What Is Halal From Muslims Perspective

By Chasity Sheppard


Halal is a Muslim word which means legally accepted with respect to Islamic law. Basically, Halal MRE is characterized as allowable food and drinks that are ready to eat. This follows certain belief in what food is only to be eaten same goes what drink is to be drank. These are packed accordingly to be consumed for a long period of time. Moreover, these come from the supplier that uses this practices.

Halal certified foods and drinks are widely in demand. Goods are prepared in accordance to the dietary law of the Islamic teachings. The process and the ingredients are the basis in considering if the food is allowable or not.

Halal foods are to be processed from the meats of chicken, sheep, cattle, and have to be slaughtered by only Muslim people since when so doing, they will be uttering a short prayer. It is also a part of the practiced that in killing, they will be using a very sharp knife that will result into a very quick death and thorough flow of animals blood. In case of some aquatic animals, like fish, this practice is not applied since fish dies when they leave the water and they do not have much blood like birds and animals do.

Other permitted processed food are from any grains like bread, cereals, baked goods, rice, pasta etc. In the case of vegetables, all are permissible whether they are raw, dried, frozen, or canned. Yogurt, cheese, ice cream are most loved by them. As known, pork and its by products like bacon, ham and sausages are are not permitted.

In the case of drinks, only those that are not processed containing alcohol are consumable. The reason is that, alcohol for the Muslims is intoxicated. This fact is unlawful for them. But, there are also cases that drinks are prepared without the presence of alcohol, but still it is dangerous for them.

Muslims are becoming vegetarians just to ensure that what they are eating are permissible by law. There are numerous numbers of Muslim people all over the wold. And because of this, many of products are lavishing in supply and demands. In fact, even the non Muslims are also patronizing these goods. Due to this, the rise of Halal companies are expanding.

Generally, ensuring whether the goods are certified can make you feel doubtful at times. Because labels do not always say halal. For non Muslims, better familiarize with yourself the Arabic lettering for it. So in order to make sure that what you are buying has a valid certificate, you may request a copy of its certificate from the product manufacturer or refer to the Islamic body which certifies the product for confirmation.

You are what you eat. This phrase also applies in the Muslim belief. To eat to live and not to live to eat. But what they are emphasizing is that, you should eat moderately having the rightful kinds of foods in accordance to what God has advised to eat. If a Muslim person may purposely eat foods that are non allowable, he will be condemned bu not following what God has taught to him.

Purchasing Halal MRE is best suggested. This has been developed in order to give the best nourishment to everyone especially those who are using widely their strengths like those in combats. In fact, this is their preferred production of their meals even before.
