The CBD market has grown saturated and competitive over time, but the team at HalalCBD have discovered a unique and innovative method to enter the market in order to provide plant-based wellness to an audience where cannabis has been thought of as “haram” (or unlawful).
The packaging of HalalCBD products indicates that they are THC-free and Halal certified. In fact, they are the first CBD company to go through the rigorous process with the guidance of the AHF (American Halal Foundation) in order to be certified. CBD has grown in popularity among Muslims, who make up 24% of the world’s population.
HalalCBD was founded with a clear purpose: To establish a new plant-based standard for individuals that adhere to a Halal dietary lifestyle. With the highest quality and standard ensured, the company is introducing the first Halal Certified CBD brand. Natural ingredients, locally grown hemp, and 100 percent made in the USA.
If you haven’t heard the term “CBD” before, it is a compound that is derived from the hemp plant that offers natural healing benefits without the intoxicating effects found in Marijuana. Studies show that CBD is known to help manage daily stress, inflammation, support clarity, focus, healthy sleeping habits and impart a feeling of relaxation and calmness.
CEO and Founder Fareed Syed’s own experience with CBD inspired him to focus on product originality and quality. Being a Muslim entrepreneur, he has continuously sought for methods to improve other people’s lives.
After learning about the benefits of CBD, he was inspired to look for answers — can hemp be halal? What does it imply for wellness products? What about natural alternatives to traditional medicine? He discovered how crucial the quality of ingredients and production might be, especially when considering what it means to be halal certified.

He believes it’s the responsibility of the younger generations to educate their elders and conservative members in the community about plant-based wellness, while adhering to Halal and Islamic standards.
The most common question the HalalCBD team gets is “How is your CBD Halal?!”
There are three distinct features that set them apart from the competition:
- Manufacturing process: Although traditional manufacturing processes within the hemp industry may be thorough, Halal products must undergo rigorous procedures and adhere to additional manufacturing practices & SOPs in order to comply with Halal standards.
- Ingredients: Ingredients are a major factor when it comes to manufacturing CBD and halal products. When Halal products are created, every ingredient’s origin and manufacturing processes are audited to ensure the highest quality while following Halal standards.
- Halal Certification: In order for a product to be truly considered Halal, a company must receive approval and certification from a verified and accredited organization.
With over 1.9 billion Muslims in the world and the rapidly growing Halal industry, HalalCBD has set out to expand internationally as well. HalalCBD was established less than 10 months ago, and it is now available in the United States, India, France, United Kingdom, Sweden, and Denmark.
HalalCBD is a company that believes in the health benefits of cannabinoids. As a result, they have decided to offer free samples of their gummies in order to expand the availability of CBD to a new demographic of consumers.
Fareed is proud that his brand provides plant-based alternatives to Muslims all around the world. With the Halal certification, he is confident that the Muslim community will be interested in learning more about cannabis and hemp products. After all, the aim of ‘HalalCBD’ is to lead the discussion, discredit cannabis stigma, and make their products readily accessible to Muslims worldwide.
