i found out recently my college actually has HALAL meat and chicken! And the college is over 95% non-muslims and only 1 muslim teacher! I was like when i found out...apparently, they do this coz it's cheaper to buy halal meat...of course pork/sausages r haram obviously

so ur school/college/uni/workplace serves halal food?

Assalamu alaikum,

Bro thats pretty amazing, our uni doesn't serve halal food, and this is one of the issues us muslim students are tackling. I'll be bringing it up at the next guild council meeting, and i'll be trying my best to get it implemented for next semester when the new first years come. I'm sick of having cheese sandwiches for lunch!

Asalamu Alaikum

Hey, they even selling Halal meat in Asda and Morrisons I heard.

Never liked school dinners or going to the shops. Power to the pack lunch'ers!

really? what about tesco..thats a gr8 news akhi..but some shops sell haram food tho even tho they have halal sign..so b careful

Assalamu alaikum,

Bro abdul is right, my local Asda sells halal meat and chicken. It's really convenient but we also go to the halal butchers to show our support for muslim businesses. Plus i secretly think the chicken is nicer from the butchers....its much more fresh!

Anyone have any advice on things i could say at the guild council meeting to push the "halal food on campus" motion?

Jazakumu Allahu Khair

depends on how much power u have...if u r uni representitive then yep it should be easy

Assalamo-alaikum-wa-rahmatullah-hey-wabarkatu

Mashallah that is good news people are starting to realise more and more about Halal and the need to cater ofr muslims - another good example is the Islamic Finance!

Assalamu alaikum,

Yep i am a guild rep so it shouldn't be too hard. There are a few other muslims on coucil who are obviously gonna back me up. I think i'll also push the "kosher food" for the JSOC aswell so that we can get a large number of people onside. Plus the muslim and jewish students make up a large proportion of students so collectively we should be able to win it. Then there are the socialists who pretty much back us in anything we do....so insha'Allah it'll be do-able.

Wa'alaikumu salam

Assalamu alaikum,

Next on the agenda....
1) New prayer room
2) No exams to coincide with Jumu'ah

Insha'Allah....

Oh...but it is...u see, I think its Bradford Uni who managed to have that motion passed at their guild council. They've set a precedent, and i'm going to pursue it until i leave uni if i have to.

islamic school, serves halal obviously you know occasionally we have barbecues at like last days of school days, its really wicked, tandoori chicken and barbecued meat and vegetables and all the students contribute its really wicked. But hey there is a really good side to not being served halal food, you would eat healthier, as in vegetables, they might taste like soil but they are good for you.

my ex-highschool used to serve a mixture of halaal food and haraam food.
90% were muslims so i guess it was only logical to serve halaal food

ya our skul serves like halal burgers ....but i dont buy ma lunch from skul coz i dont know if i can trust them or not innit....???
we've also got a classroom which we use to pray in and theyve got like prayer mats....they used to only let us use rooms in like ramadan but then i think the sixth formers or someone asked for us to hav a permenant room

no halal food in my school
