About Halal

WHAT IS HALAL?

Halal is an Arabic term meaning lawful or permissible and it does not only encompass food and drink, but all matters of daily life. When it comes to halal food, most people think of meat products only. However, Muslims must ensure that all foods, particularly processed foods, pharmaceuticals and non food items like cosmetics are Halal or haram (unlawful, not permissible (the opposite of Halal)). Halal is not a new term. It is as old as the initiation of man (Adam), who was a Muslim and the representative of God on earth.

The life of a Muslim revolves around the concept of Halal. A Muslim must earn income from Halal sources, be involved only in Halal transactions and consume Halal food, drink and Halal related accessories.
