The HALAL logo confirms that the product is permissible for Muslims to use. This often concerns food, though various objects and phenomena can be halal, including cosmetics, clothing, entertainment, and services. The emblem has a religious connotation, but it is not obvious and is understandable only to Muslims.
Meaning and History
The term originates from the Koran. The word h-l-l personifies something legal that a believer is allowed to do. There is also an antonym of “prohibition” in the Holy Scriptures: haram. The use of terms underlies the regulation of Muslim behavior. Gradually, halal began to be used specifically for food products, dividing food into halal and impure (forbidden).
The logo is executed on a white background in green letters or on a green background in white. Both options are used.
What is HALAL?
An Islamic religious term meaning everything permitted to Muslims. The term corresponds to the sign applied to goods and products in whose manufacture the requirements of the Koran are observed.
The round emblem resembles a seal and indicates that meat or sausage is available. The circle is associated with completeness and the ideal. Halal food corresponds to kosher food for Jews. It is considered cleaner and safer, ideal for health.
Animals must be slaughtered so that no blood is left in them; food is cooked in specially processed dishes, etc. It protects against germs and diseases. The circle demonstrates that all the rules have been followed, from growing and slaughtering to cooking and serving. The cycle is correct.
The logo has a border. It demonstrates limits and rules. This frame separates halal products from anything impure. There are no prohibited components in food and cosmetics inside the frame.
The emblem contains an inscription in Arabic script, “حلال,” and in English, “HALAL”. Both words have the same meaning. Double writing is done for convenience. In Arabic, it is understandable to the people of the East, and in English, to residents of other countries (converted Muslims, exporters, sellers). This is one way of preaching. A person will see the seal, read it, and become interested in the products. You can tell him about faith.
The enterprise applies the logo to products only with the permission of the region’s religious leader.
