HaDis RiwAyaT BukhAri..

“Saya mendengar Rasulullah saw. bersabda, ‘Yang halal itu jelas dan yang haram itu jelas, dan di antara keduanya terdapat hal-hal musyabbihat (syubhat / samar, tidak jelas halal-haramnya), yang tidak diketahui oleh kebanyakan manusia. Barangsiapa yang menjaga hal-hal musyabbihat, maka ia telah membersihkan kehormatan dan agamanya. Dan, barangsiapa yang terjerumus dalam syubhat, maka ia seperti penggembala di sekitar tanah larangan, hampir-hampir ia terjerumus ke dalamnya. Ketahuilah bahwa setiap raja mempunyai tanah larangan, dan ketahuilah sesungguhnya tanah larangan Allah adalah hal-hal yang diharamkan-Nya. Ketahuilah bahwa di dalam tubuh ada sekerat daging. Apabila daging itu baik, maka seluruh tubuh itu baik; dan apabila sekerat daging itu rosak, maka seluruh tubuh itu pun rosak. Ketahuilah, dia itu adalah hati.’” (HR. Bukhari)

Disini kita dapat lihat betapa pentingnya makanan yang halal,kerana setiap makanan yang kita makan itu akan menjadi darah daging yang akan sentiasa kita bawa.Oleh itu,saya ingin menyeru kepada semua pembaca blog ini supaya berhati-hati dan sentiasa berwaspada terhadap makanan yang kita makan serta memilih restoran yang terjaga kesahihan halalnya..

SijiL haLaL di PhotOsTaT..WajaR ke?

Ini adalah sijil halal yang diletakkan didepan gerai nasi ayam di gerai-gerai makan di tesco.Dengar kata nasi ayam yang dia buat sangat sedap.aku pun pergi kesana dan cuba makan kat sana dengan rakan-rakan aku.Sekali tgok yang memasaknya adalah dari golongan cina,tapi disebabkan tanda halal yang ada dekat situ,aku pun memakannya..

Tapi rasa pelik jugak,sebab sijil halal yang dia tampal yang photostat puyer,rasa-rasa dia punyer sijil halal betul ke tak..aku ni agak rabun sikit.so, aku macam tak nampak sangat apa yang dia tulis kat situ.yang agak peliknya,sebelah kedai dia adalah pembuat mee sizzling..Aku tahu ramai yang suka makan mee tu kan..Sebab kawan aku,kalau pegi foodcourt je mesti nak makan mee sizzling..Rupa-rupanya mereka satu kedai,dia kongsi kaunter duit yang sama..

Kedua-dua gerai tu daripada golongan cina..aku tak pasti yang mereka adalah orang luar atau orang malaysia.Sebelum ni,ada aku dengar cerita yang ada gerai yang berkongsi satu sijil dengan photostat dan tampal dekat gerai masing-masing..Hmmm aku bukan nak buat cerita tapi kedai kat tesco ni,aku tak siasat lagi lebih lanjut sebab aku mengejar masa yang amat pantas berlalu..hahaha...

Aku sempat tangkap gambar dan makan sahaja dekat sana.Takpe-takpe nanti kalau aku pegi kat sana lagi aku akan menemuramah mereka ya!!!

nak tunjuk gambar yang ada dua sijil halal yang di photostat pulak..:

jalan-jalan cari makan situ sana sini...

### sedih ###

dimanakah aku mahu makan?
tertanya-tanya mahu mencari tempat makan yang HALAL lagi TOIYIBA....
aku terus mencari,mencari dan terus mencari kemanakah arah tuju yang harus aku tuju untuk mencari tempat persinggahan untuk mengisi perut ku yang sudah bersiap sedia menyanyi lagu keroncong.....argh!!!!sangat sedih mikir kerana aku lihat kiri dan kanan ku tiada sebuah restoran pun yang aku mahu singgah kerana aku tidak berkeyakinan untuk makan di situ....hukhukhuk!!!

aku terus mencari lagi sampai aku terjumpa satu tempat yang ramai orang berkunjung ke situ untuk menyantap makanan dengan penuh berselera serta tanpa ragu-ragu....aku kenal restoran-restoran itu kerana restoran itu sangatlah terkenal di Malaysia iaitu KFC, McDonald, Burger King, Starbucks, Pizza Hut
dan sebagainya....ish3!!!!boleh dikatakan kesemua restoran itu merupakan restoran yang di asaskan oleh mereka yang bukan islam dan yang paling penting ialah ia merupakan produk ISRAEL dan US. anda tahu apa itu? ya....apabila kita menggunakan produk keluaran ISRAEL dan US sudah tentu kita ini merupakan antara mereka yang menyokong penindasan terhadap umat islam di dunia terutamanya di PALESTIN....mahu tahu lagi, membeli produk US dan ISRAEL sama seperti kita menyokong kekejaman YAHUDI terhadap umat islam jadi kita harus BOIKOT.BOIKOT,BOIKOT semua itu....


aku teruskan bercerita.....(~_^)
sedang aku melihat karenah-karenah mereka makan,tiba-tiba aku terpandang sebuah restoran yang sejuk mata memandang dengan warna merah kesukaanku....


### senyum lebar ###

dalam hati aku berbisik wow!!!!wow!!!wow!!!
rupa-rupanya ada restoran di Malysia ini yang memang seratus peratus HALAL dan TANPA RAGU-RAGU aku melangkah kaki aku menuju ke arah restoran itu untuk mengisi perut aku yang semakin kuat keroncongnya.....

nak tahu tak.....???
restoran yang aku tujui itu adalah salah satu restoran yang dimiliki oleh seratus peratus orang islam, melayu, dan yang paling penting ialah ia keluaran bumiputera dan bukanlah produk US dan ISRAEL yang kita harus boikot!!!!

hahaha.....
seronok aku makan di restoran itu tanpa was-was....

pasti anda semua mahu tahu restoran apa yang aku enak menjamu selera itu kan...????
susah tentula RADIX FRIED CHICKEN(RFC).....tidak perlu lagi kita makan di KFC kerana di restoran ini ada menyediakan pelbagai makanan seperti selera yang ada di KFC....hakhakhak!!!!ayam gorengnye sangatla organik kerana ayam yang digunakan merupakan ayam organik…hihi….
jangan risau selepas ini pasti anda boleh merasai makanan yang ada di RFC kerana ia akan terus berkembang untuk membantu umat islam yang di tindas oleh YAHUDI.....

jadi sokonglah barangan keluaran MALAYSIA dan juga PRODUK MUSLIM YANG 100% HALAL....
jadi apa yang penting TERUSKAN MEMBOIKOT BARANGAN ISRAEL DAN US....
serta selamat menjamu selera di RFC....(^.^)

#BrAin WaSh..#


Sedang kita berjalan-jalan di kaki lima,sekali ternampak satu masakan yang sangat sedap seperti ini:




Perut kita mula rasa tak tentu arah,kalau boleh dia pun nak ternganga sekali akibat terasa lapar yang teramat cangat..


Kita pun mempercepatkan langkah serta mencari restoran atau kedai yang berkenaan untuk mendapatkan apa yang perut mahukan...



Hati tidak langsung kisah tentang halal atau tidak gerai itu????patutkah?



Yang kita tahu,hanya ikutkan kata perut tanpa mengisahkan kehalallan sesebuah gerai itu dan terus memakannya...




Adakah kamu semua sedar bahawa halal itu amat penting serta memberikan kesan pada hidup kamu kelak..Jadi ,kita seharusnya perlu berhati-hati dan peka terhadap isu-isu yang berkaitan tentang halal.Lebih-lebih lagi di restoran atau gerai ditepi jalan.

pig intestines sausages ? Sushi King haram ???

i was reading through some random websites and blogs when i stumble upon an article. The article dated back to March 17, 2005 and it was a media statement made by the Angkatan Muda Malaysia regarding halal&haram issues in Malaysia. They asked the government to actually removed all products in which their halal labels validness are doubted. During this time, the most controversial issue regarding halal food was about the distribution of "halal" labelled sausages that used pig intestines as the sausage's cover.

According to a report by Persatuan Pengguna Islam Malaysia(PPIM) and a few other related agencies, they had ambushed a sausage processing centre in Selayang and they themselves were stunned by their discoveries. The process of making sausages in that centre involved pig intestines.

Pig intestines or not, the factories still distributed them to the markets and i'm guessing it was real clear that they don't really care about the senstivity of the majority Muslims in this country.

After that, the PPIM through the media had listed 6 sausage brands that have been identified contains pig intestines. The 6 brands were...Gourmessa, Muller's Haus, Dew Fresh, Puteri, Miami Butcher House and Maspac. Moreover, most of this sausage brands were distributed high-class hotels in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. Few of the factories that distributed these sausages are Deluxe Food Services Sdn Bhd di Shah Alam (Gourmessa), German Delicatessen - Subang (Muller's Haus dan Dew Fresh), Puteri Pan Pacific(Puteri), Miami Butcher House - Batu Feringgi (Miami Butcher House), Omcorp Sdn Bhd - Bukit Angkat Kajang (Dew Fresh) and Pacific Refgerating Sdn Bhd (Maspac).

Note this one my friend...few of the hotels and restaurants that their sausages are doubted are Palace of Golden Horses, Coffee Bean Tea Leaf, Hotel Equatorial, Ikea Cafe, and Muller Sousage.

The PPIM was very strict and straigt-to-the-point about this. And i have to say that the Malaysian government should focused more on this kind of problems considering the fact that Muslims is the majority in Malaysia. The fact that the Malaysian government is not taking this seriously can be seen through JAKIM where there are only 6 officers working to prepare halal logos throughout Malaysia.

As for the title itself...im not sure whether it's true or not. But it is said that the sushis are dipped into 0.01% alcohol so that it could last longer and that is the reason why JAKIM didn't awarded them with halal logo. Plus Sushi King does serve beers to its customers right ?? I'm not so sure about this.. don't worry.. we'll go to the nearest Sushi King and ask for conformation as soon as possible. hope you guys get something from this post.....i know i do..haha~

p/s: have a nice day !!

thinking,thinking n thinking!!!

For Muslims, the question of allowed (halal) and forbidden (haram) is
a matter of principle. And the principle carries a consequence for
Muslim's life both in the world and hereafter. Therefore, the
inclusion of halal principle in the Foodstuffs Law is commended.

On later application, as revealed by Minister for Food Affairs Ibrahim
Hasan, halal food and beverages products will be labelled. Until now,
only composition and expiration dates are marked or labelled on the
products.

The general public has become aware of the usefulness of expiration
date mark -- which signifies the quality of the products and their
effect on health. But only a small number of consumers understands the
composition of materials which make the products. Whereas this
composition is important to human body. Not to mention that among the
composition, haram materials may have been used.

The plan to obligate producers to put on halal labels on their
products will help Muslims in observing their religious law. Consumers
will no longer be trapped in eating or drinking haram stuffs, because
they can pick products based on the label.

We do not want a case such as the pork fat case which happened and
shocked the public a few years ago, to happen again. Such incident is
not only causing public anxiety, but also doing harm to the other
producers. Halal labelling, therefore, will avoid unnecessary social
unrest.

This is indeed a problematic matter, especially for producers who have
been including haram materials in their products. But it would not
cause any problem should the producers have not done so in the first
place. And this should be deemed as discriminating people of other
faiths, since they can choose other products.

In other countries, such as Malaysia, halal labelling has become a
law. Strong public demand has compelled its government to set up the
regulation and hence protect the public.

In the United States where the issue of halal-haram does not matter
much, pious Muslims usually pick products based on their composition.
They scrutinize the composition to check whether haram components have
been included. Such practice needs patience and care. For Indonesia,
the Malaysian example could be the referrence.

What also need to be determined are the criteria and mechanism to
assess whether or not a product is halal, institution or agency
authorized to issue halal labels, and persons involved in the agency.
Transparent assessment should be better for us all.

The labelling also provides a promotional means for producers to their
Muslim consumers. But instead of being cynical we ought to see this
positively. The labelling will create a competition among the
producers to produce halal products. If the products are not halal,
then the public will refuse to buy....(^^,)

Be careful in chOosing RestaUrant..

waaaahhhh...very2 tired..huhuhu..
but second post about halal labels must do today..Orite,just you all imaging about all restaurant at malaysia..Nowadays,thats not all rstaurant were concern to put halal label at their restaurant..hmm,i want to share with you about article just I read right now..about this title:'Be Careful In Choosing Restaurants, Muslims Told'..This article told about the situation of people choose their food in halal or not..Let's check it out this article....

Be Careful In Choosing Restaurants, Muslims Told
By Bru Direct
Oct 04, 2007, 11:14
Various kinds of restaurants have established themselves in the country.
Ranging from local to international cuisines and to chain of fast foods restaurants, consumers these days are being offered more choices.
Bruneians, comprisingly mostly of Muslims, were not keen to test their taste buds on different kinds of dishes.

Some people were not able to do this due to their consciousness about the food, doubting if it’s halal or not.

The Brunei Times interviewed an official from the 'Kawalan Makanan Halal' Section, under the Syariah Affairs Department, to clarify this matter from the Islamic perspective.

"The two most important things that a Muslim should consider is that the cook is a Muslim and the sources of the ingredients, as well as the meat, come from reliable sources that abide by the halal norms, such as the way the chicken is slaughtered should be according to the Islamic law and the food prepared as demanded by the law," said Zurina Salwa Hj Osman.

Zurina Salwa said that the authorities from the 'Kawalan Makanan Halal' section, under the Syariah Affairs Department, always hold regular series of inspections of the eating establishments throughout the country to determine whether food sold there is halal or not.

However, so far, the act for the halal certificate and the labels (Perintah Sijil Halal dan Label Halal) that they currently operate do not cover the complete range of meat products. Because only fresh meat is considered under this act.
"There would be a new act, known as the 'Perintah Sijil Halal dan Label Halal 2005' which would cover a lot more, including all the ingredients that they use, the utensils, and any processed and canned foods that they use, and by that time, actions can be taken," Zurina Salwa further explained.

She went on to reveal that this new act is scheduled to be enforced by October this year.

Prior to the enforcement of this act, the Ministry of Religious Affairs had organised a series of roadshows to the four districts last year, such as the one at the Seri Begawan Religious Teachers University College, in Jalan Tutong.
The main objective of these roadshows was to introduce the act, especially to restaurants owners and to food processing companies.

I Lotus, a restaurant serving Thai dishes, as well as Chinese and local cuisines is accredited as a halal restaurant, as it has Muslim and non-Muslim chefs.
Owned by a Muslim local, the manager of the restaurant, who did not want to be named, said authorities from the Syariah Department had inspected their premises and declared the food, as well as their preparation and ingredients, as halal.
Another restaurant manager The Brunei Times spoke to said that they had put up the "Bukan Untuk Makanan Orang Islam" or "Not for Consumption by Muslims". However, one of the partners who also did not want to be named said that there are Muslims eating at their restaurant.

"All the ingredients used are halal, but the chef is not a Muslim," he said.
Zurina Salwa, explained that, in these cases, in which only one of the two requirements are fulfilled, it is considered to be "syubahah" which means, unclear whether the food is completely halal or haram.
"For those still in doubt about this matter, it is better not to eat at these establishments."

She further advised Muslims to be careful in choosing their food, and to always ensure that the sources are halal.
"If there is a 'Bukan Untuk Makanan Orang lslam' sign, it is better to leave and choose other places that do not have this sign," she cautioned.
