Abstract

Kullu Halal (all Halal) is a concept that is highly applied in the Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) region as the majority of the population is Muslim. Many products from non-Muslim countries are also exported to the MENA countries and some of them are exposed to animal-based ingredients. Halal certification studies in the MENA region are found to be quite minimal to non-existent. The paper is designated to analyze the effects of Halal certification towards the purchase intention of Muslim consumers on food products from Muslim majority countries in the MENA countries. Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) was used as a platform to predict the consumers’ intention to purchase the Halal certified products. A self-administered questionnaire was selected as a method and the respondents are the Muslim consumers living in certain areas of Klang Valley, Malaysia. Five hundred questionnaires were distributed, and 417 questionnaires were considered usable. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used as a method in this research. Attitude, Subjective Norm, and Perceived Behavioral Control showed a strong correlation with Purchase Intention and the results were statistically significant at p < 0.05. Algeria was found to be the least trustworthy country by the respondents, followed by Iran, Lebanon, Iraq, and Bahrain. The results indicate that the presence of Halal certification is important and will be profitable for the food industry players in the MENA region. Despite being Muslim majority countries, it is important to ensure the presence of Halal certification in the products from MENA countries, especially from those that received low scores in the country of origin study.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of Islamic educational institutions in strengthening national education within the multicultural society of Rahtawu, Muria Kudus. This research employed a qualitative approach. The data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation involving religious leaders, community leaders, educators, and residents of Rahtawu Village, Kudus. The data were then analyzed using the interactive model proposed by Miles and Huberman, which consists of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that Islamic educational institutions strengthen national values through religious education, character building, and various social activities that promote tolerance, mutual cooperation, and social responsibility. In addition, local wisdom traditions, such as sedekah bumi, barikan, and bodo contong, serve as important means of fostering social cohesion, religious moderation, and multicultural awareness. The study reveals that the interaction between Islamic educational values and local traditions creates an inclusive educational environment that supports national unity and peaceful coexistence. This research contributes to the understanding of Islamic education as not only a religious learning space but also a social institution that actively shapes civic identity in multicultural communities.
