DECLARATION BY WHFC CHAIRMAN, PRESIDENTS AND ALL MEMBERS
The Past Few Years Have Been Difficult For Australian Certifiers Due To The Concerted Push Against Halal Products Where Companies Including: • Cadburys • Fleurieu Milk And Yoghurt • And Many Others Are Put Under Pressure Not To Supply And Produce Halal Certified Products. The Australian Governement Has Been Slow To Act And Acknowlege The Importance Of The Certifiers In Australia’s Economy.
I slam Is A Complete Way Of Life, Relevant To All Muslims At All Times And In All Places And Halal Products (Food, Drinks, Meat, Etc.) Are An Essential Part Of This Complete Way Of Life. Halal Has Nothing To Do With Terrorism And Such An Accusation Is Totally Unacceptable. Halal Is Not A Creation Of Mankind, It Is An Order From Allah And Is An Essential Part Of Our Faith. Halal Is Important For Both Domestic & Exporting Markets. Halal Is A Matter For Muslims To Have A Say And Control. Halal Can Only Be Certified By The Reputiable & Trustworthy Organisations Which Are Owned And Run By Muslims Who Are Approved By Both Local & Exporting Authorities. Halal Must Follow The Guides And Requirements Of The Importing Countries. Halal Certification Is Not Just A Quality Certification, It Must Be Audited And Approved By Muslim Auditors And Islamic Religious Authority. Any Decision Related To Halal Can Only Be Made By Relevant Muslim Authorities.
