Knowing What Halal Is From Muslims Perspective

By Chasity Sheppard


Halal MRE refers to foods and beverages that are processed under the so called Islamic practices. As defined, it is a practice that is permissible following the Muslims belief. Typically, these foods are consumable for long duration of time. These are the ready to eat meals.

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.

Foods that come from the meat of chicken, cattle, sheep, are to be butchered solely by the Muslim people. During the act of butchering, they are saying a short prayer. Using a pointed knife is a must. Reasons like, for quicker death and thorough outflow of blood are reiterated in the practice. For the case of the fish and other aquatic animals, this practice may not be applied because they just die when they move out from the water and do not contain blood that much.

Breads, cereals, baked goods and other products made from grains are of no problem. The same thing goes with the vegetables, either in raw, frozen, dried, or canned, all are accepted. They like cheese, yogurt, ice cream very much. Sausages, bacon, ham that are by products of pork are prohibited.

Any drinks can be drank as long as they are not made the same way as liquors do. It has been strongly described that whether the production process contained a little alcohol or is distilled, it is not allowed to drink. Alcohol was derived from liquor production process and is known to be against their teachings. Though it is also possible to have it prepared from a non liquor production, it is still undrinkable because it is poisonous and harmful for them.

Sometimes, it is so hard to determine whether the foods are certifiably halal. This is one of the reasons why most of the Muslims preferred eating vegetables. But even though, many manufacturing companies are booming world wide. Indeed, not only Muslim people are embracing this product. As introduced worldwide, people from other religions are availing these goods too. These is also due to the increasing population of Muslims all over the world.

If you want to ensure whether the products that you are buying is certified, you may try to demand for a copy of its certification and contact the manufacturer of the product from the Islamic body or else, check the labels and if there is no such word, better familiarize its Arabic symbol.

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.

Consuming Halal MRE caters the individuals taste preferences before and now. It is constantly developing to give the best nutrition to everyone. Surely, this is truly certified.
