Unfortunately, we are in the era in which the true and the wrong are integrated into each other. The most important agenda of this era are water, food safety, additives, seeds, medicine leftovers, hormone, drought etc.

Everybody is talking about food safety, natural/organic, being healthy.

One would like to offer the best and the most precious food to his children, spouse, guests.

It is time for Ramadan now! In Ramadan, the evening meals (iftar) are prepared. Various meals will dress the tables. Some will start their evening meal with a cigarette, and some with Coke of ethyl alcohol. Advertisements exploiting faith will be broadcasted instead of the degenerated ones broadcasted during eleven months. We will watch advertisements with minarets, ridge, evening meals, even though they hate Islam.

For the muslims, it is Ramadan Feast; and for the ones leading a secular life it is 'Sugar Feast'. Some will go to holiday resorts giving support to their crumpled values, some will wait for to be visited with eyes filled with tears, and some will feast at home.

Offering food and drink is a bridge of love and fraternity between people. It is a means towards mercy. Any kind of blessings we see in the world is the offer of Allah (c.c) to all human being without distinguishing between believers and non-believers.

The clean and healthy foods that are granted by Allah are source of life and energy for human beings. Each is a different colour, taste, vitamin and mineral storage...

Natural foods, Allah's mercy, are corrupted by alarming people or adding hormones or as if increasing taste or mixing licit food with non-licit food to earn more money.

Some people quick buck from water that is alleged to be lessened. Some are busy with transforming drought that is periodically a means of trial into money.

Indeed, oil is a limited resource and will end one day, but water never! 97.5 % of the world is water, and 2.5% is soil. 2.5% of water is fresh water. The percentage of water needed for soil and the percentage of soil is equal. If water is indispensable blessing for life, the guarantor of water throughout human beings' life is Allah (c.c).

The ones having secular thought lacking in faith and the ones unaware of Qur'an, even they believe, cannot comprehend this reality.

Even people may continue to direct rivers into the seas, the waters of oceans that are regarded as inconvenient to be used evaporate and making clouds. And rain onto the ground with the help of winds. This order of Allah (Sunnetullah) is explicit when humans have the idea that water is finished…

Allah (c.c) is the guarantor of supply of all living beings He created. As He tells He will never retract His promise. See Qur'an Baqarah 22, İbrâhîm 32, Hijr 20, Banî Isrâîl 31, Tâhâ 81.

Water, for the sake of being disciplined over misgoverning of the world and fundamental needs of human beings, is while for some people a vital need, but for some companies it is a means of rent providing quite a lot of profit.

Recently, issues such as global warming, drought, scarcity of drinking water affect people, of course. Most of the people do not inquire whether this information is true or not. What is the aim of the people involved in any kind of actions threatening the environment to formulate an agenda of these issues?

Last year, we saw the documentary titled 'An Inconvenient Truth' by Al Gore, Former Vice-President of the USA. He was even awarded Nobel Prize for his 'inconvenient lie'. People who watched it, will remember. In his documentary, Al Gore said, “after the ice is melted, the waters will rise 2 metres. Arizona will be under water in June 2008.” Until his lie was revealed, he swept $100 million into his pocket. However, no one is aware of being fooled yet.

Whomever loots the world of its resources agitate people. While we are worried, they take a step back and feel the pleasure. It is not important whether the mentioned information is true or not. No one has the right to waste any blessing of Allah (c.c). Even all the oceans were fresh water, one Muslim would not use more water than needed to perform ablution.

As we do not have the right to waste the blessings of nature, we do not have the right to endanger the health blessing. Because Allah (c.c) created human beings, they have some signs from him. When you look at human beings, you remember Allah. Producers reflect their own culture, faith and ethics into their products.

Nowadays, the principles of industry is secular like their inventors. In that era, we see that the foodstuff bought goes beyond the boundries of our faith.

In the coming Ramadan Feast, you are going to offer colourful candies to your guests. I wonder how many of you will wonder the content of these candies? How many Muslims will inquire whether there is inconvenent additives according to their faith? How many of you will worry about bad effects of many additives on their children's health? The rich will look at the package and the poor to the price.

Today's Muslim (human being), who has become slave of pleasure and taste by capitalism, is fallen apart from the divine and lost in the understanging of unconcern. There seems to be no opportunity to discuss 'the worry of halal consumption' apart from their philosophy and politics. Indeed, both sides are contented.

During this Ramadan Feast, offer date that is rich in fiber, minerals, phenol, copper, zinc, sodium, potasium, magnesium, calcium, ferrum, sucrose, protein instead of unnatural candy (such as Turkish delight, candy, chocolate) of which content and production way you do not know. Therefore, you will be both freed from responsibility and present a beneficial offer.

We must certainly rethink of date, a heavenly blessing, which prevents cardiovascular illnesses, sore throats, bronchitis, cough and catching cold; protects against cancer; takes away fatigue; develops body and mind; strenghtens bones; and we must add it to our shopping list.

Date is a kind of wonderful energy storage that must be present in any drawer, bag, pocket, cage, plate; and moreover it is the food of smart people.

Allah (c.c) commands in Surah Nahl-67 “And of the fruits of the datepalm, and grapes, whence ye derive strong drink and (also) good nourishment. Lo! therein is indeed a portent for people who have sense.”  In Surah Qâf 10-11 “And lofty date-palms with ranged clusters provision made for men.”  These words are not advertisements of which each word is a lie, but these are words of Allah (c.c). For the ones who want to learn a lesson…
