In nearly all the western countries including Europe, the primary choice for meat is pig. There are a lot of farms in these countries to breed this animal. In France alone, Pig Farms account for more than 42,000. Pigs have the highest quantity of fat in their body than any other animal. The following report by a medical practitioner reveals the extent to which pig fat might be unknowingly consumed by Muslims throughout the world.

One of my friends, Shaikh Sahib works in Pegal, France, in the Department of Food. His work is to register all makes of goods, foods and medicines. Whenever any company is putting something in the market, its ingredients have to be approved by the Department of Food, France, and as Shaikh Sahib works in the Laboratory Quality Control, he knows about the ingredients. Many of these ingredients contain scientific names, but some have mathematical names, like E-904, E-141. At first, when Shaikh Sahib came across them, he was curious and asked his Department Incharge, who was a French, and he replied, Just do your job. Dont ask questions.

This aroused suspicion in Shaikh Sahibs mind and he started looking-up for them in the files. What he found was enough to astonish any Muslim in the world. In nearly all the western countries including Europe, the primary choice for meat is pig. There are a lot of farms in these countries to breed this animal. In France alone, Pig Farms account for more than 42,000. Pigs have the highest quantity of fat in their body than any other animal. But Europeans and Americans try to avoid fats. Thus, where does the fat from these pigs go? All pigs are cut in slaughter houses under the control of the department of food and it was the headache of the department of food to dispose of the fat removed from these pigs.

Formally, it was burnt (about 60 years ago). Then they thought of utilizing it. First, they experimented it in the making of soaps and it worked. Then, a full network was formed and this fat was chemically processed, packed and marketed, while the other manufacturing companies bought it. In the meantime, all European States made it a rule that every Food, Medical and Personal Hygiene product should have the ingredients listed on its cover. So, this ingredient was listed as pig fat. Those who are living in Europe for the past 40 years know about this. But, these products came under a ban by the Islamic countries at that time, which resulted in a trade deficit.

Going back in time, if you are somehow related to South East Asia, you might know about the provoking factors of the 1857 Civil War. At that time, rifle bullets were made in Europe and transported to the sub-continent through the sea. It took months to reach there and the gunpowder in it was ruined due to the exposure to sea. Then, they got the idea of coating the bullets with fat, which was pig fat. The fat layer had to be scratched by teeth before using them. when the word spread, the soldiers, mostly Muslim and some vegetarians, refused to fight. This eventually lead to the Civil War. The Europeans recognized this fact, and instead of writing pig fat), they started writing animal fat. All those living in Europe since 1970s know this fact. When the companies were asked by authorities from the Muslim countries, what animal fat is it, they were told it was cow and sheep fat.

Here again a question arose, if it was cow or sheep fat, still it is haram to Muslims, as these animal were not slaughtered as per the Islamic law. Thus, they were again banned. Now, these multinational companies were again facing a severe drought of money as 75% of their income comes from selling their goods to Muslim Countries, and these earn billions of Dollars of profit from their exports to the Muslim world.
Finally they decided to start a coding language, so that only their Departments of Food Administration should know what they are using, and the common man is left lurking in the dark. Thus, they started E-Codes. These E-Ingredients are present in a majority of products of multinational firms including, but not limited to - tooth paste, shaving cream, chewing gum, chocolate, sweets, biscuits, corn flakes, toffees, canned foods, fruit tins, and some medications like multi-vitamins. Since these goods are being used in all Muslim countries indiscrimately, our society is facing problems like shamelessness, rudeness and sexual promiscuity.

So I request all Muslims to check the ingredients of the items of daily use and match it with the following list of E-Codes. If any of the ingredients listed below is found, try to avoid it, as it has got pig fat.

E100, E110, E120, E 140, E141, E153, E210, E213, E214, E216, E234, E252, E270, E280, E325, E326, E327, E334, E335, E336, E337, E422, E430, E431, E432, E433, E434, E435, E436, E440, E470, E471, E472, E473, E474, E475, E476, E477, E478, E481, E482, E483, E491, E492, E493, E494, E495, E542, E570, E572, E631, E635, E904.

It is the responsibility of each and every Muslim to follow the Islamic path and also keep his fellow followers informed of anything that he comes across. May Allah help us lead a halal life.

PJKN stands for PROGRAM JATIDIRI KESUKARELAAN NEGARA...

it is a program that a bit similar to PLKN or known as national service but shorter period. the program only held for ten days. i was appointed to become one of the facilitator. it was a unique program, i say so because the participants are not only from malay student but also involve one iban guy, one indian girl with 6 other indian boys and nearly 60 people of "org asli" can we said that they are malaysia origin people? this is my first time i involve with org asli,they are sweet,shy in front of others but very sporting in their clique, very punctual with time, and talented of course. this is the first time for my brothers n sisters from taboh naning joined a program outside their hometown.

PJKN is a platform for this kids to learned how to be a volunteer, how to appreciate senior citizens especially their parents. we had visited the rumah seri kenangan cheng..it is an old folks home, so many students and even the facilitator and working committee cried badly, of course we all felt the sadness that shared by this senior citizens. most of them still have family members, but they been sent there because their kids don't want to take care of them anymore. i did not cry, because i don't want to make these aunties and uncles to become more sad...we visit them to cheer them,to make them happy, to let them share their feelings, to listen to lend our shoulder for them to cry and of course to let them feel there are so many people still love them..even thought only for one moment, one day or even one second,there will always someone care for you, me and them. of course i also feel sad, i have feelings too,but i'm glad because my father had already meet Allah, he no need to face all this situation, my mom once said to me after my dad passed away, "one day, you'll be the one who is going to sell me, and you are the one who sent me to the old folks home" ~if i follow my hot tempered surely i will answer,why should i sell u? u already old enough,nobody wants you, you don't have energy anymore to work hard..old people should just stay at home and rest. it's true what,to pick up a glass also sometime old people can't do that,how are they going to cook,to wash clothes? why my mom hate me so much, i dont know n i dont want to know,tired already to search for answer, i just do my duty as a child, i have credit i'll sms or call, i have more money i went back to my hometown. if not i just keep quite in melaka,do some work to gain some income.

in rumah seri kenangan,they wash their own clothes for those who still can walk n have some energy, there is one uncle, he paralyze already, half of his body can't functioning. but yet still slowly he do some gardening, the garden that he take care is so clean n beautiful..
there also one auntie,she been cheated by her best friend after her husband died,its a long story, but she remind me thousand times i think,don't trust anybody 100% u must have a doubt here n there a bit, but not sooo doubtful. i cry hardly in the bus n when i reach the hostel, i let go my feelings. i promise myself, if anybody in my big family wanted to throw their parents, i will be the one taking care of all my aunts and uncle, i must be rich so that i can hired enough maid and nurses to take care of my love one especially my granny..wish she have a long life.

PJKN in full with visit,we visit the CM office, and we had a a short briefing about the function of the DEWAN RAKYAT,i'm not sure how to translate,but something got to do with melaka government, then we had a visit to putrajaya, kementerian hal ehwal dalam negeri..it is interesting,the rate of crime in malaysia keep increasing from time to time,its scared me. i should learn my taekwondo again, we must protect ourselves. don't rely on others.

there's a lot of activities being held in this program, i really enjoy it even though i have a lot of work n i get sick because keep shouting to wake this kids up for morning prayers..it makes me feel really tired but fun, and i believe all this kids also enjoy the program..we get responses from the org asli officer who is one of our committee, they wanted to join other program organized by us.. i really happy because on the last day,everyone can hug each other(guy with guy and girls with girls) to say good bye and hope the friendship will remain forever..

and tomorrow i will visit the org asli village because tomorrow is dasira's birthday,she is in the group that i handle..miss them so much already, still don't know what to wear to meet them tomorrow..i'll tell u what happen tomorrow key...
