HALAL EXPERTISE 

The Halal Concept

 

 

The word “Halal” Literally means permissible and in translation, it is usually used as 

lawful. Opposite to Halal is Haram, which means unlawful or forbidden. With today’s 

manufacturing and food production, it is hard to know what goes in the food we eat. Food 

labeling helps, but not everything is listed, and what is listed is often a mystery. 

In reference to food, it is dietary standard, as prescribed in the Quran the Muslim 

scripture. General Quranic guidance dictates that all foods are Halal except those that are 

specifically mentioned as Haram (unlawful or prohibited). Islam is the natural way of 

life. Its economical system is just; its social system is based on cooperation and 

brotherhood; its political system is based on consultation and dietary laws are very 

simple and beneficial for all the humanity. 

The life of the Muslim revolves around the concept of Halal. A Muslim must consume 

Halal food and drink.
