Halal Happy Meals?
The figures are impressive: There are about 800,000 Muslims in Canada—a number that’s expected to jump to roughly 1.2 million by the end of the decade.
‘Muslim-Style’ Meals
Most Muslims consider chicken — like beef, veal and lamb — to be halal provided the meat is from ritually slaughtered animals.
The Sign Says Halal
A Muslim not-for-profit organization says that even though meat might be advertised as halal, that doesn’t ensure it is slaughtered according to Qur’an guidelines.
Certification of Lawful Foods
Religious certification is a job provincial and federal agencies stay away from. That has paved the way for self-regulating certification agencies.
Halal on the Menu
The imam (Muslim clergyman) of a local masjid (mosque) will soon be ready to certify both slaughterhouse and in-store meat products as halal permissible—to eat.
Genuine Halal Meat?
Canada’s halal meat business is booming – but are Muslims getting what they pay for?
Halal Controls
Halal rules govern how food is prepared in accordance with Islamic theology, and it’s a lucrative business.
Importance Of Halal
Consuming halal is an order of Allah and an essential part of the Islamic faith. Allah has repeatedly emphasized the consumption of halal in His book.
Udhiyya / Eid Ul Adha
Eid ul Adha is a festive day for Muslims throughout the world and is celebrated on the tenth day of Zhul-Hijjah (the final month of the Islamic calendar).
