Jamia Binoria announced Binoria Shariah Board for Halal Food Monitoring in Pakistan

A meeting was convened in Jamia Binoria International, 3 years ago, to discuss many problems which are faced by those who travel abroad. It was revealed that in many countries, above all, the consumption of food items remained the main issue. And in most countries the religious segment of the community were so worried about consumable items that they had established their own Boards to investigate into and issue Certificates of Halal or Haram on whatever items produced in their respective countries. Necessity of such a step has been very badly felt in Pakistan as well, since many food items are imported from various foreign countries. Consuming of such food items blindly by the muslim community has become a matter of grave concern. Islam is a natural religion (Deen of Fithrath). Islam has given guidance in every faculty of life to its followers. It has prescribed principles and etiquettes with regards eating and drinking too. And, Prophet Muhammad -peace be upon him- practiced upon them and presented a model. Consumption of Haram is prohibited in Quran and Hadees while it is encouraged to consume Halal and pure things and to be grateful.

Inasmuch as consuming Haram foods cause to create immorality and mean behavior and loss of interest in doing ibadath in oneself and non-acceptance of dua Similarly consumption of Halal foods becomes a cause to create Noor (illumination) in the heart, to detest against immorality and bad character and liking and inclination towards excellent and pleasing behavior, attraction and fondness towards ibadath and acceptance of duas. Hence Allah Tha'la says
‘...EAT OF THE GOOD THINGS WHEREWITH WE HAVE PROVIDED YOU...'(1:172)

A great portion of Quran, Hadees and Islamic Teachings emphasize Ummah to refrain from Haram foods and adopt Halaal foods. As such it is incumbent on every Muslim to be cautious in using only Halal and refrain from Haram. Therefore, it is far more important to have a complete understanding and an insight on Halal and Haram, else, it would not be possible to abstain from Haram and adopt Halal.
