Consuming halal is crucial for the Muslim as it affords him benefits both in this temporary world and in the everlasting hereafter.

There was a time when it was considered more of a burden to supply halal, but not anymore! Now, halal foods have become a lucrative market and, inherently, where money can be made, there will always be those who will try to make a quick buck at the expense of some unwitting victims.

Sometimes, the consumer is the victim, whereas in other times, it may be the restaurant, believeing that they are supplying halal meat to their loyal customers.

Whatever the case may be, there is a need to remain informed as to the source of the food that we consume to ensure that it is indeed pure, that it is halal.
