Abstract

The International Community Service held in Brunei Darussalam occurred at the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia in Bandar Seri Begawan, targeting Indonesian micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) entrepreneurs residing there. This event was organized in collaboration with the Association of Indonesian Accounting Lecturers (ADAI), the Indonesian Community Association, and the Indonesian Muslim Entrepreneurs Association. The main objective was to unify perspectives on addressing pressing halal issues and enhancing MSME competitiveness through halal certification. Featuring knowledge-sharing sessions themed "Strategies for Enhancing MSME Competitiveness through Halal Certification: Challenges and Opportunities," the event occurred on September 18, 2024, and attracted 150 participants from 40 universities across Indonesia, both online and in person. The implementation method employed a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) approach and in-depth interviews, including training on strategies to improve MSME competitiveness through halal certification, obtaining halal certification, and identifying challenges and opportunities. Activities included preparing the team, introducing topics, summarizing discussions, analyzing data, and assessing the feasibility of qualifying MSMEs. The FGD and training materials cover the halal certification process, benefits, compliance with Islamic law, and strategies to improve MSME competitiveness at the international level and understand the differences in halal certification and product labelling between Indonesia and Brunei.

Abstract

In today's era, various business sectors are developing rapidly. Not only is information technology booming, but other business sectors are also expanding. One such sector is entrepreneurship. However, currently, fostering interest in entrepreneurship among the public, particularly among students, is very difficult due to a lack of knowledge and the lack of opportunities to start a business. In fact, entrepreneurship is expected to reduce current unemployment. A graduate is required to be able to create jobs, not just look for them; this will also be useful for people who need them. The government, of course, cannot fully provide jobs due to numerous obstacles, one of which is funding. Entrepreneurship can be initiated and developed by many factors, one of which is education. Through entrepreneurship education, it is hoped that it will spark interest and increase students' curiosity about entrepreneurship, thereby developing an entrepreneurial attitude that will produce new entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurship education is expected to inspire enthusiasm for entrepreneurship, creativity, and development of new things. This provides an opportunity for students to compete for capital, which can later be used as initial capital for running a business. Entrepreneurship courses play a crucial role in fostering entrepreneurial interest, which is intended to provide students with practical experience from businesses, whether large, medium, or small. By providing students with a basic understanding of entrepreneurship, they will have the opportunity to directly engage in the world of entrepreneurship. The purpose of this study is to determine the role of entrepreneurship education in student interest in becoming entrepreneurs. The research method used is qualitative, with data collection methods including questionnaires, interviews, and observations. The targeted output is the Misykat al-Anwar Journal, a journal of Islamic and Community Studies at the Faculty of Islamic Studies (FAI) of the State Islamic University of Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (UMJ), which, God willing, will be published in November 2024.

Abstract

We will not receive God's kindness if we obey him and eat and drink from what He has commanded us to consume or from what He has made lawful. Our efforts, however, will be in futile if we disobey Him and continue to eat and drink from what is illegal. When we discuss halal products, we are discussing halal food items and beverages. Products that meet the requirements for legitimacy under Islamic Shariah are referred to as halal products. Items that are suitable for use with food and drink include: First, steer clear of anything that contains or is produced from pork. For example: bristle brushes made of swine feathers, lard (pork fat), gelatin, lechitine, and emulsifiers (E471). QS. Al-Baqarah (2):173 contains it. Both meats are from halal animals that were killed in accordance with Islamic Shariah regulations. Al-Maaidah, QS. (5):3. 3. Any food or beverage that isn't made with alcohol or any of its byproducts, or that purposefully adds non-alcohol ingredients and isn't khamr. QS. Al-Maaidah (5):90, Al-Baqarah (2):219. The fourth is neither blood nor a corpse that is off-limits to human consumption. Al-Baqarah, QS. (2): 173. Including any and all foods acquired lawfully. Everything is allowed to be consumed, especially food and liquids. Eat what is righteous and excellent in the earth, men, and do not walk in Satan's footsteps, for he is clearly your enemy.Notwithstanding the ongoing unpredictability caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Dinar Standard projects that the six actual sharia economy sectors—halal food and drink, modest fashion, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, media and recreation, and travel—will account for 9.1% of the total growth in Muslim spending worldwide by 2022. By 2025, this growth is predicted to have increased by 7.5% to US$2.8 trillion. (CAGR)
