About HMS
When you choose halal, you are trusting that someone has checked it properly. That is exactly what we do at Halal Monitoring Service. We are a halal certification body that checks food, products, and the businesses that make them.
Our job is simple to explain but very important. We make sure that anything labelled “halal” truly follows Islamic rules at every step, and not just on paper.
Guided by knowledge you can trust
Halal Monitoring Service was founded by Dr. Mufti Qasim Zia, a respected Islamic scholar with deep knowledge of Shariah. His guidance shapes everything we do. Every decision we make is based on clear Islamic rulings, so you can feel sure that our checks are honest, careful, and correct.
We believe trust is earned, not claimed. That is why we do not simply hand out a certificate and walk away. We stay involved and keep checking, so the halal promise stays true over time.
How our certification works
We keep our process clear and open. Here is exactly how a business earns the HMS halal certificate:
The business applies.
Any business that wants to be certified sends us an application to get started.
Our inspectors visit in person.
A trained HMS inspector goes to the site and checks things with their own eyes, not just through paperwork.
We review everything against Shariah.
We look closely at the products and the way they are made, to be sure each step follows Islamic halal rules.
We issue the halal certificate.
Once a business passes every check, we approve it and give it the official HMS halal certificate.
We list them for the public to see.
Every approved business is added to our website, so anyone can check and confirm that their halal status is real.
That last step matters a lot. It means you never have to just take a shop’s word for it — you can look it up yourself, any time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Short answers to the questions people most often ask.
What does "halal certified by HMS" actually mean?
It means our trained inspectors have visited the business in person, checked the products and the way they are made, and confirmed that every step follows Islamic halal rules. Only then do we issue the certificate.
How can I check if a business is really certified?
Every approved business is listed on our website. You can search the list yourself at any time and confirm the halal status directly, rather than relying on a sign or a claim.
Do you keep checking after a business is approved?
Yes. We do not certify once and walk away. We stay involved and carry out ongoing checks, so standards stay high and the halal promise stays true over time.
How does a business apply for HMS certification?
The business simply sends us an application to begin. From there, our team guides you through each step — the inspection, the Shariah review, and the certificate — and explains everything clearly along the way.
