HALAL PHARMACEUTICAL- AN EMERGING CONCEPT GLOBALLY .
The Cow (Al-Baqarah):30 - And
when thy Lord said unto the angels: Lo! I am about to place a viceroy in the
earth, they said: Wilt thou place therein one who will do harm therein and will
shed blood, while we, we hymn Thy praise and sanctify Thee? He said: Surely I
know that which ye know not.
Urdu translation:- اور (وہ وقت یاد کرنے کے
قابل ہے) جب تمہارے پروردگار نے فرشتوں سے فرمایا کہ میں زمین میں (اپنا) نائب
بنانے والا ہوں۔ انہوں نے کہا۔ کیا تُو اس میں ایسے شخص کو نائب بنانا چاہتا ہے جو
خرابیاں کرے اور کشت وخون کرتا پھرے اور ہم تیری تعریف کے ساتھ تسبیح وتقدیس کرتے
رہتے ہیں۔ (خدا نے) فرمایا میں وہ باتیں جانتا ہوں جو تم نہیں جانتے
The Cow (Al-Baqarah):34 - And
when We said unto the angels: Prostrate yourselves before Adam, they fell
prostrate, all save Iblis. He demurred through pride, and so became a
disbeliever.
Urdu translation:- اور جب ہم نے فرشتوں کو
حکم دیا کہ آدم کے آگے سجدہ کرو تو وہ سجدے میں گر پڑے مگر شیطان
نے انکار کیا اور
غرور میں آکر کافر بن گیا
The favourite angel become Iblis
(Most unfavourite ) only because he did not obey the commandment of Allah and
got punishment.
The Cow (Al-Baqarah):35 - And We
said: O Adam! Dwell thou and thy wife in the Garden, and eat ye freely (of the
fruits) thereof where ye will; but come not nigh this tree lest ye become
wrong-doers.
Urdu translation: - اور ہم نے کہا کہ اے آدم
تم اور تمہاری بیوی بہشت میں رہو اور جہاں سے چاہو بے روک ٹوک کھاؤ (پیو) لیکن اس
درخت کے پاس نہ جانا نہیں تو ظالموں میں (داخل) ہو جاؤ گے
ALLAH, Subhanahu wa ta’ala, has rewarded the
heaven to Adam, alaihis salaam, clearly
instructed not to eat the fruits of the forbidden tree (haram). Prophet Adam,
alaihis salaam, succumbed to the nafs (temptations) and ate the fruit for which
he was chastised and punished by ALLAH. He was banished from heaven to Earth as
mentioned in the below verse of Holy Quran
The Cow (Al-Baqarah):36 - But
Satan caused them to deflect there from and expelled them from the (happy)
state in which they were; and We said: Fall down, one of you a foe unto the
other! There shall be for you on earth a habitation and provision for a time.
Urdu translation: - پھر شیطان نے دونوں کو
وہاں سے پھسلا دیا اور جس (عیش ونشاط) میں تھے، اس سے ان کو نکلوا دیا۔ تب ہم نے
حکم دیا کہ (بہشت بریں سے) چلے جاؤ۔ تم ایک دوسرے کے دشمن ہو، اور تمہارے لیے زمین
میں ایک وقت تک ٹھکانا اور معاش (مقرر کر دیا گیا) ہے
The world came in to existence
with the arrival of Adam, alaihis salaam and he has been directed to follow the
guidance of Allah as it reaches to him time to time.
The Cow (Al-Baqarah):38 - We
said: Go down, all of you, from hence; but verily there cometh unto you from Me
a guidance; and whoso followed My guidance, there shall no fear come upon them
neither shall they grieve.
Urdu translation: - ہم نے فرمایا کہ تم سب
یہاں سے اتر جاؤ جب تمہارے پاس میری طرف سے ہدایت پہنچے تو (اس کی پیروی کرنا کہ)
جنہوں نے میری ہدایت کی پیروی کی ان کو نہ کچھ خوف ہوگا اور نہ وہ غمناک ہوں گے
The Muslims are exercising their
religious belief freely in Islamic countries but the Muslims living in Non
Muslim countries have some limitations like Halal food is their primary
challenge. The following verses of Holy Quran describe what kind of meat is
permitted.
The Honey Beess (An-Naĥl):115 - He hath
forbidden for you only carrion and blood and swineflesh and that which
hath been immolated in the name of any other than Allah; but he who is driven
thereto, neither craving nor transgressing, lo! then Allah is Forgiving,
Merciful.
Urdu
Translation - اس نے تم پر مُردار اور
لہو اور سور کا گوشت حرام کردیا ہے اور جس چیز پر خدا کے سوا کسی اور کا نام پکارا
جائے (اس کو بھی) ہاں اگر کوئی ناچار ہوجائے تو بشرطیکہ گناہ کرنے والا نہ ہو اور
نہ حد سے نکلنے والا تو خدا بخشنے والا مہربان ہے
In 1960 the United State of America permitted
for halal food to the Muslim in respect of their religious need and obligation.
Halal becomes the part of Codex Alimentarius (ensuring that the flesh of the
animal has excellent hygienic condition and meet the international standards). Of
United Nations in 1998.
The pork meat is commonly used in
non Muslim counties and its bi products are used in manufacturing other
products like oil, Gelatin etc. The Muslim countries import lot of products
from non Muslim countries hence the question raises about their pork
ingredients used in these products? These products required Halal certification
for Muslim consumer.
In the early 1980’s the concepts
of Halal Certification started growing and the Halal authorities and committees
were formed in different Muslim countries to enforce and monitor Halal food and
halal products. The Malaysia enjoys the diversity in religion and need balance
between Muslims and other religion. In 1982 Malaysia initiated the Halal
committee under Islamic Centre Pusat Islam.
Similarly Indonesia is another
big Muslim country with around 200 million population developed a regulatory
body known as Assessment Institute for food, Drugs and Cosmetics by the Majlis
Ilama Indonesia (MUI), this body was comprises of religious scholar and their
responsibility was to handle the threat of Pork fat (lard) in their imported
products.
The Islamic centre of Singapore
develop the Maglis Ulma Islam with the support of government and the MUIS started Halal Certification in 1978
beside the fact that the Muslims are in minority in Singapore. In 1999 their
parliament passed the amendment of the administration of Muslim Act (AMLA) and
the government further delegated the powers to MUIS to regulate, promote and
enhance the Halal food industry.
To meet the need of Halal product, the need of
Halal Certification increases day by day and finally the World Halal Council
Was formed in 1999 in Jakarta, Indonesia. World Halal Council has 142 Islamic
Scholars from different countries of the world. They derived the Shariah Law
for Halal Certification. It aims to have a mutual cooperation and respect among
halal certifying bodies worldwide and standardize halal certification procedure
and technicalities.
The 1.8 Billion Muslims are 26% of the Global
population , they did not confine their noise of Halal products up to halal
meat, Consumer or Cosmetics products
rather they start demanding Halal pharmaceutical as well, because of non halal
ingredient incurred in Pharmaceutical manufacturing like…
Gelatin
Capsule
Oil
base inject able
Vitamins
products
Nutritional
products
Protein
powders etc.
Gelatin.
The global gelatin market was around $2.7
billion, while the estimated market of pharmaceutical and Nutraceuticals was
$1.3 billion in 2015. according to a 2015 report by Grand View Research. Based
on a volume cumulative annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8 percent per annum
between 2014 and 2020, there was a market value
of $2.7 billion for 2015, and a market volume of 403 metric kilotons. Pharmaceuticals
and Nutraceuticals are the second and third largest application categories
of gelatin after food, accounting for 26 percent and 21 percent respectively of
the total market,nearly all gelatin production worldwide is non-halal, and
analysts estimate that just 3 percent is halal-certified, 45 percent gelatin is
from porcine (pork-based) and the rest is sourced from cows and fish, according
to Roland Fischer at VALEMIS Performance Ingredients, Switzerland.
Gelatin is now used in hard and soft
capsules for prescription drugs and vitamin supplements- as a result; many
Muslims often unknowingly take capsule drugs that contain porcine gelatin. Now
the Halal pharmaceuticals market showing substantial growth, so halal gelatin
demand is increased. However, halal gelatin has yet to become widely available.
The pharmaceutical Companies started
getting halal certifications for their units and products to satisfy the need
and wants of the consumer. I would like to quote some companies who certified
them halal.
Abbot

the Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America (IFANCA) or the Islamic

retail market, are free from Haram and doubtful ingredients, hence Halal and
suitable for consumption by Muslims.
