Maybe you are not a Muslim, but you need to understand that we do not take these things lightly. I am glad that you are on this platform, but you should know that halal is not a joke.
For Muslims, halal is a serious matter of faith, not an exaggerated rule or a trivial preference. It is an act of obedience to Allah, just like keeping kosher is for Jews or following religious dietary laws in other faiths. It is about purity, discipline, and devotion.
However, in this video, there are clear elements of mockery, such as the references to "halal water," "halal toilet," and even questioning whether a bag is "halal." This is not genuine curiosity or an innocent mistake, it is sarcasm that belittles something sacred to us.
Allah says in the Qur’an:
"And if you ask them, they will surely say, 'We were only conversing and playing.' Say, 'Was it Allah and His verses and His Messenger that you were mocking?'" (Surah At-Tawbah 9:65-66)
There is a difference between genuine kindness and respect, and making a spectacle out of religious observance. No one is asking others to follow halal rules, but mocking them crosses the line from humor into disrespect.
A true sign of respect is understanding that someone’s religious beliefs are not something to be turned into satire, even if one does not personally follow them.
May Allah guide us all to respect and understand one another.
