Mufti Abdullah Nana speaks on the importance of halal food here in America and a new initiative that is underway to ensure 100% halal meat and food products. I cannot stress enough the importance of this effort so PLEASE make time to watch this as being aware is the least we can do. Issues such as is zabihah.com really zabihah? And do those stamps of 'halal' really mean anything? are addressed. , over 80-90% of Muslim restaurants here in the States serve non-zabihah chicken; yes, the ones we eat at! Unfortunately, this is the sad reality of our situation but a group of `ulema and brothers are setting out to change it, .

May Allah lengthen Mufti Sahib's life.

I'm so glad some real qualified people are finally addressing this issue. So sad that most Muslims don't even care about this. I'll do everything I can to support this effort, inshallah. I remember a couple of years ago I was thinking that I should start something like this, after I got my studies done. But this is excellent news.

Funny thing is, halal certifying agencies, like IFANCA, get really angered when the ulama get involved. For example, IFANCA still certifies al-Safa as halal even though Mufti Abdullah Nana had found that al-Safa had switched to machine slaughter early this year. IFANCA, instead of revisiting its certification policy, attacked those who found out it was machine slaughter. This was extremely dishonest of IFANCA and I cannot trust them with anything anymore.

May Allah reward Mufti Abdullah Nana and everyone else for all their efforts. We in the US are truly decades behind our brothers and sisters in the UK and South Africa when it comes to readily available halal food.

Al-Safa is now owned by a Muslim Pakistani Company but to save money they are providing machine slaughetred chicken and also described how they machine slaughtered their chicken on their website. On the other hand in same town Toronto 8 Muslim owners of Popye Chicken are fighting corporate Popye Company in court to keep hand slaughtering for their francise. See the difference of Taqwa between these two groups of Muslims. The Muslim owners said that the main reason of their sucess is "HAND SLAUGHTERING" which majority of Toronto Muslims want it.

Zabiha Halal certification is a very tough business and it is a trust business. There are many Allah fearing and honest Zabiha Halal certifiers and there are also crooks. MCG is not in Zabiha Halal certification because it requires a lot of work to make sure Muslim consumers are getting real zabiha meat. MCG is in non meat Halal certification business but we do not Halal certify anything if it contains alcohol.

JAZAKALLAH KHAIRAN KATSEERAN!!!

I am not from the States, but this jihaad to provide Halal Tayyib food is being waged everywhere. USA, UK, S Africa, Singapore etc...

May Allah ta'aala grant us ability to practice his complete Deen (and Halal food is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT component of Islam) and expose and destroy the evil plots of the hypocrites who try to "Halaalize" kuffaar slaughtering techniques.

Ameen.

Mufti Abdullah Nana sahib (db) is a great blessing to the Muslims of this country. From his relentless efforts and long study and struggle, awareness is growing in the Muslims in this country about zabiha halaal and haraam. I was very happy that from the efforts of HalaalAdvocates that in the entire city and suburbs of Chicago of all the countless restaurants we have that finally we now have 1 restaurant certified for zabiha halaal Alhamdulillah. More to follow insha'Allah! We have to get behind such efforts and when we go to the meat stores and restaurants we should demand from them to carry the certification from organizations such as Halaaladvocates, such as Shariahboard, or we walk out, no business. We as a community have to unite for this. Allah swt will open the way.

Jazakallah for your relentless efforts for this cause. It is a long study, struggle and hardwork to bring halaal products on the table of Muslims. From your work Allah swt has given awareness of halaal/haraam to many people and continues to do so. I make dua your work continues and expands. Allah swt make it easy, ameen.

Assalam O Alaikum Brother FususAlHikam,

Thanks for your dua and very kind words. I am very worried about attending any wedding, Haqiqa or Walima now a days in Chicago because catering suppliers are buying meat specillay chicken from Restaurant Depot. I got a call from a brother around MSI to do someting because a famous catering suppliers is buying chicken from Restaurant Depot. I told brother of the catering suppliers not buy chicken from Restaurant Depot. One sister told me how to avoid going to her friend house when she knew that the family buy meat from Restuarant Depot in Lombard, IL. The Restuarnt Depot carries only machine slaughtered chicken with a Halal certificate.

I am not aware of Halaladvocate certified restuarant but I know Sabri Nihari in Lombard has a certificate from Sharia board.

I pray to Allah to give toufiq to those catering brothers in Chicago.

Best option here is to get live poultry and watching the guy doing zubha before your eyes or do it yourself and go to farm once every couple months and do zubha yourself, bring meat to meat store and have them cut it up.
