    HalalHub Consultants: A Reminder For Halal F&B Establishments To Excuse Staff To Break Their Fast

    Dear Halal Certificate Holders

    Based on astronomical calculations, Muslims in Singapore will be celebrating the Holy month of Ramadan from Saturday, 27 May 2017 to Saturday, 24 June 2017.

    Muslims observe the obligatory fasting from dawn till dusk (abt 5.30am to 7.10pm) for the whole complete month of this Blessed month.

    During breaking of fast, apart from enjoying the Halal food which you serve, your Muslim customers also need to perform their Maghrib (evening) prayers.

    Some Halal Certificate Holders provide prayer areas for their Muslim customers to perform their evening prayers, so that they are able to dine-in during the breaking of fast, with comfort and transquility, together with the whole family.

    Even your Muslim staff, need to break his/her fast. If it is indeed very busy, do excuse your Muslim staff so that he/she is able to take a sip of drink or some dates as a form of “official breaking of fast”. Its ok for him/her to enjoy her dinner slightly later during busy situations.

    HalalHub Consultants Pte Ltd hope that this Ramadan is indeed a blessed month for all Halal Certificate Holders, it’s customers and the whole of Halal industry.

    We wish everyone.. Ramadhan Kareem..

  • Free Carpooling App For Mosque-Goers To Be Launched In Time For Ramadan

    Free Carpooling App For Mosque-Goers To Be Launched In Time For Ramadan

    Three weeks ago, 15 youths from the Malay/Muslim community decided to come together and create a free carpooling app for mosque-goers.

    Terawhere, now in the final stages of development, will be launched on Friday, tying in with the start of Islam’s holy month of Ramadan.

    Before going to the mosque, drivers can key in a meeting time and location, and share their vehicle number plate and car colour using the app.

    Those looking for a ride to the same mosque can use an in-app map to search for a nearby driver.

    Ahead of the launch, 400 passengers and drivers have already signed up through a link provided by the app creators, after discovering the app online, said co-developer Tengku Hafidz, 24.

    The app, which will be rolled out for Android phones for a start, was unveiled at the Touch of Ramadan Celebrations launch yesterday.

    Its name draws reference from terawih prayers: The main form of night worship during Ramadan.

    Speaking to reporters at the launch at Masjid Al-Ansar in Bedok North, Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs Yaacob Ibrahim applauded the idea of carpooling.

    “There are a (few) more improvements they have to make, but I think the idea of carpooling and sharing, especially during the month of Ramadan, is certainly a wonderful idea, not only to save the environment but also to build communities,” he said.

    Healthy eating will feature heavily during Ramadan this year, with the Health Promotion Board partnering the South-East Mosque Cluster to print a booklet of 20 healthy recipes, including for dishes such as chicken nasi biryani and curry fish.

    “I’m glad there’s a lot more information now that’s being spread so that people can understand what are the healthy dishes that they can continue to cook,” said Dr Yaacob.

    Mosque madrasah and mosque kindergarten students between the ages of five and 16 will be issued 10,000 donation cans, and they will be encouraged to save their daily pocket money during Ramadan in these cans.

    Funds will go to the Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund after Hari Raya. The aim is to raise $850,000.

    Junyuan Secondary School student Mohd Irfaan Mohd Ariffin, 15, received his can yesterday and said he will be depositing S$5 daily — all of his pocket money — over the next few weeks.

    “Even though Muslims are (taking part) in this programme, it also serves the needy who are non-Muslim … it’s an impressive way to promote racial harmony,” said Irfaan.

    The line-up of activities includes Quran Hour: A time for all Muslims to recite the Quran together across the various mosques on June 11.

  • Jumlah Melayu/Islam Yang Ke Klinik Lonjak Hingga 30% Selepas Seminggu Beraya

    Jumlah Melayu/Islam Yang Ke Klinik Lonjak Hingga 30% Selepas Seminggu Beraya

    Bilangan anggota masyarakat Melayu/Islam yang mendapatkan rawatan di klinik-klinik, melonjak antara 10 peratus hingga 30 peratus selepas seminggu berhari raya. Ini berbanding puratanya pada hari-hari biasa.

    Dalam perkataan lain, lebih ramai orang Melayu/Islam berjumpa doktor bagi penyakit seperti batuk, sakit tekak, selesema dan sakit perut, setelah lima atau tujuh hari berlebaran.

    Demikian pandangan para doktor perubatan yang ditinjau BERITAMediacorp berhubung fenomena ‘pasca Hari Raya’ itu.

    Selepas sebulan berpuasa yang merehatkan perut dan mengawal pemakanan, kemeriahan Hari Raya lazimnya disambut dengan pelbagai makanan dan juga minuman-minuman bergas dan manis-manis.

    Hari ini (14 Julai) sudah masuk minggu kedua bulan Syawal, namun nampaknya lebih ramai orang Melayu akan berhari raya pula di klinik-klinik.

    Dr Muhammad Iqbal Abdullah dari Senja Gateway Family Clinic berkata, bilangan anggota masyarakat Melayu/Islam yang mendapatkan rawatan di klinik-klinik selepas seminggu berhari raya, meningkat hampir 10 atau 20 peratus, iaitu lebih tinggi daripada biasa.

    Dr Saiful Nizam Subari dari MyHealth Medical Centre pula berkata, jumlah itu meningkat sekitar 10 peratus “kalau untuk minggu pertama.”

    Biasanya, menurut mereka, kes-kes itu berkaitan dengan jangkitan atau penyakit saluran pernafasan atas, dan juga berkaitan sakit perut seperti gastrik atau buang-buang air.

    DOKTOR: ELAK MAKAN MINUM SECARA TIDAK TERKAWAL

    Para doktor memberi amaran bahawa perbuatan makan minum secara tidak terkawal yang seolah-olah ‘balas dendam’ selepas sebulan berpuasa, dan perbuatan makan pelbagai macam juadah, serta ditambah dengan penat berhari raya hingga larut malam, boleh menjejas sistem kekebalan tubuh.

    Bahkan, jika pemerhatian Dr Saiful Nizam dijadikan sandaran, lebih ramai lagi orang Melayu/Islam diramal dibelenggu ‘sakit Hari Raya’ pada hari-hari mendatang.

    Kata beliau: “Biasanya saya menjangka untuk melihat kemuncaknya (jumlah pesakit) mungkin pada minggu kedua atau minggu ketiga selepas hari raya.

    “Jadi ini mungkin disebabkan oleh perbuatan kunjung mengunjung dan sebagainya, dan proses dan masa yang diperlukan untuk penyakit itu menular.”

    Dr Muhammad Iqbal pula melihat satu lagi trend, iaitu para pesakit lazimnya bersesak-sesak ke klinik pada hari Isnin dan Selasa selepas hujung minggu pertama Lebaran.

    Kata beliau: “Rumah terbuka diadakan pada hari Sabtu dan Ahad, jadi mereka mengunjungi 10 hingga 20 rumah setiap hari.

    “Jadi hari Isnin, mereka terus kena ciri birit, penat dan sebagainya. Jadi saya rasa itu sebab kebanyakan orang jatuh sakit pada hari Isnin. Dan juga kadang-kadang klinik tidak buka pada hari Ahad, jadi mereka hanya ke doktor pada hari Isnin.”

    GEJALA “OVER RAYA”

    Malah ada doktor yang menyifatkan gejala itu sebagai “over Raya” atau terlebih berHari Raya. Lantaran itu, mereka menggalak masyarakat supaya mengambil sikap berpada-pada.

    Walaupun para doktor akur pentingnya budaya kunjung mengunjung semasa Syawal, mereka juga menarik perhatian bahawa kegiatan seperti itu juga boleh menjadi kenderaan untuk ‘berkongsi’ penyakit.

    NASIHAT DOTOR: BERSIHKAN TANGAN, JUADAH SIHAT

    Jadi apakah yang boleh anda lakukan?

    Dr Saiful Nizam berkata: “Contohnya, semasa kita berjabat tangan, mungkin kalau kita nak cuci tangan di depan orang itu, kita tak selesa lah kan.

    “Tapi mungkin kita boleh berbuat sesuatu. Cuci tangan pakai steril yang mungkin kita boleh gunakan selepas kita keluar daripada rumah itu dan sebagainya.”

    Ditanya harapan beliau tentang antara huraian kepada fenomena ‘pasca Hari Raya’ ini, Dr Iqbal pula berkata, antara lain masyarakat perlu menyajikan lebih banyak juadah sihat semasa Hari Raya.

    “Sepatutnya lebih ramai penyedia makanan yang memberikan masakan-masakan yang lebih berkhasiat yang kurang gula dan kurang lemaknya. Saya rasa lebih banyaklah penyedia yang harus menyediakan juadah-juadah ini,” kata beliau.

    Pendek kata, pilihan untuk tidak ‘beraya’ dengan doktor di klinik, terletak di tangan yang empunya diri.

  • A Story On The First Day Of Syawal

    A Story On The First Day Of Syawal

    A CONVERSATION ON THE FIRST OF SHAWWAL

    ISYAK: They came for me at the Masjid every night in Ramadhan… every night! I really thought they came for me. And I only realised I was wrong when our guest Mr Tarawih told me that they came for him and not me. I mean.. come on.. Im wajib and he’s sunnat..

    MAGHRIB: Me too bro… they were anxiously waiting for me to come every evening! They actually memorised my arrival time man! I was so happy until Mr Iftar told me they were waiting for him and not me.

    SUBUH: You guys should be thankful… They only came for me in the Masjid in the last 10 nights of Ramadhan. I thought they came for me but realised I was wrong when Mr Laylatul Qadr told me they came for him. And the saddest part was yesterday on 1st Shawwal. So many came although they were late. So many of them came. It was more than the numbers who came for Mr Jumaat. And then I realised they came for Mr Eid. Not me.

    LAYLATUL QADR: And those who knew my story, they only came on 5 of the odd nights, not 10. Imagine if Allah had revealed to them my actual date!

    ZUHUR & ASAR: [Silent, not understanding a single thing]
