Halal food is a type of food that is especially prepared according to guidelines set by Muslim holy men or imams, and also those that are set forth in the Islamic Holy Book or the Koran. In terms of kosher foods, these are food prepared under guidelines of the Jewish holy leaders, or rabbis, and also by rules under the Jewish Holy Book the Torah.
Almost everyone in the world will be familiar with the term halal and the symbol associated with it. Quite a lot of items are considered halal or allowed when it has the symbol on it, as being opposed to something that is haram, which is forbidden. Lifestyle choices can also be encompassed under this classification, where these be hotels, tourist spots and fashion lines and clothing. In Muslim countries there are even such things as approved television shows.
When it comes to things kosher, followers of this preparation of food Is gaining ground as well, especially in the United States. A significant difference between halal and kosher food preparations is that for Muslims artificial ingredients and condiments are never allowed. In kosher, it is not so strict and may even allow artificial sweeteners and even monosodium glutamate, which you will never find in Muslim regulated foods.
Due to the similarities in history of the Jewish and Muslims, many believe that kosher and halal are the same thing. Nothing could be more wrong and one must not stick to this position so as to avoid embarrassment in certain situations in the Middle East.
One salient difference between the traditional preparation of slaughtered meat for Muslims and Jews are the prayers involved. For Muslims to make the meat acceptable plenty of prayers are made before the slaughter. For the Jews, all that needs to be done is if the preparation be made by a certified rabbi.
Only in Jewish products can alcohol be permitted and it will still be considered acceptable or kosher. However, alcohol will always be consider haram for the Muslims. It is quite possible to find a fruitcake therefore to be kosher but it will never be acceptable to the Muslims. Fruits and vegetables are always acceptable under Muslim tenets, but this is only considered as acceptable by Jews as long as they have not come into contact with insects and bugs. Also, any fruit product can only be considered as acceptable by Jews if it was made by Jews themselves.
