About Us

Our Story

Trade Halal began as a community building project to help make our Canadian Muslim community more closely knit together. Our community marketplace gives vendors of various products and services an opportunity to engage in sacred trade - fulfilling the demands in the community and pleasing God in doing so.

“O believers! Eat the good things We have provided for you and be grateful to God if it is Him you worship.” - Baqarah, 2: 173

At Trade Halal the main attraction of the marketplace is Halal food; the delights made in numerous household kitchens are posted online, right here - and you can choose your favourite dish as you like, when you like. Want Organic Cow Meat? Want Organic Milk and Eggs straight from the farm? All of these speciality items you can find on our Marketplace. 

You have the opportunity to subscribe to our emails and become a Trade Halal member. We will send you information about deals first so you can be served first. Or, you can see our Daily Deals page and know what’s cooking in the kitchen today - not one kitchen, but numerous kitchens! Powerful isn’t it. From the Indian/Pakistani Curries to Turkish Kababs to Middle Eastern Desserts, our community has the richest variety of food, all things halal.

Then there are the services; painting, carpentry, plumbing, construction, repair and more - all services are listed on our store by various vendors.

Speaking of vendors, you can be a vendor at our marketplace too! If you are skilled, have a valuable product and are a community member - and you want to take part in halal trade here, begin with God’s name and fill the vendor signup form. Here are the vendor benefits. Begin your query now - earning Halal is of course worship.

Our earnings done in a way that pleases God increases our faith in Him and reminds us that He Alone is sufficient for us.

The prophet liked self-sufficient communities. He nurtured the faith of the believers in Medina and that seed of faith in their hearts flowered in the triumphs that Islam achieved in its earliest decades.

Much like the guiding stars for Muslims today, the earliest believers embodied mighty characters, each leaving a lasting impact. Their humility and unwavering commitment to the Muslim brotherhood forged their greatness.

In the spirit of these principles, Trade Halal emerges as a humble yet potentially impactful initiative. Originating from a handful of community members in the City of Markham, it is founded on the philosophy of connecting the local community by addressing their day-to-day needs. With a vision to extend this endeavour to Muslims across Canada, Trade Halal aspires to embody the values of unity, care, and shared prosperity within the broader Muslim community.

We encourage our brothers and sisters to take part in this era of productivity, yet do exactly that for the sake of Allah so that the meaning behind all of our actions becomes a truly motivating force.

We believe that love shall heal the world. Loving the iIslamic ideals and carrying out its beautiful and rigorous commandments of trade daily will make us accountable in our own eyes and will have a rippling effect of positivity and spread.

Allah says: “If what you eat is Halal and pure. I will protect you.”

So, let us be in His protection. Take part in this initiative of a Muslim’s Marketplace. Make it work. Let us be strong and decisive like our ancestors.

Onward and upward - with God’s will under the Prophet Muhammad’s flag of truth, beauty and community building! - with Trade Halal.
