Halal Food...Boleh ambil remeh ke??

"O mankind! Eat of that which is lawful and wholesome in the Earth, and follow not the foot-steps of the devil. Lo! he is an open enemy for you." (2:168)


Salam to all my dear readers and happy weekend...
First and foremost,let us start by something important to ponder.Lately,I felt uneasy with the so -called status of HALAL food in Malaysia.Having said,we are not yet at the safety zone to have Halal food in our country.Let's talk about the products at the market for instance,basically I feel it's hard to know what goes into the food we eat. For intance the Halal Logo,or food labeling most of the time helps, but not everything is listed, and what is listed is often a mystery.I believed most Muslims know to look out for pork, alcohol,gelatin and what not,but can we really differentiate whether or not the hidden meaning is something forbidden to eat?
What I mean is when the ingredients are disguised as something else? Most people would try their very best to fnd the term "pork","alcohol" and what not,however do they really care about the hidden ingredients that we ourselves do not understand the meaning?something modern terminology(term).
All we can do is to have some kind of awareness in us to try to goole some check list of Halal ingredients waht prohibited and what is permitted in Islam.I stringly believed that with this list in hand, it can be useful for Muslims to purify their food and eat only what Allah has permitted.ok?Something to ponder dear Muslims...
