Halal vs kosher

Halal and kosher are terms that describe foods that are lawful or permissible to eat according to Islamic and Jewish dietary laws. Halal refers to foods allowed for Muslims, kosher to foods allowed for Jews. While there are some differences in the specific preparation rules, the Quran states that food of "People of the Book" (Jews and Christians) is permissible for Muslims to eat, and Muslims' halal food is also permissible for Jews. Therefore, Muslims can eat kosher food and Jews can eat halal food.
