Organic refers to the way farm products are produced and processed. Organic farming involves abstaining from pesticides, synthetic hormones, antibiotics and chemical fertilizers that adversely affect the natural environment.
In the Holy Quran it states, “O, ye who believe! Make not unlawful, the good things that Allah hath made lawful for you. But commit no excess for Allah loveth not those given to excess. Eat of the things, which Allah hath provided for you, lawful and good (Halal and Tayyab); but fear Allah in whom ye believe (5:87-88).”
From a religious perspective, organic food is a way to fulfill the sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (S), it is a way to make sure our food is Tayyab- that it is pure. Religious scholars have stated that when food is not pure it affects our soul and our prayers.
From a scientific point of view, studies show that pesticides found in conventional farming show a link between many health disorders and diseases. Additionally, it puts a toxic load on the environment, and may even decrease biodiversity.

Yes, that are foods that are Organic, but not permitted for muslim consumptions. For example Haram products and animals that have not been slaughtered in the Islamic Manner will not be Halal, even if they are ORGANIC.
Halal is a promoter of wholesome and pure foods, in an ideal world Halal and Organic could be used interchangeable to a certain extent.
Yes, organic Foods should be Halal certified, and there has been a certain increase in Halal Organic Foods. The awareness is growing, however, it still needs work....
But, did anyone hear that they are selling IFANCA Certified Cheese-Cabot Cheese in the gourmet cheese deparment. It has the logo too!!! We can enjoy pasta again yum!. |

I understand the significance of organic food in our lives.
However I am curoius if there are food products, consumables and / or ingredients that are "Organic" but not permitted for the muslim consumptions (Mashbooh or Haraam).
Also, shouldn't organic food be halal certified to make sure the processes and added preservatives comply halal standards?
Any thoughts? |

In our Deen, we are told to take care of ourselves but also things around us, because it is a trust from Allah (SWT). Therefore, we need to be careful to preserve our environment and be careful of the food we eat.
The importance of making sure food is halal has been emphasized in a Hadith, Sayyidina Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wa Sallam) said: “The prayers of a person who eats one morsel of haraam food will not be heard for forty days.”
Additionally, in another hadith it is stated that: Abu Dawud also reported from al-Irbaad ibn Saariyah, may Allah be pleased with him that, The Messenger of Allah (S) led us in prayer one day, then he returned to us and exhorted us strongly...(he said), 'Pay attention to my sunnah (way) and the way of the Rightly-guided Khaleefahs after me, adhere to it and hold fast to it."
Furthermore, there are many other evidences which recommend to follow the sunnah of Prophet (S), which will further prove your love for Prophet(S) and Allah (SWT).
Yes, Organic food is something that needs to be re-implemented in our lives. To sum it up in another hadith it states that whoever follows the sunnah of Prophet(S) in this time of age, it is like the reward of 100 shaheed.  |
