Halal refers to that which Allah and His Messenger, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, have made lawful. Its opposite, Haram, refers to what is forbidden.

These parameters have been designed by the Creator for the health, safety and benefit of all human creatures.

The Qur’an states, “Oh mankind! Eat that which is halal and wholesome on the earth,” clearly indicating that this is an instruction to all of mankind.

The realm of the Halal extends beyond the obvious references 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 judgements of halal and haram.

These parameters include protecting the environment, humane treatment of animals, ethical investment, the intrinsic value of currencies, and justice in all commercial transactions.

We believe that the emerging global halal market will be one of the great market forces in the coming decades. With numbers reaching a quarter of the world’s population – and growing daily – this is a market no one can afford to ignore.
