First Practice of GIMDES in Halal Tourism: Halal and Tayyib Umrah Program

The first one was in 2013, “Would you like to come to the Holy Land with GIMDES for an Umrah worship called “Halalen Tayyiben”, which will be a first in the world?” We carried out an Umrah program with 50 brothers and sisters who responded positively to our call. When we saw interest, we organized 3 Umrah programs, including 2014.

Why did GIMDES think of organizing such a program in 2013-2014? We explained this in our first announcement as follows: “While performing the Umrah worship, which is of great importance for a Muslim within the halal life system, we must follow a nutrition program in accordance with Allah’s command of “Halal and Tayyib” regarding what we eat and drink.”

From departure to return home, all food and drinks, including the flight and the hotel where you will stay, will be under the control of GIMDES under HALAL and TAYYİB conditions. GİMDES carried out this program 3 times to set an example for these conditions. This application is to remind our brothers who will perform Umrah during these periods, the importance of carrying out the Halal and Tayyib Umrah programs, which also include the BOYCOTT that we continue on the products of Israel and the companies that declare their support for Israel due to the massacres they committed against our brothers in Gaza.

There will be no difficulty for our brothers in this practice. Airplanes are obliged to provide refreshments in accordance with the passenger’s wishes due to international agreements. They have to meet their requests when they make a request to the kitchens of the hotels where they will stay. It does not cause additional fatigue to either the passengers or the organizer company. As long as he notifies the authorities of his rightful request in a timely manner.
