What is World Halal Day?

World Halal Day is a unified day of action to celebrate and support Halal around the world.

What is World Halal Standards Day?

SMIIC has officially designated 17 May as World Halal Standards Day, marking the anniversary of the first adoption of OIC/SMIIC halal standards on 17 May 2011 in Yaoundé, Cameroon.

Why is this day ?

Because the first verse on halal, the 69th verse of Surat al-Anfal was revealed on the 17th day of Ramadan in 624 Hijri, in the Battle of Badr, the first battle between Islam and disbelief. Well, what does our Lord say in the verse?
“So consume what you have taken of war booty [as being] lawful and good, and fear Allah. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.” Verse 69 of Surah Al-Anfal (8:69)

What is the aim of World Halal Day?

World Halal Day will be celebrated to increase awareness and understanding of Halal. It will also help unify efforts of individuals and public to come together and exchange experience and information, without intervention of politics and other affects that cause separation between Muslims.
Man is formed by what he eats. This means there is a direct relation between the body and the spirit and what the person is nurtured with. If one eats Halal and Tayyib, his body and spirit will be healthy, both physically and mentally. If we want Tayyib (good, nice), we have to be careful to earn from Halal way and eat and consume Halal and Tayyib products. May Allah shower His blessings on us.
