Abstract

This study aims to comprehensively map the knowledge landscape of Islamic finance in relation to poverty alleviation using a descriptive-quantitative bibliometric approach. The analysis is based on secondary data from the Scopus database, covering publications from 2000 to 2025. The findings indicate a consistent and significant growth in publications, reflecting increasing scholarly attention and the rising relevance of Islamic finance as a strategic instrument for poverty reduction. The intellectual structure of the field is shaped by key contributors such as Bhuiyan, A.B. and Hassan, M.K., alongside highly cited studies focusing on Islamic microfinance and social finance models. Major publication outlets, including the International Journal of Ethics and Systems and the Journal of Islamic Accounting and Business Research, play a central role in disseminating research, while institutions from Malaysia—particularly the International Islamic University Malaysia—dominate the landscape. At the country level, Malaysia and Indonesia emerge as leading contributors, highlighting the prominence of Southeast Asia. Thematic analysis reveals a strong concentration on core topics such as poverty alleviation, development, Islamic microfinance, and zakat, indicating a shift toward more applied and evidence-based research. Overlay visualization shows a transition from early technical and operational studies to more recent work emphasizing sustainability, policy, and governance, especially within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, density analysis suggests that emerging areas such as Islamic fintech, accessibility, and global institutional perspectives remain underexplored. The field is undergoing consolidation and gradual transformation. While its core structure is well established, gaps remain in integrating Islamic commercial and social finance and in advancing technology-driven research, offering significant opportunities for future studies.

Abstract

This study aims to assess the conformity of implementing the Halal Product Assurance System (HPAS) in micro-scale school canteen enterprises that have already obtained halal certification. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach using monitoring and evaluation (M&E) methods within a case study design. Data were collected through triangulation techniques, including semi-structured interviews with halal persons in charge, direct observation of production processes and facilities, examination of HPAS documentation, and completion of the Internal Audit Checklist in accordance with Appendix 16 of the HPAS Manual. Data analysis was conducted using a descriptive qualitative method to identify the level of substantive and administrative compliance with HPAS requirements. The findings indicate that the implementation of HPAS in the school canteen has been substantively well established, particularly in aspects related to raw materials, halal product processes, and product control, with no major non-conformities identified that could affect the halal status of the products. Nevertheless, weaknesses remain in administrative and documentation aspects, such as the absence of documented halal policies, unclear job descriptions for halal supervisors, undocumented written procedures for halal product processes, and the lack of systematic recording of materials and monitoring activities. All identified findings are categorized as minor and administrative in nature, which are commonly encountered in micro-scale enterprises. Accordingly, this study recommends the gradual and proportionate strengthening of HPAS documentation, capacity building for business actors through halal guidance and training, and the implementation of documented internal audits and management reviews to enhance the sustainability of HPAS implementation. These findings contribute empirical insights to the development of a contextualized HPAS coaching and mentoring model for education-based micro enterprises.   Keywords: Halal Product Assurance System (HPAS); Micro Enterprises; School Canteens; Monitoring and Evaluation
