With the rise of halal-certified food, Zabihah offers the world’s largest guide to halal restaurants and markets.
Since 1998, Zabihah has grown from a regional guide to halal food in California’s Silicon Valley to the world’s largest guide to halal restaurants and products, and is an established leader in the global Halal revolution.
With the growth of the Muslim consumer market, there is a need to understand the terms used to describe the many services, needs, and practices related to this segment of consumers. Understanding these concepts, terms, and definitions will help stakeholders to navigate the segment better. One of the most important terms to grasp is “Halal,” an Arabic term that holds deep significance in the Islamic faith.
Halal food is any food deemed permissible under Islamic law, as defined in the Quran. The Islamic dietary laws specify that all food and beverages are considered Halal unless explicitly stated as forbidden. These laws guide Muslims around the globe in identifying what foods are Halal, thus fulfilling their dietary requirements in accordance with Islamic teachings.
“Halal food is more than just an article of faith, it is an exciting cultural medium that allows humanity to see Islamic values in action”
