Haram = Harm
That which is prohibited by Allah is not prohibited to harm us but is prohibited because it will harm us.
I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) saying: ‘Souls are like conscripted soldiers; those whom they recognize, they get along with, and those whom they do not recognize, they will not get along with.’
— ‘Aa’ishah (radiallahu anha) (via forthegalaxy)
