Shahada (Profession of Faith)

One of the reasons for the success of the expansion of Islam was the simplicity of its message, which is transmitted in the concept of Shahada:

“There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is his messenger.”

These are the words to pronounce by anyone who intends to convert to Islam. Let us remember that the apostasy is severely punished in the Islam.

Sharifa Al Harthy (Oman), the Vice Chairperson of the MB Holding and Director or the Charitable Foundation Mohammed Al-Barwani, is an excellent example of Zakat distribution.

PureHarvest is a fictional organic food brand based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, that produces Halal-certified juices, snacks, and dairy products. It aims to increase its market share among Muslim consumers in the Persian Gulf during Ramadan 2025, a key period for food sales due to purchases for iftar (breaking the fast) and suhur (pre-dawn meals). PureHarvest designed a campaign titled “Pure Ramadan: Nourishing the Soul and Body,” based on the Islamic values of community, generosity, and purity.

Ethical Islamic marketing avoids alcohol, pork, and provocative imagery. A 2023 Pepsi ad in Pakistan was pulled for depicting dancing, considered un-Islamic, costing $3 million in rebranding (AdAge).
