Introduction

The Arabic word Halal means permissible in English. Though the word Halal in general, is used in the context of consumables or products used by the Muslims, it has a wide range of connotations–from inter human relationship to clothing manners and social behavior, from trade, business and financial transactions, to investments and property management or any other which is parallel to guidance specified by Islam. In other words, Halal is a standard which covers every facet of a Muslim life.

Objective

This is an effort with a clear objective of to bring together buyers and traders from the Halal industry around the world by creating an interactive platform for ‘International Halal Products industry’.
