Verses from The Holy Quran where Allah (SWT) describes what is Halal (lawful) and Haram (unlawful):

Say, "I do not find within that which was revealed to me [anything] forbidden to one who would eat it unless it be a dead animal or blood spilled out or the flesh of swine - for indeed, it is impure - or it be [that slaughtered in] disobedience, dedicated to other than Allah . But whoever is forced [by necessity], neither desiring [it] nor transgressing [its limit], then indeed, your Lord is Forgiving and Merciful."
(Surat Al-anam, 6:115)

3. Prohibited to you are dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah , and [those animals] killed by strangling or by a violent blow or by a head-long fall or by the goring of horns, and those from which a wild animal has eaten, except what you [are able to] slaughter [before its death], and those which are sacrificed on stone altars, and [prohibited is] that you seek decision through divining arrows. That is grave disobedience. This day those who disbelieve have despaired of [defeating] your religion; so fear them not, but fear Me. This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion. But whoever is forced by severe hunger with no inclination to sin - then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
4. They ask you, [O Muhammad], what has been made lawful for them. Say, "Lawful for you are [all] good foods and [game caught by] what you have trained of hunting animals which you train as Allah has taught you. So eat of what they catch for you, and mention the name of Allah upon it, and fear Allah ." Indeed, Allah is swift in account.
(Surat Al-Maidah, 5:3-4)

So eat of that [meat] upon which the name of Allah has been mentioned, if you are believers in His verses.
(Surat Al-Anam, 6:118)

And do not eat of that upon which the name of Allah has not been mentioned, for indeed, it is grave disobedience. And indeed do the devils inspire their allies [among men] to dispute with you. And if you were to obey them, indeed, you would be associators [of others with Him].
(Surat Al-Anam, 6:121)

And eat of what Allah has provided for you [which is] lawful and good. And fear Allah , in whom you are believers.
(Surat Al-Maidah, 5:88)

O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone alters [to other than Allah ], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful.
(Surat Al-Maidah, 5:90)

Lawful to you is game from the sea and its food as provision for you and the travelers, but forbidden to you is game from the land as long as you are in the state of ihram. And fear Allah to whom you will be gathered.
(Surat Al-Maidah, 5:96)

And it is He who subjected the sea for you to eat from it tender meat and to extract from it ornaments which you wear. And you see the ships plowing through it, and [He subjected it] that you may seek of His bounty; and perhaps you will be grateful.
(Surat An-Nahl, 16:14)

O mankind, eat from whatever is on earth [that is] lawful and good and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy
(Surat Al-Baqarah, 2:168)

 

Then what is Haram meat? Haram meat is from any animal that was slaughtered without mentioning the name of Almighty Allah. We did not give life to animals and we are not allowed to take it the way we want it. Usually, the animals that were slaughtered haram way were killed very cruelly and as a result their meat is not healthy because it is full of blood and hormones of fear. This is the example:
