, you can be a Muslim without eating these animal products, but you
need to be aware of the following:

You should not think that these things are haraam (forbidden), because Allaah says
(interpretation of the meanings):

“O you who believe! Make not unlawful the tayyibaat (all that is
good as regards foods, things, deeds, beliefs, persons, etc.) which Allaah has made lawful
to you, and transgress not. Verily, Allaah does not like the transgressors.”
[al-Maa’idah 5:87]

“Say: who has forbidden the adornment with clothes given by Allaah,
which He has produced for His slaves, and al-tayyibaat [all kinds of lawful things] of
food? Say: they are, in the life of this world, for those who believe, (and) exclusively
for them (believers) on the Day of Resurrection (the disbelievers will not share them).
Thus We explain the aayat (Islamic laws) in detail for people who have
knowledge.” [al-A’raaf 7:32]

“Say: Tell me, what provision has Allaah sent down to you! And you
have made of it lawful and unlawful. Say: Has Allaah permitted you (to do so), or do you
invent a lie against Allaah?” [Yoonus 10:59]

You should not think that it is better to abstain from these foods, or
that doing so will be rewarded, or that a vegetarian is closer to Allaah than others, and
so on. It is not permitted to draw closer to Allaah in this way. The Prophet
(peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him), who is the best of mankind and the closest to
Allaah, used to eat meat and drink milk and honey. When one of his Companions wanted to
give up meat, he told him that this was wrong. Anas reported that there was a group of the
Companions of the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), one of whom
said, “I will never marry women”; another said, “I will not eat meat”;
another said, “I will not sleep on a bed”; and another said, “I will fast
and never break my fast.” News of this reached the Messenger of Allaah
(peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him). He praised and thanked Allaah, then said: “
What is wrong with the people who are saying such and such? I pray and I sleep; I fast and
I break my fast; and I marry women. Whoever deviates from my Sunnah (way) does not belong
to me.” (Reported by al-Nisaa’i; the story is also to be found in the two
Saheehs of al-Bukhaari and Muslim).

There is a great difference between not eating a certain
kind of food because one does not like it, or it does not agree with one, or one has been
put off – for example by seeing an animal slaughtered when one was a child, which may
leave one with a distaste for meat – and other similar reasons, and thinking that
meat is haraam and that abstaining from it is an act of worship, as is done by Brahmins,
monks and others who are misguided.

Once this matter is clear in your mind, there is nothing wrong with not
eating foods that you do not like. We will be happy to welcome you soon as our sister in
Islam. We ask Allaah to give you the strength to do good and to protect you from every
evil. Allaah is the One Who guides to the Straight Path.

And important note that we want to discuss and share with you it is about Quran reading and doing Quran recitation online to understand it, Ramadan is the month when the beautiful the Holy Quran has been revealed.  A miracle by the creator of the worlds, Allah (SWT)  Should we not glorify him by reading quran the gift he has sent down for us and learn Arabic Quran by heart  to feel the power of it and we as Muslim should try to learn quran with translation to understand it  wile we do Quran memorization and let our heart fill will tears of glory and wash away our sins in the month of Ramadan many people teach quran  and we should participate in teaching quran as much as we could because it is the noble cause to spread the word of Allah and the quran tutor will get the reword in the day of judgment “Will they not meditate on the Quran, or are there locks on the hearts”, Quran for kids , Surah Muhammad, Verse 24.
