Halal food movement has the strength to lead Muslims to rule the global economy as the food is the basic need of every human being, said Dr. Mustufa Ceric Grand Mufti Bosnia and Herzegovina while addressing the delegates of global Halal Congress at Islamic Chambers of Commerce and Industry here today.
Global Halal Congress scheduled on December 4 in Karachi which is being attended by delegates from 17 countries can be a break through for Pakistani exporters as the congress has the agenda of institutionalize the Halal certification and standardization of Halal products in Pakistan. Speaking on the occasion Grand Mufti of Bosnia and Herzegovina, who is also the Grand Mufti of Sanjak, Croatia and Slovenia said that people of his country love Pakistan and hold this in a high esteem on its role during ethnic cleansing and insurgency. Their love for Pakistan is reflected in the fact that mosques in Bosnia and Herzegovina made collections as a relief fund for the flood hit people in Pakistan. The amount collected was the biggest in the history of Bosnia he disclosed. The grand Mufti who declined to quantify the collection said that it was submitted to the authorities when arrived Pakistan this morning. Elaborating his point of view regarding potential of global Halal market, the grand mufti said that since food is the basic need of every human being the Muslim Ummah should focus on developing strong base of food production which he said would left other technologies used by the West as a source of economic prosperity.
Commenting on the state of Muslim Ummah, the grand mufti remarked that out of the total refugees in the world over 70 percents are Muslims rendered shelter less due disturbances sparked in their homelands yet the irony is that the Muslims are labeled as the terrorists. Mufti Saheb in a lighter mood said something very serious that Muslims of the world love each other yet they do not respect each other which is the major cause of unity and strength among themselves. |
