Abstract

The global halal market is witnessing rapid expansion driven by increased demand from Muslim consumers. This necessitates strict adherence to Islamic dietary rules throughout the agri-food supply chain. However, inconsistencies in halal certification standards, complexity of supply chains, and lack of global standardization raised concerns about the integrity and authenticity of halal products. Therefore, this research aims to explore the core concepts and ethical foundations of halal in food industry, emphasizing the balance between sustainability and humane practices. The critical role of advanced technologies is also reported, such as DNA testing, blockchain, sensors, and artificial intelligence, in ensuring traceability, transparency, and contamination prevention within halal food chains. The results show that the implementation of quality management systems is discussed as a fundamental method for maintaining halal compliance, with clear policies, procedures, and performance evaluations essential for effective assurance. This research suggests the necessity of technological integration and quality management to strengthen consumer trust and global competitiveness in halal food industry.

Abstract

This study aims to conceptualize halal traditional markets (Pasar Rakyat) in Indonesia as multidimensional socioeconomic systems grounded in Islamic principles. Although halal industry has experienced growth in sectors, such as food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, the governance framework for public markets remains underdeveloped. Using a qualitative exploratory approach, this current study analyzed 54 academic articles published between 2015 and 2025 through thematic coding using NVivo 15 Plus software. The results showed that there were 5 dominant thematic domains centered around the keywords of halal, market, products, Muslim, and Islam, reflecting the intersection of religious values, consumer behavior, institutional regulation, and socio-cultural identity. These indicated that halal market extended beyond product compliance to include ethical transactions, institutional regulations, and cultural representation. Traditional markets, particularly in Indonesia, played a significant role in the daily lives of Muslim communities but were often overlooked in halal development strategies. This study contributes to academic and policy discourse by proposing a more integrated and contextual understanding of halal market that is consistent with religious values and modern economic demands. However, the scope is limited to secondary data and literature analysis, which may not fully capture practical challenges in the field. Future studies are advised to include empirical investigation and stakeholder perspectives to strengthen these insights.

Abstract

Halal tourism has grown rapidly over the past two decades, becoming a strategic pillar of the global industry. The expansion of the Muslim travel market, reaching millions of international arrivals annually, underscores the growing need for destinations, products, and services consistent with Islamic values. Therefore, this study aims to identify major themes and gaps in the halal tourism literature through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) based on PRISMA guidelines. Using the keyword “halal tourism” in the Scopus database (2014–2025), a total of 659 articles were initially retrieved, with 31 fulfilling the final inclusion criteria after screening for access, language, and relevance. The results showed that Indonesia dominates halal tourism literature (28 articles), with case studies and surveys being the most common methods. Thematically, studies cluster into nine categories, namely Muslim tourist behavior and loyalty, policy and governance, branding and promotion, religious moderation and local wisdom, destination strategies, halal food consumption, technology and digitalization, literacy and social capital, as well as certification. Previous studies have largely focused on tourist behavior, while implementation and certification remain underexplored. In general, halal tourism is a multidimensional field integrating culture, governance, branding, and technology beyond mere compliance with Islamic law. Future studies should focus on practical implementation, certification systems, and digital transformation. Strengthening these areas will enhance competitiveness, ensure inclusivity for Muslim travelers, and support the sustainability of halal tourism as a driver of equitable growth in the global landscape.

Abstract

The halal industry in Indonesia is expanding rapidly across food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, finance, tourism, and lifestyle, in line with the country’s ambition to become a global halal hub. Therefore, this research aimed to apply bibliometric analysis to 296 Scopus-indexed articles published between 2007 and 2025 to map trends, authorship patterns, institutional contributions, thematic developments, and collaboration networks. Data were processed using the Bibliometrix package in R. The results showed that there was an annual growth rate of 24.81 percent, with contributions from 1,001 authors across 161 sources and an international co-authorship rate of 34.46%. Research output intensified after 2020, peaking in 2023–2024, with leading contributions from Universitas Airlangga, Universitas Diponegoro, and Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember. The Journal of Islamic Marketing was reported as the most influential outlet. Highly cited works emphasized halal consumption, certification, supply chain integrity, and blockchain-based traceability. Thematic analysis suggested halal tourism, certification, and supply chain management as dominant clusters, with topics such as digital innovation, food safety, and gendered consumption. Collaboration networks showed strong ties with Malaysia and broader connections to Europe, North America, and Asia. Halal industry research in Indonesia has matured into a multidisciplinary and globally connected field, moving from foundational analysis to governance, innovation, and sustainable development.

Abstract

This study aims to examine how university regulations and academic culture shape halal dress awareness among female students as an expression of Islamic values within the academic sphere. Halal dressing is conceptualized not merely as adherence to sharia but also a symbol of Islamic identity and academic ethics in Islamic higher education institutions. In this study, a qualitative method was used with a phenomenological and descriptive-analytical approach. Data were obtained through interviews with female students, lecturers, and university administrators, as well as direct observations of dressing culture, and a review of regulatory documents concerning Islamic dress codes. Subsequently, data analysis was conducted through reduction, thematic categorization, and interpretation of the fiqh values of the four major Sunni schools of thought, namely Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi‘i, and Hanbali, to identify the meeting point between Islamic legal norms and modern academic culture. The results showed that halal dress regulations at UIN Walisongo and UNISSULA were inclusive, educational, and morally nurturing rather than coercive. According to Imam al-Shafi‘i and Hanbali, complete covering of the aurat represents honor and obedience to sharia, while the Hanafi and Maliki schools provide room for adaptation to local socio-cultural contexts. The academic culture at both universities reflects a synthesis of piety, professionalism, and freedom of expression within the framework of Islamic ethics. The dress code regulations are normative-educational in nature, integrating sharia-based values with academic ethics to foster an awareness of dressing that is not only halal in a legal sense but also thayyib in a moral sense. The success of the halal dress culture in Islamic coastal Java university is determined by the synergy between regulations, spiritual awareness, cross-madhhab fiqh understanding, and the internalization of maq ¯as. id al-syar¯ı‘ah in academic life. In conclusion, this study contributes to developing a model of Islamic academic culture that is moderate, contextual, and characteristic of Islamic coastal Java university.
