Overview

Halal is an Arabic word which is used to refer to things which Allah has made lawful.

Its opposite, Haram, refers to what is forbidden. These parameters have been designed

for the health, safety and benefit of all mankind regardless of age, faith or culture.

The realm of the Halal extends beyond the obvious reference to food and touches

on all matters that relate to human life.
In the commercial arena, all goods and services, markets, transactions, currencies and

other activities come under the judgments of Halal and Haram.
These parameters include protecting the environment, humane treatment of animals,

ethical investment, the intrinsic value of currencies and fairness in all commercial

transactions.

It is no doubt that the emerging global Halal market will be one of the great
market forces in the coming decades. It is as such of great importance that the Muslim

ummah is Halal active. "HalalActiv" is an action group project of Iqra Islamic Trust

that seeks to make available general information related to Halal. These would be in

the form of campaigns, multimedia presentations and symposiums.

Meat Industry

An investigation into Fijis halal meat industry revealed several facts which violates the Shariah,  Our findings along these lines has led us to conclude that we do not endorse any commercially available Halal meat products in Fiji as genuine halal because of various contemporary issues and a huge element of doubt that suurounds it. Below is our published works and a collection of fatwa from some of the highest scholary sources

Halal Alert

Given the complexities surrounding how processed foods are manufactured, the process of supervising and announcing whether a certain processed food is halal or otherwise can only be done by qualified food technologists.  We recommend that whenever a muslim consumer buys a food product from the supermarket, that he or she should first look for halal certified logo on it, if the logo is present and is from a reputable certifying authority, it is safe to purchase the product.  In the case where there is no logo, we recommend that alternative halal brands are sought.  If no alternative is available and there is a genuine need to purchase this item, it is important that extensive research is done on individual ingredients found in this product before a decision is made and taqwa in cases of doubt is best.  HalalActiv recommends that muslims refer to Muslim Consumer Group website as it has the most reputable information on food ingredients and the organization is managed by food specialists.
