Brazil, following eight months of hard work and meetings with representatives of different countries, prepared and proposed to the International Olympic Committee (IPC) a comprehensive plan on preparing Halal food for Muslim athletes during the games.<\/h4>\n<h4>The plan, which is based on the teachings of Islam and draws on the experience of the Islamic Center of Brazil over the years, includes detailed regulations on how to prepare Halal food.<\/h4>\n<h4>A Halal kitchen and eatery has been planned in the Olympic Village in Rio specifically for Muslim athletes and other members of the participating teams.<\/h4>\n<h4>Regular inspections will be made during the games to make sure that the food offered there is prepared strictly based on Halal standards.<\/h4>\n<h4>The center, headed by Hojat-ol-Islam Sheikh Talib Khazraji, has been active in promoting Islam in Brazil for some 27 years.<\/h4>\n<h3>\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full
