World Halal Day 17th of Ramadan-i Sharif
Ramadan Mubarak to all of you with your families. I wish 17th Ramadan World Halal Day leads resurgence of humanity, give up rebellion against Allah, and live with Halal and Tayyib products. We hope World Halal Day contributes to remind us sinking into oblivion halal morsel responsibility, turning our life into a Halal way. We anounce World Halal Day as a gift to all Ummah as World Halal Council members.
World Halal Day is celebrated in order to increase our Halal consciousness, awareness and to reach large masses.
How has World Halal Day determined?
Esteemed Ulamas declared that the first ayah on Halal was Ayah 69 of Sura Anfal (8:69). This ayah was revealed in 17th Ramadan in 624 (A.H. 2) during (or after) Battle of Badr, the first battle between Islam and kufr.
“So consume what you have taken of war booty [as being] lawful and good, and fear Allah. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.” (8:69)
Man is formed by what he eats. This means there is a direct relation between the body and the spirit and what the person is nurtured with. If one eats Halal and Tayyib, his body and spirit will be healthy, both physically and mentally.
If we want Tayyib (good, nice), we have to be careful to earn from Halal way and eat and consume Halal and Tayyib products. May Allah shower His blessings on us.
