Got this in an email:

Thank you for your interest in The Cheesecake Factory. About half of our cheesecakes contain beef gelatin. None of our desserts that we serve in our restaurants contain pork gelatin. The following cheesecakes contain beef gelatin:

Original Cheesecake
Fresh Strawberry Cheesecake
30th Anniversary Chocolate Cake Cheesecake
Brownie Sundae Cheesecake
Godiva Cheesecake
Vanilla Bean Cheesecake
Kahlua Cocoa Coffee Cheesecake
Key Lime Cheesecake
Dulce De Leche Caramel Cheesecake
Low Carb Cheesecake
Dutch Apple Caramel Streusel

The rest of our cheesecakes do not contain any gelatin. If you have any further questions, please let us know at your earliest convenience. I hope that you will visit us soon and enjoy some of our wonderful cheesecake!

Sincerely,

Valarie Newell
Guest Services Coordinator

So for the Muslim meat only eaters, the above cheesecakes can’t be in your stomach, but if you take the “AK” way (eating from the ahlul kitab aka people of the book) then continue to enjoy your cheesecakes.

I love cheesecake!

EDIT: For those who don’t know of the two opinions, please see it here.

Salah gone wrong…

This is hilarious. I have no idea what is going on but I have a theory. The beggar is non-Muslim, because if he was a Muslim, he’d be praying (at least I’d hope so). The beggar is trying to benefit from the generosity of Muslims, especially the ones who come to the Masjid for prayer. They would be the most generous. The first brother who comes late to the salah gives the beggar some money. The second brother does not and faces the punishment of being tripped by the beggar, which causes a domino effect to completely obliterate the entire line of brothers in prayer.

Is this staged? Possibly. Is this for real? Allah knows best.

I just think it’s funny. Hahaha!

This is the first peek in to G2: Return of the Lota. As everyone expected, one of the many scenes that G2 will feature is the Halal Mixtape 2 scene, and this is the video for the song “SunnahBack”, one of the parody songs from the Halal Mixtape 2. This song is about how we need to get our sunnah on in our lives. Enjoy this video and remember, this isn’t a real song, we’re just acting, and its comedy, with a message! Enjoy!

Australian Lamb is Halal! Costco, Giant, Safeway, Stop & Shop and others sell it

So I got an email which linked to this blog post here on the WorkHalal.com blog saying Costco sells Halal lamb. At first, I didn’t believe it, because for some reason whenever I see emails/blog-posts without sourcing to any website makes it seem shady. So I consulted my Shaykh (Sh. Google) and he gave me wonderful responses, mashaAllah! I found the Australian Lamb Company’s website and I contacted them myself. I received two responses from two different people:
