Why the need for Halaal Certification?
ALLAH SUBAHANAHUWATAALA states in the Holy Quraan surah 2 v 168. “O people! Eat what is on earth, Lawful and Good.” Furthermore ALLAH says “Eat of the things which ALLAH has provided for you, Lawful and Good.” (surah 5 – v 88). These are direct orders from ALLAH. The consumption of Halaal Food is a fundamental aspect in any Muslim’s life. We will try to critically evaluate the concerns and scepticism of the Muslim Consumer today. After all, the consumption of Halaal or Haraam has a profound effect on a Muslim’s duahs. Understand, the Muslim consumer is faced with immense difficulty regarding choices in today’s world. The certification of Halaal products no longer refers to meat or ancillary products only, but to a host of other products covering franchise stores, pharmaceuticals, cosmetic products, ready to eat products, as well as a host of drinks, spices, sauces and condiments. Lately we have also seen a flood of financial, investment and insurance products with the attachment of Sharia or Halaal compliant tags.
Certified Products
Due to the changing market forces and regulations the NIHT has now extended its code of operation outside of the Meat Industry. The NIHT and the National Association of Muslim Meat Traders (NAMMTRA) assures the Muslim public that wherever you see the NIHT logo / certificate you can accept the product with full confidence in the knowledge that the highest Shariah standards have been employed in conjunction with the Ulama.
The following establishments have been certified Halaal by the NIHT (click the category to view the certified list).
