Haram Free is the Way to Be!
Think Halal, Im tired of coming across brothers who try justifying eating haram meat, (meaning meat is slaughtered unlawfully, not according to the laws of the shariah”). 
I hate when shatan gets people comfortable in there ways, everytime i try to talk to a brother who eats haram meat, he replys ” Brother we live in a kufr country, or I’m used to it because I’ve been eating it since I’m little or haram food is cheaper and thats all i can afford”, How slick, i should put castor oil on his tongue, but come on your old enough to read the laws which Allah has commanded us to follow in the Quran, so don’t try to play games.
Anyhows what im trying to say is Brother and Sisters eating unlawful meat, you have no reason to be eating it. Mashallah look around you you so many shops that provide halal meals and you still trying to hop around the bushes. At least in New York, we got Halal chinese, afghani, pakistani, and even halal mexican!. They might not be franchises but i hardly feel bad after eating Halal food, except if i eat too much.
Whats even more annoying is seeing Muslim justify haram consumption, I walked into a deli that had a sister in hijab at the cash register and a brother at the lotto machine, his store sold beer also. When i asked him “why does he sell haram products” he said “Alhumduillah, Brother this is america, we do business for everyone”. How weird. Inshallah Allah guide everyone stuck in that mentality.
Although statistics show that 75 pecent of Muslim Familys follow Halal Guidelines, but i feel as if when brothers and sisters leave there house they feel free to do haram things, astugfurillah, Allah is always watching, and what you complaining about you can even run to quiznos or subways and grab a tuna or veggie pattie, i don’t even want to start with alternatives. Recently when i went to canada i had Halal Popeyes, Mashallah it was mad good and now i know why its so popular. I wanna move to canada. Inshallah we can get some halal franchises in this country. I know their are scattered halal Kentucky fried chicken and when i went to las vegas they had a halal burger king, how suprising, but mashallah we all know our moms home cooked is the best.
Alot of products these days are sparking rumors of being haram, i dont wanna get into details but meat is meat, and its easy to clear up halal and haram in that situation. So my brothers and sisters, if you are eating unlawful meat, start making moves and eat halal otherwise you will be punished for it. Ramadan is here, now is your chance to start shifting. The ayah in the quran is
Eat of that which Allah hath bestowed on you as food
lawful and good, and keep your duty to Allah in Whom
ye are believers. (5:88)
and remember if a person who is selling to you tells you his or her meat is halal, then you can eat it, if it isn’t and they are lieing than they will be punished for it, but it is your obligation to make sure that it is first before you take your first bite, and we all can agree that our first bite is always the best bite, so think halal and act halal Inshallah!
(Animals such as cows, sheep, goats, deer, moose, chickens, ducks, game birds, etc., are also Halal, but they must be Zabihah (slaughtered according to Islamic Rites) in order to be suitable for consumption. The procedure is as follows: the animal must be slaughtered by a Muslim (or a Jew or Christian ). The animal should be put down on the ground (or held it if it is small) and its throat should be slit with a very sharp knife to make sure that the 3 main blood vessels are cut. While cutting the throat of the animal (without severing it), the person must pronounce the name of Allah or recite a blessing which contains the name of Allah, such as “Bismillah Allah-u-Akbar”)
