So, what is halal tourism anyway? The word “halal” is Arabic and means ‘permissible for Muslims’. The term is typically used for food but often covers all activities of daily life in accordance with Islamic law. But what makes halal tourism differ from the rest? Many Muslims desire to experience different cultures and environments while on holiday, without contradicting their faith. Although there are different ways they exercise their re- ligion and gradations in how strict they are with it, many Muslims will prefer to go destinations which have ‘halal tourism’ options. The rapid growth of the halal tourism industry not only results in the appearance of ‘Muslim-friendly’ or halal- friendly hotels, but also of specialised travel agencies and Destination Management Companies (DMCs) who offer halal holiday packages. Concepts of halal tourism Halal tourism is aligned with Islamic law and traditions Halal tourism lifestyle requirements include: 1. Easy access to halal food 2.

    sustainability Concept Paper Coronavirus and Halal Tourism and Hospitality Industry: Is It a Journey to the Unknown? Hatem El-Gohary College of Business & Economics, Qatar University, Doha 2713, Qatar; [email protected] Received: 7 October 2020; Accepted: 4 November 2020; Published: 7 November 2020 Abstract: Coronavirus (COVID-19) gained and will continue to gain a lot of global attention over the coming months (and maybe the coming few years). Since its outbreak in Wuhan (China), it has turned into one of the major challenges affecting the whole world. In a comparatively short time, the virus outbreak turned into a pandemic that led to massive negative impacts not only on people health and well-being, but also on the global economy, travel industry, pharmaceutical industry, tourism industry, and many other industries. This research paper aims to investigate the different effects of coronavirus on the global Halal tourism and Halal hospitality industry and whether the coronavirus pandemic is the end of Halal tourism and hospitality as we know it or not. The paper offers an in-depth theoretical examination of the different aspect of the pandemic on Halal tourism and hospitality industry and provides guidance on how to address these different aspects. The current paper is one of very few research papers addressing coronavirus on the tourism and hospitality industry. Keywords: coronavirus; COVID-19; Halal hospitality; Halal tourism; tourism industry; Muslim travellers; KSA; Egypt; Middle East 1. Introduction Unlike other religions, Islam encourages travel and inspires Muslims to travel to every part of earth to be educated, to seek a better life, to perform Islamic religious rituals such as Hajj or Umrah, to seek a cure from illness, tourism and enjoyment, as well as many other reasons.

Is Halal tourism only for Muslim families who abide by Islamic Shari'ah rules? Should it be Halal tourism or Islamic tourism?

Reproduction of any part of the contents of this document, by any means, needs the prior permission of the owners. Copyright C 2000, ExoticIndiaArt Namaste: The Significance of a Yogic Greeting Article of the Month - November 2001 In a well-known episode it so transpired that the great lover god Krishna made away with the clothes of unmarried maidens, fourteen to seventeen years of age, bathing in the river Yamuna. Their fervent entreaties to him proved of no avail. It was only after they performed before him the eternal gesture of namaste was he satisfied, and agreed to hand back their garments so that they could recover their modesty. The gesture (or mudra) of namaste is a simple act made by bringing together both palms of the hands before the heart, and lightly bowing the head. In the simplest of terms it is accepted as a humble greeting straight from the heart and reciprocated accordingly. Namaste is a composite of the two Sanskrit words, nama, and te. Te means you, and nama has the following connotations: To bend To bow To sink To incline To stoop All these suggestions point to a sense of submitting oneself to another, with complete humility. Significantly the word 'nama' has parallels in other ancient languages also. It is cognate with the Greek nemo, nemos and nosmos; to the Latin nemus, the Old Saxon niman, and the German neman and nehman. All these expressions have the general sense of obeisance, homage and veneration.

We are also glad to inform you that the City of Livermore has approved the renovation plan for the Goddess Kanaka Durga Devi facility.

To construct these (Phase I) facilities, we need to raise $4,000,000. We humbly request you all to make generous donations to help complete these facilities. Please see Appeal to Donors section in the newsletter from treasurer for sponsorship and donor recognition details.

  • Halal Tourism Perception

    Halal Tourism Perception

    Journal of Association of Arab Universities for Tourism and Hospitality VOL14 NO.1 JUNE 2017 143-154 Is Islam with or against Tourism? Halal Tourism Perception; Definition and Requirements Maryam Taha Mannaa Assistant Professor, History and Islamic Civilization Department, College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Sharjah, Sharjah, UAE Lecturer, Tourism Studies Department, Faculty of Tourism and Hotels, Alexandria University, Alexandria, Egypt Abstract: Although, Halal tourism is generally linked in research with travel conducted by Muslims, this is the first research to verify the religious judgment of tourism in Islam as per Quran and Sunnah, being the main resources for Islamic shariah (law). Travel and hospitality projects are facing a problem which is the lack of standardization in the Halal tourism industry. The term Halal tourism carries a lot of interpretations and confusion in research. After the remarkable increase in the number of Muslim travellers, there is an urgent need for a global agreement on what constitutes Halal tourism. This paper helps to define clearly what is considered Halal and to set some rules and regulations for reference. This paper is of a conceptual base with a goal of building a clearer theory of Halal Tourism and its requirements. The study depends on secondary information .And ends up with some recommendations of practical use for tourism suppliers. Key words: Halal Tourism; Religious Tourism; Muslims; Shari‘ah. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. Introduction It is anticipated that the Muslim population will reach 26.5% of the world‘s population by 2030 (MasterCard and CrescentRating, 2016). The majority of the Muslim population are from some of the fastest developing economies such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Turkey and the Gulf countries.

    About the Author S

    About the Author S. Swaminathan, was born in Pudukottai, Tamilnadu in 1940. After professionally qualifying in Mechanical Engineering, he worked in Indian Institute of Technology - Delhi for more than 30 years and retired as Professor of Mechanical Engineering,. As a serious teacher he has attempted a number of experiments in teaching, like no-classroom teaching and holistic approach to engineering disciplines. In his view the thrust of the science and technology establishment should be towards helping the ‘poorest of the poor’. His research and development activities were primarily in this direction. He is also a social activist and participates in socially relevant projects. He worked in Centre for Rural Development in IIT Madras, Bharath Gyan Vigyan Samithy, Delhi as the National Coordinator for watershed development and Integrated Rural Technology Centre, Palakkad, Kerala. Holding to his belief that technology must be human-centred and that there exists a cultural route to development, he even taught a course titled ‘Art and Technology’ at Indian Institute of Technology-Delhi along with a colleague of his. Realising that Indian youth have an inadequate understanding of our heritage, and consequently lack a sense of identity, Prof Swaminathan decided to acquaint the students of IIT Delhi with various aspects of our culture. Not being an expert in the field, he found, may sometimes be an advantage, as audience are not put off by jargon, and interact with the speaker in an uninhibited manner. The topics included Indian music, Sanskrit, ancient Tamil literature, Tamil prosody, development of scripts, Gandhian philosophy, etc. He has made a very detailed study of Ajanta paintings.

[1][2] It is commonly found among Hindus of the Indian Subcontinent, in some Southeast Asian countries, and diaspora from these regions. [3][4] Namaste is spoken with a slight bow and hands pressed together, palms touching and fingers pointing upwards, thumbs close to the chest. This gesture is called Añjali Mudr ā or Pranamasana .[5] In Hinduism it means "I bow to the divine in you". [3][6] Namaste or namaskar is used as a respectful form of greeting, acknowledging and welcoming a relative, guest or stranger. It is used with goodbyes as well. It is typically spoken and simultaneously performed with the palms touching gesture, but it may also be spoken without acting it out or performed wordlessly; all three carry the same meaning. This cultural practice of salutation and valediction originated in the Indian A Mohiniattam dancer making a subcontinent.[7] Namaste gesture Contents 1 Etymology, meaning and origins 2 Uses 2.1 Regional variations 3 See also 4 References 5 External links Etymology, meaning and origins Namaste (Namas + te, Devanagari: नमः + ते = नमे) is derived from Sanskrit and is a combination of the word "Nama ḥa " and the enclitic 2nd person singular pronoun " te ".[8] The word " Nama ḥa " takes the Sandhi form "Namas " before the sound " t ".[9][10] Nama ḥa means 'bow', 'obeisance', 'reverential salutation' or 'adoration' [11] and te means 'to you' (dative case).

    Dhananjay-Celibacy-Questions-And

    http://en.allexperts.com/q/CelibacyAbstinence3564/ *** Question Hello Sir, Suppose an adolescent gets caught in pornography's trap and gets addicted to mas turbation in his late teens and early twenties. Does his continued indulgence in troduce demoniac entities into his gross body? Also, when he hugs his parents, d oes the bad karma get transferred to parents (or anyone else he interacts with) also? How can one develop sufficient strength and will power to completely eliminate s uch tendencies, which are deep rooted in one's consciousness ? Answer Hello Amit, Hope you are keeping well. Coming to the answers, Demonic entities are astral in nature and hence invade the astral body. Indulgin g in pornography and masturbation drains the body of positive Prana and thus att racts decay, degeneration and negative energies. This results in corrupting the mind, body and the psyche and thus leads to overall downfall in every sphere of life. Since negative entities associate themselves with negative acts, long indu lgence in porn related activities does make one come under the influence of nega tive tendencies and entities. Hugging a person cannot transfer one's karma to the other under normal circumsta nces. However, as in the case of constant association, the vibrations given out by a person affect the minds of those around him or her. We feel positive and di vine in the company of the pious and virtuous and become negative in the company of wicked and evil people. Success in attaining a pure state of mind comes after a long time based on one's past karma further to constant efforts, determination and honesty in the practi ce of virtue and purity.
