Dear brothers:brother: and sisters:sister:

I am trying to get some halal food in my school, I go to a college in Toronto Canada… any one have a idea in how I could do this … please help us

jazakaallahu kheran.

salam sister,

i think u should get ppl to sign a petition and take it to the deen

salam

Nah, thats too extreme. Go to the Principal and explain your situation. Figure out how to tackle the situation together. If they say they cant due to financial things to consider, accept it, and maybe you can raise funds at your local mosque or something. But if he is unreasonable and gives unreaonsable statements as to why he cant cater for your halal needs, then you can sign a petition. Signing petitions is the last resort, because they are kind of a serious statement.

ya i think u r right...i will try to do that jazakuallah kharen...

I think the petition is a good, idea... The more people who agree the more confidence the Principal will have to enforce the request.

Just curious what College is that? ...Seneca?

Wa-Salam.

if you have a school council why dont you try approaching the council rep of your year or form or however it is done....

Salaam

Isn't this just a basic right

i think it depends on the amount of muslim pupils attending a school...im not sure correct me if im wrong...i mean when i went to high school...it wasnt an islamic school but we had a large number of muslim students..so much so that school was closed during the two days of eid....and also the meat was all halal....with the exception of the hamburgers and pork dishes...and there were different sets of cultery and dishes for the halal and non halal food...

dont you have MSA? muslim student association? we have it like in all our colleges and universities

It should be a basic right, but unfortunately I live in a non Islamic country and go to a non Islamic college so we have to try to find ways we could bring halal food…they just don’t bring it…

ya we have an MSA

Hey salamu alaykum, keep trying we need more options insha allah

then bring it up in the msa meetings...thats a no-brainer then msa an help organize a petition and do something about it
