Learning about Islam

Where to begin?

Across the internet there is an abundance of information regarding Islam and its teachings. It is important to make sure that the source of information is correct and reflects the true teachings of Islam accurately. We have put a few sources below which cover the basics of the Islamic creed and a few links which are more advanced and meant for those seeking academic level information. If you're someone who isn't familiar with Islam at all and you want to start somewhere, it is recommended to take a look at the Islamic pamphlets link, available in both Czech and English.

Halal food in the Czech Republic

Finding halal food in the Czech Republic isn't easy if you live outside of Prague or Brno. This is because Muslims are a tiny minority, mainly concentrated in the big cities. In Olomouc, we supply halal meat directly from a certified halal butcher in Brno (more details about ordering meat can be found on this page). To find out more about halal as a general concept, head over to this page for more details. Many fast food kebab shops claim to be halal when asked but please exercise caution as there is no verifiable halal certification for these establishments.
