“Whenever someone is touched by hardship, they cry out to Us, whether lying on their side, sitting, or standing. But when We relieve their hardship, they return to their old ways as if they had never cried to Us to remove any hardship! This is how the misdeeds of the transgressors have been made appealing to them.” (Surah Yunus, Ayat 12)
Blessings for which we are not thanked are being taken away from us one by one. We were forced to go to mosques, we avoided Friday prayers, we avoided congregational prayers, we failed to appreciate their value and were unable to properly express our gratitude. We went to the Kaaba like tourists, and instead of circumambulating, we took pictures of the Kaaba from the top of our lungs. We disrespected the presence of our Prophet (peace be upon him). We thought that this era was always And so it will continue.
First, we must make the decision to return to Allah (swt), the Quran, and Islam. Then, we must ensure that the morsels we swallow without question every day are halal.
They must be responsible for redesigning all production resources, all production processes, and technologies. It is indispensable that every step of the process, from seed to embryo, from farm to table, be inspected with the Halal stamp. Today, humanity is under the threat of a massive corruption unprecedented in its history. Humanity is beginning to realize this disaster. However, the possibility of surviving this disaster without Islam is impossible.
The guarantee of a halal and healthy lifestyle for all humanity can only be achieved by implementing halal and righteous standards from embryo to seed. The verse in Allah’s (swt) final Book, addressed to all humanity, clearly declares this truth:
“O humanity! Eat from what is lawful and good on the earth and do not follow Satan’s footsteps. He is truly your sworn enemy.” (Surah Al-Baqarah, Ayat 168)
GIMDES has been striving to provide a practical service for 20 years to help us achieve this necessary Halal and Tayyib lifestyle. It tracks 20,000 different halal-certified products from approximately 500 companies both domestically and internationally.
Do not fear, do not worry, for Allah (swt) says:
“Do not falter or grieve, for you will have the upper hand, if you are ˹true˺ believers.” (Surah Al-Imran, Ayat 139)
Let us come to our senses. Let us seek forgiveness from our Lord day and night. Let us give abundant alms. Let us raise our hands and pray for the honor of the blessed months, days, and nights. We have been ungrateful, O Lord. We have learned our lesson. Do not deprive us of the Kaaba, the mosque, or the madrasah. Grant us, our Lord, the grace to easily overcome our trials with faith.
