      In the Quran, the holy book and guide for all Muslims, there exists verses that call for Muslims to seek provisions that are ‘halalan toyibban’. The English equivalent for this phrase would mean lawful and wholesome. Therefore, halal is actually about everything from the food we consume to the businesses we conduct to the transactions we perform in our daily lives. Halal is an all encompassing concept which encourages a Muslim to seek and use products, ventures and services that promote cleanliness in all aspects of a person’s – that a product or service is safe for consumption, produced in a clean environment and health.

      Hence, Halal certified products or services can provides assurance to all Muslim consumers on the Halal status of the certified products through labelling of the Halal logo. Halal Certification is recognition that the products are permissible under Islamic Law. To the non-Muslims, Halal products are quality products.
