Watch out for these HARAAM ingredients!!!

Assalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu,

I just came across the following ingredients that are HARAAM! Please watch out for them in your food stuff as well as in Make up products!

CARMINE
COCHINEAL
NATURAL RED 4
C.I.
CL 75470
E120



This is a red colouring that is derived from the blood of an insect. You may ask me why is it Haraam, well, the following verse explains this:

“He hath forbidden you only carrion, and blood, and swineflesh, and that which hath been immolated to (the name of) any other than Allah. But he who is driven by necessity, neither craving nor transgressing, it is no sin for him. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful” (2:173).

Hope this helps you when there is no stamp of a Halaal authority on a product you want to buy!

Ma' Salaam!

Blogger not working properly :(

Assalaamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu,

Today I finally got a chance to access my computer and put up some pics from Eid and Hajj, but sadly Blogger won't upload the photos :(

I don't have the patience to try again now, so will try later inshallah.

Hope i haven't missed any comments due to problems with my blog...

Take care

Ma' Salaam
