What Is Halal Insurance?

The generalization of halal is the identification of certain ethnic and religious symbols that originally belonged to the diet, and extended to family life and even social life outside the diet, such as halal water, halal toothpaste, and halal paper towels.

Halal generalization

First, under the conditions of a market economy, some bad companies and businesses are driven by the interests. They maliciously hyped the concept of Halal and abused the halal logo without permission to compete for the market for their products. The appearance is to respect and protect the legitimate rights and interests of ethnic minorities and serve the minority. The ethnic masses are really seeking personal gain and misleading consumers. In particular, some food products are false and false, and "halal food is not halal" and "false halal" problems have seriously infringed on the legitimate rights and interests of ethnic minority people who consume halal food. This has also promoted the Islamic community and ethnic minority people who believe in Islam. Pay more attention to the authenticity and integrity of halal food, and pay more attention to the issue of halal food supervision and certification.

The second is misleading overseas. Relevant international organizations and a few countries define halal food from a religious perspective, which is not completely consistent with China's traditional habits of halal food consumption by ethnic minorities. It is worth noting that some countries have set a halal certification system strictly in accordance with Islamic law for the sake of national interests and intend to promote it internationally. This system has extended halal certification beyond food, which has had a certain impact internationally. However, some domestic places and enterprises do not understand this background, and they only consider cooperating with them in developing overseas markets, and use this halal standard to expand the scope of use of the "halal" logo, which has led to the chaos of domestic halal food regulatory certification.

The third is misunderstanding in society. China's Hui and other ethnic minorities who believe in Islam are intertwined with nationalities and religions, and sometimes difficult to distinguish. Since the 1970s, under the influence of the Islamic Revival Movement, fundamentalists in some countries and regions have promoted the religiousization of social life, which has also adversely affected some Muslims in our country. Starting from expanding the influence of religion, they unilaterally emphasized the religious attributes of halal food and downplayed their national attributes. Coupled with the improper explanations of some scholars, they also contributed to the generalization of the concept of "halal". In addition, some local governments' thoughts and practices of religious construction and economic opera have contributed to the excessive use of halal signs. ^[1]

One is to expand the religious connotation of halal food, leading to the self-isolation of related ethnic groups, expanding ethnic boundaries, strengthening social separation, not conducive to exchanges and communication among ethnic groups, damage to national unity and religious harmony, and to the formation of mutual respect among nations, The good atmosphere of solidarity and mutual assistance is not conducive to the development and progress of the nation, and it is an opportunity for some bad companies to make profits.

The second is to encourage religious extremes, leading some believers to become radical in their beliefs, conservative in their lives, and extreme in their behavior.

Third, the generalization of the concept of "Halal" is a manifestation of pan-Islamization, deliberately expanding the national cultural traditions of halal diet to religious ethics, proposing a so-called set of halal theories, and compulsory implementation by external forces to interfere with the masses It is very dangerous for social life to interfere with the administration, justice, education, and marriage of the state. What's more serious is that the religious extremists at home and abroad steal the concept, confuse "halal" with the teachings and regulations, and expand the concept of halal to all aspects of society. Anyone who does not meet Islamic regulations is "unhalal" and "illegal" Furthermore, they instigated the leadership of the opposition party, opposed the socialist system, and engaged in ethnic division and violent terrorist activities. ^[1]

One: We must adhere to the principle of separation between politics and religion

Our country is a socialist country where politics and religion are separated. The state protects normal religious activities. No one may use religion to carry out activities that disrupt social order, damage the health of citizens, or interfere with the national education system. Religion must not be used to interfere in the implementation of state functions such as state administration, justice, education, and social affairs such as marriage. The generalization of the concept of "Halal" is essentially pan-Islamization. To expand religious interference in social life, we must resolutely stop and correct it. Religious circles and religious people should be educated to correctly handle the relationship between national laws and canons, strengthen citizen awareness, strengthen the concept of law observance, adhere to national laws being greater than teaching laws, and consciously carry out activities within the scope allowed by laws and regulations and policies.

Two: Government management departments must perform their duties effectively

Governments at all levels cannot ignore the phenomenon of the generalization of the "halal" concept and do nothing. It is necessary to improve laws and regulations and adhere to the definition of halal food from the customs and habits of ethnic minorities. For foods related to meat products, animal fats and food additives, you can apply for certification and mark "Halal" food at the corresponding agency; for food products such as vegetables, fruits, water, flour, rice, medicine and toothpaste, cosmetics, Non-edible products such as leather shoes are not subject to "Halal" supervision and certification, and the "Halal" logo is not required; if the export of goods does require "Halal" certification supervision, they must also be treated with care and strict control. It is necessary to strengthen supervision and management, carry out clean-up and rectification, and timely discover and correct violations of laws and abuses of halal signs. Businesses who take advantage of opportunities to make profits must be promptly and severely punished according to law. We must also seriously correct the practice of some local government organizations in promoting the "halal industry." It is not appropriate to use the term "halal industry" when conducting trade activities with Arab Islamic countries.

3: Islamic Associations and People in the Islamic Community Must Know and Treat It Correctly

It is necessary to combine the work of interpretation and teaching, adhere to the middle way, compile new waltz, reasonably interpret the meaning and scope of Islamic food on halal food, not over-strengthen religious attributes, educate and guide the Muslim people to respect tradition, and treat halal food rationally. Blindly superstitious "hyal" concept of artificial speculation, to develop a correct halal food consumption concept.

Four: Relevant enterprises must abide by national laws and policies and perform social responsibilities

It is necessary to adhere to the unification of economic and social benefits, and it is strictly prohibited to abuse or arbitrarily use the halal logo for the purpose of profit making, hype the concept of halal, and promote the phenomenon of halal generalization. The bad results caused by bad business profits must not be passed on to the Islamic community and the Muslim masses to create ethnic barriers and undermine religious harmony.

Five: Relevant experts and scholars should strengthen research and guidance.

We must adhere to the fine traditions, adhere to the direction of sinicization, and be good at discerning the differences and relations between ethnic groups and religions without overly explaining the religious meaning of halal food. It is necessary to correctly interpret the rules and regulations of foreign halal foods, and not to mislead or mislead the masses. We must persist in cultural self-confidence, and we must cope with explanations that are not in line with China's reality and the spirit of the middle way. ^[1]
