I've been a Malaysian for 24 years now and I didn't even know Halal Magazine existed till I read a specific article in Time magazine that specified much on 'halal'.
I was curious, googled it and guess what I found? It exists!!! It's a journal sort of magazine called Halal Journal. It contains of topics related to the Halal and Muslim markets worldwide which is distributed to 57 countries, amazingly!!! And it's only RM9.90, what a cheap price.
You must be wondering, what is halal?It is about everything from the food Muslims consume to the businesses they conduct to the transactions we perform in their daily lives. Muslims have a responsibility to ensure that what they practice and consume is clean, hygienic and not detrimental to either their health or well-being. 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. That is the reason why Muslims do not eat pork cause pigs are swines and dirty.
Islam is popular, more like a celebrity issue. I'm not against it or anything. I just find it amazing, it has brought great shock to my very nerves. To think that an Islamic magazine could be distributed to 57 different countries and that it exists without my knowledge. I'm a magazine freak, how could I let that slip off my eyes?!
The halal thing is growing. In 5 years, halal food would be known in every country, or so I assume?! Then, the Muslims won't have to worry what is added into the food that they order. It is a hassle to ask every waiter who serves them to remove the pork since they aren't allowed to eat any pork.
Time will tell. It's too early to say. The westerners love meat. But with swine flu going on, I doubt that pork would be on their top list for meals.
