Values

Faith: is a word that means "trust", "credibility". The first and most important pillar of Islam rests on the testimony of faith (the shahadah), which is the belief that there is only one deity worthy of worship, and that is Allah (God), and the testimony that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of God be upon him) is His servant and messenger.

Testemunho que só existe uma divindade digna de adoração e testemunho que Mohamad é Seu servi e mensageiro

The testimony of faith is arguably the most important aspect of the religion of Islam, upon which the entire religion is built. In Islam, no worship should be directed to anyone else except Allah. It is a way of life in which a person obeys and worships the commands of Allah and no one else.

Respect: not to discriminate, offend or prevent a person from making their own choices. Just as it is an obligation of every Muslim, we at FAMBRAS HALAL respect all cultures, religions, ethnicities and other individualities related to others.

Impartiality: FAMBRAS HALAL is responsible for the impartiality of its certification activities and does not allow commercial, financial or other pressures to compromise the impartiality of its staff.

Commitment and Integrity: FAMBRAS HALAL is committed to guarantee legal products, safe, continuous improvement of its services and Halal certificates to the world muslim community and to all of those who wish to consume honest and quality products.

Honesty and Transparency: Quality of being true: not to lie, not to fraud, not to deceive, not to omit, not to dissimulate and to be clear in your words and attitudes. These are indispensable characteristics for FAMBRAS HALAL, both with its employees and customers.
