Halal in a Non-Muslim Country

For a Muslim person living in a largely Muslim populated region, the question of ‘Halal’, and adhering to norms regarding the same is not difficult. Although halal services and food are relatively accessible in multiracial areas around the world, there is an urgent requirement of an authority to implement and supervise the standards. This is especially important in the case where services or products are prepared, sold, made, or handled by non-Muslims.  Muslims living in non-Muslim countries need to be more cautious to enjoy everything Halal.

A number of dishes that are allegedly ‘meat-free’ and certain desserts, contain pork. This can be due to additives such as gelatine that is present in them. Even the additive, ‘MSG’ is questionable as there may be enzymes derived in the production process from pig fat. Such additives are rather problematic to avoid, or try to avoid as usually they are not explicitly listed on menus in restaurants.

Common with Muslims living away from their native country is that the supply and availability of halal services and products can be limited if an individual depends solely on local markets or sources. They must combat this with online help. If not getting better and varied products delivered, then at least finding recipes and other things to improve the experience with what is already available.

There have been laws passed in some places around the world for products that are ‘mislabelled’ Halal. This is when authorities determine that the food or other such does not strictly adhere to Islamic dietry standards, Dhabihah. There are similar laws protecting the Jewish faith, and their Kosher foods as well.

Halal is the New Choice of Many

As proven by Professor Schultz of Hanover University in Germany, the Islamic way of killing for food an animal gives near to no pain while the other method of Captive Bolt Stunning (CBS) is rather painful. He did this in a test, where the feelings of the brain activity of animals were calculated and then results compared by EEG.

Even though all halal foods are in five general food groups, animal meat is an unique case. Meat is commonly halal meaning that the eating of meat is not completely prohibited, but it must fulfil simple criteria to be consumable by Muslims.

Being a developed or developing country, it is accountability of the government to make available food adhering to the religious beliefs belonging to diverse cultures of the world. Slaughter houses should be intimately monitored for the appropriate slaughter and for proper storage of halal food. Furthermore, ingredients which are put to use in processed food should be from the halal source as well. One more system which can carry noteworthy development is the labelling of all ingredients on all the processed food goods which are consumed by Muslim society.

Pork is prohibited by the Qur’an as it is strictly taken as “impure” (Qur’an 6:145). Several health risks are linked with the consumption of pork as it may have unsafe worms (trichinosis) and germs. Since it is not achievable at all times to get “healthier” pork, its consumption as halal food is forbidden Tweet

Halal: Much More Than Just a Term Used for Food

The term Halal can be found on quite a variety of food tags and eateries. The phrase is essential for fellow Muslims as it represents what is accepted for them to make use of while adhering to their stringent Islamic laws. In a world with the intermingling of diverse cultures and religions, the term halal food is very important.

Halal is a broad Islamic term encompassing not just matters of food and drink (halal food), but all other aspects of daily life as well. In compliance with Islamic custom, no person with the exclusion of God can modify or alter forbidden (Haram) into lawful (halal) or vice-versa.

The processes in the direction of making worldwide the Halal food criterion and endorsement is expected to achieve an intense tempo within the approaching years. If things continue as anticipated, Muslims the world over will sometime in the near future have a solitary standard to administrate the production of their halal food, their cosmetics, and their leisure.

Animals That Make Halal Food And Their Treatment

Halal is usually used to depict what is acceptable both in food and in actions. We normally associate halal food with cuisine within the Muslim society, as do numerous non-Muslims.
For an animal to be presented at the table as halal food, it must have lived a pure life from the very start, concluding a cycle of life that is tolerable in agreement with Islamic norms. It must have been fed well, been treated well, and been sacrificed appropriately.
The type of treatment and food an animal gets throughout its life is imperative. It should not be ill-treated, uncared for or caused any pain. It should not be restricted to a spot where it cannot move or walk ordinarily or get fresh air. It should be fed clean water and food that is suitable and absolutely never fed another animal or products that have the by-products of other animals.
The slaughter should under no circumstances be done in the attendance of other animals and the animal should be made at ease as it is placed for the sacrifice. The action of the sacrifice should be performed with a sharp object, so as to hasten the process and diminish the pain suffered by the animal for halal food as much as feasible.
Subsequently, the blood should be entirely drained from the animal. It is the blood that carries toxins, germs and bacteria and when left inside the body of the animal, could potentially make people sick. Furthermore, halal food bans the consumption of blood of an animal. Tweet
