In 2010 Halal Advocates went on a tour of New York, visiting several masjids, Islamic institutions, including Darul Ulum New York, and visited many prominent Imams and scholars, including Imam Siraj Wahhaj.

 

Halal Advocacy and Awareness on Campus

Do you want to have a Halal Food Program at your school? airline? hospital? prison? The advocates have begun working alongside food vendor services and university boards (for example) to bring understanding of the Halal protocol to them and presenting a strategic direction most suitable for the success of a Halal program. Universities, such as Bradley University and

the University of Illinois, have since tapped the Halal Advocates for similar advice and direction regarding the Halal program and have created an assured Halal channel for their students. We continue to encourage universities across the nation to properly educate their university boards, 3rd party food vendor services and classmates about the significance of Halal in America.  Please visit the Our Resources section of the website and view the presentation on Halal Education and Planning. Visit the Resources Page to view a presentation on Halal Education and Awareness. It can be modified for schools, hospitals, airlines, and more. Contact Us to learn about how!
