What is Halal?
Halal is an Islamic dietary law meaning “permitted” or “lawful.” Food, products, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and more may be deemed Halal based on the type of product, as well as how the product is prepared. Halal products show a commitment to the ethical sourcing and treatment of animals and other living things. Muslims consider Halal living as a way to uplift their culture, beliefs, and identity, as well as a healthy lifestyle choice.
The Halal market is huge and fast-growing. Muslims are expected to account for almost 1/3 of the global human population in the coming years, according to the Halal Foundation. Muslims are rapidly immigrating to countries all over the world. This means that there will be a related, fast-growing global market for these products.
Food and Products
Halal isn’t just meat and poultry anymore. HRG offers Halal certification for meats and products; we also offer Halal food preparation services, a Halal distributor network, and more. Want to discuss your institution’s Halal needs? We offer cultural competency and sensitivity training to organizations looking to expand accommodations for Muslim clients and colleagues worldwide.
Arts and Culture
Looking to curate an exhibit or program that will reflect the rich culture of Muslims at home and abroad? HRG can help! We offer cultural competency consultations that can provide you with important information, resources, and contacts to make your event a success.
Healthcare
Muslims are very diverse, with varied and unique healthcare needs based on their ethnic and social backgrounds. HRG offers cultural sensitivity trainings for hospitals, medical offices, and more to ensure that professionals can expertly engage with and provide for Muslim patients.
