Category: Comfort Zone

Home is not merely a physical space but a sanctuary that holds the essence of our lives. It is where we find solace, create lasting memories, and experience a sense of belonging. Within the walls of our homes, every room becomes a chapter in our personal story, filled with laughter, tears, and the countless moments that shape us. As I reflect upon my own home, I am reminded of the deep appreciation I have developed for this haven of warmth and security. It is a place where I am free to be myself, surrounded by the comforts and familiarity that ground me in an ever-changing world.

A Place I Call Home

The home is much more than four walls and a roof. It’s a sanctuary, a haven of peace and tranquility where one can be their authentic self, free from the outside world’s judgment and pressures. It’s a canvas painted with memories, filled with familiar objects, each holding a story, a scent, a moment frozen in time. To me, home is a warm embrace after a long day, a place to make and enjoy a comforting meal, to gather with loved ones, to celebrate, grieve, grow and learn.

The architecture of my home, the details, colors, and textures all speak a language unique to my family and me. Each room houses a different part of our lives, filled with laughter and tears, dreams and heartbreaks, victories and defeats. The kitchen, with its aroma of freshly baked cookies or simmering soup, is where we gather to nourish our bodies and spirits. The living room, adorned with our favorite books, artwork, and photos, is a testament to our shared experiences and unique journeys.

My room, my personal retreat, reflects my evolving self. The posters that line the walls narrate my changing interests and passions. The desk, littered with papers and books, is a testament to my academic pursuits and insatiable curiosity. The window overlooks our modest backyard, where the seasons change like a live painting – a riot of colors in the fall, a barren spectacle in the winter, a rebirth in the spring, and a lush canvas in the summer. The window has witnessed countless daydreams and introspective evenings as I navigated my adolescence and ventured into adulthood.

Appreciation Towards My Home

Over time, I have come to appreciate my home in new and profound ways. As I have grown older, I have realized that home is not just a physical location, but a concept that shapes our identity and our view of the world. It’s the root that grounds us, providing a sense of stability and continuity amidst life’s many changes and challenges.

I don’t take lightly the privilege of having a secure home. I am deeply grateful for the safety and comfort my home provides. It stands firm against storms, shields us from the harsh winter chill, and provides cool relief in the blazing summer heat. It is a place where I can find solace in solitude or joy in companionship. It offers a space to heal, to create, to celebrate and to mourn.

Moreover, the pandemic years heightened my appreciation of home. It served as a protective shell, keeping us safe when the world outside was in turmoil. We adapted and transformed spaces within our home to suit our evolving needs, turning corners into home offices, living rooms into gyms, and backyards into social hubs. The walls of our home absorbed the echoes of our life in lockdown – the Zoom calls, the indoor workout sessions, the virtual parties, and the endless Netflix marathons.

The warmth of my home is also in its inhabitants, my family. Our shared history, mutual understanding, and unconditional love for each other make the walls of our home reverberate with life and affection. The hearty laughter during family game nights, the quiet whispers of late-night conversations, and the shared meals on a Sunday afternoon all contribute to the irreplaceable homely feeling.

Conclusion

In conclusion, home is more than just a physical dwelling; it is an intricate tapestry woven with threads of love, memories, and gratitude. It is a place that encapsulates our personal narratives and reflects our unique journeys. Standing at the threshold of my home, I am overwhelmed with a deep appreciation for the comfort, safety, and stability it provides.

Home has been a steadfast companion throughout the seasons of my life, witnessing my growth, triumphs, and moments of vulnerability. It is a place where I can retreat from the chaotic outside world, enveloped in a warm embrace that whispers, “You are safe here.” Within these walls, I have laughed until my stomach ached, shed tears in moments of heartache, and celebrated milestones that have shaped my identity.

But beyond the physical attributes, a home’s intangible aspects truly make it a cherished haven. The love and support of my family, the shared experiences, and the unwavering sense of belonging create an environment that nourishes my soul. The walls resonate with the echoes of laughter, the fragrance of home-cooked meals, and the warmth of heartfelt conversations.

In the grand tapestry of life, home is the central thread that weaves together our memories, dreams, and gratitude. It is a treasure to be cherished and nurtured, for it holds the essence of who we are and where we come from. As I look toward the future, I know that no matter where my journey leads, I will always carry a profound appreciation for the place I call home.

As humans, we always adapt to our routines, as they are comfortable and reliable. We all have a zone of anxiety which when activated, boosts up our performance. It is in this state, our mind can think out of the box and create a steady level of performance. Stepping out of the comfort zone to push ourselves to accomplish the next level is quite hard. But this is not something new to us as humans, in every success story there is are instances where people push themselves to succeed. And also keep in mind that if we push our brain too much it causes anxiety, and too much of anxiety will cause stress and less productivity and creativity. It is our impulse to return to our comfort zone, if things get harder on us. Most of us in reality, be it personal or professional careers; we learn to grow and downside face situations outside our comfort zones and we tend to discourage ourselves and adapt to the ones which we feel is easy. The CEO of IBM – Ginni Rometty has once said “Growth and comfort don’t co-exist. That’s true for people, companies, nations,’. We always feel like we are taken away the crucial and strategical things from our life like – authenticity, competency levels, morality, likability and many more. It is in the Hidden Brain: The Edge Effect podcast, the author talks about the questions human beings in general have. We often question – How people work together apart from the differences we have in ethnicity, creed, caste, language and many other things too? What usually happens when strangers meet and how exactly does that help in sparking the creative thoughts? I tried searching answers for questions like this in my life personally, because as an individual it is easy to understand through experiences than just learning from another person’s life. So, I happened to go through my past and list out the events where I had to walk out of my comfort zone to cross out the odds in my life and make something useful out of it. I remember reading about a poem in my eight grade – “Road not taken” by Robert Frost in 1915, when he first provided the blueprint for the poem. It is said in the poem that “Two roads diverged in a wood and I chose the one less travelled – and that has made all the difference “. The same thing has happened in my life too, I had to choose among the different groups in my Bachelors after my high school and had few options to pick. I had Computer Science, Electronic Science subjects in which I knew many people to guide me through – my family and friends. But I always had my interests in another subject – Civil Engineering. Many advised me not go with that option because it was mostly for boys and men to work, since it would require more strength (literally) and hard work. But I wasn’t ready to give up and I worked hard enough to successfully get my degree in my favorite subject. There were many such situations where I had to step out of my comfort zone to make my wishes come true. In all these cases, I figured something of the other which turned advantageous for me.

I want to mention another most recent experience where I had to completely change and adapt to a new ecosystem. It was when I was moving from India to United States of America, to pursue my Master’s Degree here. It is not that I had to step out of the comfort zone, it is that I had no idea how the culture here would embrace me and how I would get along with other differences. I have air travelled for almost 9000 air miles to a completely different Continent with obviously different time zones. I have observed so many differences of that to my place. If I can list out a few, they would be food, dress, culture, time zone (11 hours 30 minutes difference from here to India), etiquettes, education, religion, weather. I had a shift in all of these attributes, of course we always thrive to search options that can help our growth, I have searched mine. But figuring that I have to take up all of these even before coming to US made things a little complicated. I was always a lazy person, where my parents helped me with everything possibly they could. When I moved in here, I had no one to depend on except for me. Initially, I was scared, that I might end up doing mistakes that would affect my Education and my parents, because they stood with me, against all the odds. I was in a kind of transition zone, where all things seemed new to me. As I have mentioned a list above, like all the differences, which resulted in an odd kind of feeling (maybe I can say that I was far gone from my comfort zone). I had this fear of making new mistakes, which might cost me more than just the money and time but also the courage to step out of my safe zone and fail myself is shaping my personality based on my mistakes. I have got an opportunity to see the means to success just in front of me and how I could get the best out of it, to make my life creative. I always had this feeling that people here could not understand my accent for some reason, and that I might face some difficulties, but once I started talking with people around me that made me comfortable. With this being my first step, I understood that a person must know of their true potential qualities. When we think of creativity, we see so many changes around us happening, in like just the blink of an eye. However, creativity has been valued through ages, and why do you think creativity matters? For instance, consider the great arts by painters like Pablo, Picasso that were valued that high. It is not the oil paints or brushes that are expensive, it is the innovation and creativity in their vision that attracted people in buying the paintings and made them antiques. So more or less, creativity has got its ways to have the impact on the things happening across the globe. In my case, I used my creativity and experiences to adapt to the new atmosphere around me and I can successfully say that I have made friends here, who are ready to help me and also my professors too to support me in my career. I have had enough experiences over here that has helped me mold myself to the person I am today. I feel I have the courage to understand the spin of situations around me and act according to it. I am confident enough that I can talk to people and get the answers I need. And also, that I will graduate with my Master’s degree and will do the best I can for my personal life and the professional career too.

This part of the paper reflects mostly about motivation and its impact on humans, both personally and professionally. The author from The Eureka Factor (Beeman, 2015) , talks about being motivated and how that helps people know their next step in future. This is the place where a person cannot be selfish, sharing insights with the other person and help them in achieving success through your motivation gives you immense joy and satisfaction and I can proudly say that from my own personal experiences. In this particular book, the author, talks about different types of motivation and how they influence the environment. Also, different stories which explain them even better. The different types of motivation – Being specific on the objects what you need, Emphasis on individual aspect, which is again classified to two more- prevention and promotion. On reading the examples given in the book to explain the insights of creativity and motivation, I remember a few which my mother spoke about. It reminds me of my mother narrating a story, where a man with two horses travelling come across another person. And then the first person wanted to take rest and got to know that he has got only one rope, with which he can tie only one horse. Then, the second person advises this first person to tie one horse with a rope and make sure that second horse sees it too and then act like he has tied the second one too (but no rope). And to the man’s surprise, the second horse also behaved like it was tied. The lesson that my mother tried to explain me was, looking at things around us, we confine ourselves in doing it the way something already is. That is exactly what the author in the book talks about – functional fixedness. We have been talking about this since the beginning of this class and how this impacts the creativity in us and how we constraint ourselves in our brains and fail to do the best for us. When it comes to my personal and professional life, I think there is always a conflict between what my brain wants and what my heart wants, and there lies all the difference. I would consider motivation as something which pushes me on the urge of fighting that war. I always had and have this feeling of standing out of everybody, at the start I didn’t know how this is going to happen but I always knew that I will develop the courage to make this true. It was my parents who always had my back and advised me in everything I did. Every human needs some kind of motivation to succeed in their life, be it small or big. It was my parent’s financial conditions that made me realize that days do not stay the same and how they fought against those odds, always made me feel that I should always work hard and should always take care of my parents. Till today, I have never stopped thinking of this and always wanted to do my best to make my parents proud. And this is not the only aspect that motivates me, I always thrive to protect the environment as a Civil Engineer. Since the beginning I always spoke about how I can do my part of saving the environment. For this to come true, I will have to work hard in my studies so that I can be in a position where I can make an impactful difference in the society. A small incident reflected while I was writing this point, in my childhood (6th grade), whenever I found trash, I used to pick it and put in the side pocket of my bag to throw that away later, so people used to taunt me for that. In some way that trait has amplified over time. There are always different kinds of motivations, it need not be about success in professional life every time. I never used to cook back there in India (except for stuff like boiling eggs, cooking rice), but when I moved here I started cooking almost everything in my home which made realize that things do not stay the same and they change over time. This is what happens when I compare to things that motivated me 10 years ago and now. I am 24 years old now, so when I think of things that motivated me there a quite a huge number of differences. 10 years back from today, probably I was more into sports because that was my profession at the that time. It was mostly school and practice, so I had different set of motivation when it comes to sports. So, motivation depends on what we want to see and do rather than defining it on standard basis. Often, motivating a single person is different from motivating a group of people. The group dynamic keeps changing and the methods adapted to motivate them also need to be changed with time and situation. Creating a friendly work environment is a starting point to get people open up. This helps them to come together as a team and pool up their ideas. Constructive criticism and a healthy competitive spirit are often seen in negative light but delivered in a right way, help in improving the quality of the work done by the employees. Setting up flexible deadlines with ample time for brainstorming, is also a key way to motivate people, to put their maximum effort to work. Welcome all the ideas, praise and critique whenever needed. Find out what motivates the team by organizing workshops, to give a refresher on the workplace etiquette. It can be done by asking simple questions like “what makes them get out of their bed?” and figure out the ways to improve their skills and motivate them based on their responses.

When it comes to a question like does deadlines hinder or enhance creativity? I would prefer to say that deadlines help to draw outlines for the work to be done. Having a deadline for major part of work like completion of project or quarterly meetings will be beneficial to achieve goals. They build confidence and inculcate the sense of punctuality in work environment. But setting deadlines does not tip in favor of improving creativity in work. With the project end time hanging like a shadow over the employees, it will turn work into race rather than being productive and creative. Most of the times, employees tend to reach the deadline and get done with the work without thinking about the quality of work. It might start “good enough” attitude in the employees which will move them away from going through their work and making relevant changes to make it better. This will undermine the quality of work done at the workplace.

I’m sure that many of you would have heard this phrase countless times throughout your life. There are days you have to get out of your comfort zone and do the things that you want to be recognized. But, not all occasions deserve the phrase to get out of your comfort zone.

It was the first time; I have been told to get out of your comfort zone when I objected to the unfairness of the listening test. The lecturer mentioned this phrase when my lack of hearing would not help me in the examination. On the day of the exam, she said she would read, and I would have to listen (lip-reading involved) and write. Again, people, lip-reading, and writing do not go together.

You can either focus on lip reading or writing. In the lecture, I used to lip read and only note down the keywords when the lecturer stops talking. The lecturer at my university has been remarkable. Before I begin doing their modules or courses, they come to me personally and ask how they can accommodate me and what can they do if I don’t follow them. In the end, they questioned if everything was okay and if I was able to understand them. I personally felt so happy that they would go out of their way to make one student feel comfortable in their class. A privilege that I did not have at school. It was more catered towards the majority of the students who ranked better.

When I bought up the incident with the head of the department about the unfair situation, I had many lecturers who praised me for coming out to talk about the situation. I had another lecturer, who backed me up saying that lip reading and writing do not go together. I have always seen her lip-reading she would only note them down when I stop talking.

There are boundaries where you tell a person to get out of your comfort zone. I have known countless of Deaf people who have come out of the box in which people put them in, and achieve the extraordinary. They would have to go through a tough phase and trails to get into a remarkable position.

There are multiple ways we, as Deaf people, have come out of our comfort zone. We learned to talk, attend a mainstream school, participated in competitions, moved out of the house, and attended college or university. To you, this may seem ordinary, but it is the people who know the struggle would celebrate these milestones. The outlook we show in society is a different story, but there are countless decisions made within family members in the house. They are always trying to see if there is any other way that would make our life easier.

If you were to put yourself in my shoes, I was a person who was very conscious about my speech and cry at random times. I have come out of my comfort zone by attending a mainstream school, interacting with people, moved out of my own house temporarily. Today, I have always chosen the option of giving my presentation orally in front of the class when there are accommodations for a deaf student to handover a written transcript. It is up to them to address it in front of the room. I delivered my icebreaker at the public speaking club at the university.

Before telling the phrase, ‘get out of your comfort zone’ to a person, it can either be deaf or hearing. Please do consider the background story of that particular person rather than harping about coming out of your comfort zone because it was easy for you. Different people have different stories.

Desperate for the loo? You do not have to get down and dirty in the wild! All you need do is get into a comfort station and get relieved! It is a natural call for each and everyone to ease their body of the processed result of food intake, which could be by either urinating or defecating. Having understood that visiting the toilet is a natural call peculiar to everyone, comfortable structures where individuals can ease themselves whenever nature calls should be a priority next to providing water for a community. It is expedient to know that a comfort station is always built solely for public use,

A comfort station is a place, usually, a limited-access highway where one eases its body, it could either be a whole building or a room filled with flush toilet facilities such as wash hand basin, water system and lavatory facilities.

The primitive comfort station differs to the modernized own, in that, the toilet facilities in a primitive comfort station does not qualify for the standard of the vast majority public health agencies. In contrast, a comfort station in a modernized age adopts the recommendation by using effluent chemical sterilization of sewage while the primitive comfort station uses a natural process of sewage disposal. The primitive comfort stations were constructed with necessity in mind considering privacy

Most comfort stations are big, while some aren’t in some areas when you say a comfort station, what comes to mind is a grandeur building that makes travellers or people in a working community comfortable. In this scenario, we can picture a big building usually tagged a station with a restroom or rooms as the case may be, well-equipped toilet and water facilities. On the other hand, some play stations are just what can be tagged as a public toilet, that is, the only available facility for comfortability is the toilet closet and the wash hand basin for rinsing your hand after using the toilet.

Comfort station can be used in various context, in Milton, Oregon and Massachusetts; it is used as a milder term for a public toilet, some, however, use it as a euphemism for a brothel. Comfort station in another context is a washroom, a room most suitable for washing hands and face. It can as well be a location with a plumbing fixture for defecation and urination.

Comfort stations are strategically situated at centre of people attraction that is places where people visit often and where it can be easily accessed. There shouldn’t be any controversy as to the accessibility of a comfort station when comfort stations are part of building housing several other facilities, direct outside entrance should be provided. A tedious access to a comfort station might as well imply availability only to the crème la crème of the environment, if a comfort station is intended for public usage there should be no concession to its availability.

The important practical need of proper hygiene implies the first need of strict adherence to the rules; laws and regulatory provisions of the managing authority of the specific comfort station; beyond this are other practical and beauty and attraction considerations, which may not be disregarded. The importance of smooth and impervious materials for the floor, walls, dismemberment and other such interior surfaces is not to be minimized. Ease of cleaning will determine the degree of cleanliness that will prevail over the long run, pieces of equipment and materials conforming to modern-day standard should be adopted for all interior details.

The comfort station is usually incorporated in a park building which combines other facilities in the park. The structural organization of comfort stations differ, while some comfort station serves both genders under the same roof. With the arrangement of separate entrances so that each structure is reasonably remote from the other, the approaches and the entrance is usually clearly marked with “female”, “male”, “boy”, “girl” or drawings depicting which gender could access the section as the case may be, others have different buildings built for each gender, although reasonably not far from each other.

A substantial soundproof partition completely separates the toilet section for each gender. In the primitive days, the pit privies, there is a clear-cut separation of vaults serving the male gender and that of the females. When using a comfort station, you expect to share with a few other campers. A standard comfort station should be well illuminated and ventilated, the windows should be placed the eye level for privacy, or an obscured glass could be used for the window, practically, the most suitable toilet room window is hinged at the bottom to enable it open inward. Chain fastened which protects it for turbid weather, doors to the toilet should be self-closing, provided the windows are screened, the door openings should also be screened.

Comfort stations are mostly situated in parks and recreational centre, campground, market place, filling station, entertainment venues, museums, cinema. Comfort station at a campground mostly have shower areas and toilet facilities; comfort stations are built in campgrounds so people could relieve themselves with ease without loitering the camp surroundings, some comfort station in camp includes soap dispensers, dryers and washing machine, this section is most likely found in the washing section of the station

As much as comfort station is for public use, there are comfort stations built by the public, and there are those that are owned by private individuals, for comfort stations owned by private individuals, users have additional privacy and more materials for comfort. Location of comfort station determines its architectural infrastructures, for a comfort station located in freezing temperature. If at such times, it will not be heated, provisions must be made for complete drainage and all pipe fixtures, whether to make a comfort station suitable for use in a freezing temperature is largely determined by the economics of utility in the circumstances.

Cleaning and maintain a comfort station is usually performed by the attendants assigned to the job by the management of the comfort station, he or she maintain and clean facilities ensuring that the towels, toilet soap and paper are well stocked, also ensure proper usage of the facilities. In rare cases, we have volunteers offering to help clean comfort stations. Comfort station needs periodic maintenance, Expectations of most individuals while using a comfort zone is privacy, which differs, privacy to some people is that urinal partition facilities are made available, to some it is that the comfort station has cubicle doors or toilet cubicles.

The world health organization stated a standard for comfort stations which is “suitable, private, and safe to use for all intended users, taking into consideration their gender, age and physical mobility …” An ideal comfort station should take into consideration age, gender and prevention of disease transmission by installing sensor-operated fixtures such as faucets, soap, dispensers and sanitizers.

Cleanliness of a public toilet cannot be overemphasized; it is one of the essential requirements of a healthy population, so accurate is the saying that comfort stations are the most visited after religious buildings, to avoid spreading diseases, it is healthy that comfort station amenities are hygienic. Another usage of comfort zones is for those who suffer from anxiety or panic attacks and other psychological issues, to these set of people comfort stations serves as a sort of refuge, a place where they can collect their thoughts.

Another category of people that benefit from the advantage of a comfort station are homeless people, put comfort station is a place where homeless people put their things together, that is taken care of personal hygiene. Cities like Los Angeles have tried implementing stations that are more mobile for their homeless people.

Availability of comfort stations is at the attraction of national and international concerns on health and sanitation. Across board, sustainable development goals (SDGs) goal 3 and 6 focuses on “ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages” and “ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all” respectively, a step to achieve these goals is providing more comfort zone, healthy and hygienic for public utility.

Comfort stations are amazing inventions which without it, the world will be a different place, without comfort stations there would be wasting all around our neighbourhood and vicinities, comfort station is a new way of managing excreta’s and other body wastes which is a new way of eco-sanitation toilet system and environmental cleanliness.

While we are constantly taught to do what makes us happy and be where we feel comfortable, this might not be the best advice for curious, innovative young minds who are always in search of new adventures and continuous growth. Here’s why the ‘ Comfort Zone ‘ isn’t always a safe zone, and Why we should overcome it, in order to reach the ‘Growth Zone’.

01. Comfort zone keeps us stagnant, with no room for change

It makes us carry on with our regular routines every passing day, in the same way. People tend to miss out on many life-changing opportunities and challenges because they feel uncomfortable outside this comfort zone. We are afraid to think outside the limits and we restrict our ideas, plans, and new ventures in life into this comfort zone. Simply, we might miss out on numerous wonderful activities and experiences because of the inability to beat the comfort zone and take risks.

02. Makes us give up on our ambitions

Ambitions are the driving force of hardworking people. Some people have sky-high visions while some people have short-term small targets. These not-so-ambitious people settle for whatever that makes them comfortable. They settle down where they can barely survive with what they possess. They have no room for development and they never step-up their targets. While on the other hand, ambitious people are continuously seeking mental, spiritual as well as financial growth. People restricted by their comfort zones are afraid to dream big, they fear failure.

03. Takes control of our emotions

The comfort zone seizes or limits the opportunities of building new friendships, acquaintances and other relationships. The main reason for this is the incapability and dislike of embracing new environments and fear of connecting with new people. There might be many reasons which affects this; such as abusive past relationships, saddening and heartbreaking scenarios etc. However the past should not be powerful enough to stop people from moving forward in life. Therefore, we should try and overcome the past fears in order to embrace the upcoming wonders of life.

04. Limits personal development

All the above mentioned points eventually adds up to this. Being stuck in the comfort zone limits how far we think, limits our social interactions and in turn limits our wisdom. It stops us from having high-end visions and makes us settle for less. It cultivates negativity in the mind, and makes us see the impossibilities instead of the possibilities and great results.

So this is why we should try and break through our comfort zones; to achieve new heights in life, career as well as love.

This essay describes the halal lifestyle in the concept of sharia economy. Lifestyle is the life pattern of a person expressed in activities, his interests and opinions of spending his money and allocating the time it has (Sumarwan, 2011). Lifestyle encourages the attitude of one’s aktivities in meeting the needs and use of the products. With the development of Islamic values into the business world, halal becomes a world trend or halal lifestyle. Hala lifestyle enhances the development of the Islamic economy and halal industry.

In the last ten years, there has been an increase in the development of modern orienting and Islamic lifestyles in Indonesia. The development of modern-oriented lifestyle and its referring to Islamic values ​​can be seen from some phenomena such as people are increasingly critical in assessments of the halal products to be consumed, the development of Islamic finance institutions, the growth of Islamic culture, the use of hijab clothing, the emergence of Sharia hotels, the increase in the frequency of Hajj and Umrah visits, the growth of the halal cosmetics industry and the rise of Muslim entrepreneurship (Yuswohady, 2015).

In the field of production, halal is one of the limitations of producers to disburse or produce goods and services. A Muslim should avoid production practices that contain elements of haram, riba, black market and speculation (Sudarsono, 2002). Al-Quran in his word: ‘‘People who believe, actually drinking khamr, gambling, idols, and drawing lots of luck with arrows is a cruel act including the act of Satan. So stay away from these actions so that you get good luck’’ (Q.S Al-Maidah: 90). This verse gives the sence of prohibiting the production prohibited of such things as khamr, idols, and other illicit things.

Yunus al-Mashri delinched the production practice with several restrictions, which is: 1. Reproducing goods products and services that benefict to people. Thus, it is illegal manufacture of dirt can harm reason, soul, and body. The goods and services produced from production practices must benefit mankind and contribute to their happiness. 2. Production priorities are on the products and services that areneed in human being’s the primary (Dharuriyat). If the primary needs are met, then produce secondary items (Hajiyat), and after that the tertiary goods (Tahsiniyat) (Yunus, 1993). In the field of consumption, halal is important to principle that must be obeyed the consumers as well as other. Islam has determined three principles in consumption, which is: the principle of consumption of halal goods, consumption of holy and clean goods, and the principle of not excessive. The Al-Quran has reminded people to eat good food that Allah SWT has bestowed on humans. Them is the word of Allah SWT which means: ‘‘Eat halal food that is good (tayyib) from your sustenance, and fear the Allah you have faith in him’’ (Sharif, 2012).

The concept of halal lifestyle is simple, because something halal is definitely good, clear, and healthy. If we consume the halal, then we gain the good and be spared the badness. Currently there are many sectors support the application of the halal lifestyle, such as: fashion, beverage food, traveler halal, and use of cosmetics and medicine.
