Today, halal matchmaking services, such as halal apps and halal speed dating have appeared in many Muslim and non-Muslim countries. It is important that Muslims not only marry in a halal manner, but also maintain a healthy family life after marriage. However, in Japan, where Muslims are almost invisible minority, there are no services that provide halal matchmaking including pre-marriage education based on Maqasid al-Shariah. The purpose of the research is to analyze the need for halal matchmaking services in Japan. Halal matchmaking needs of single and divorced Muslims are to be determined. Methods: The researcher recruited potential participants for a halal matchmaking through social media of Chiba Islamic Cultural Center from 25 July to 21 August 2022. Single and divorced Muslims living in Japan who were able to communicate adequately in Japanese, were purposively selected for in-depth interviews. Feedback was obtained through in-depth interviews with all the participants after the halal matchmaking. Findings: 111 people registered their personal profiles. There were 109 valid answers (98.1%). Forty-one people responded for the preliminary interviews. Twenty people who attended the matchmaking were invited for the feedback in-depth interviews. Barriers to find a potential marriage partner among Muslims in Japan include a rarity of Muslims as a user of the Japanese matchmaking services, time and money consuming efforts and anxiety for marriage due to the lack of trust or assurance of individualistic marriage compared to that of communal marriages. Thus, community effort to develop halal matchmaking is needed for the Muslims in Japan.

Halal is an important issue in aquaculture since this industry produces food for human consumption. This paper aimed to discuss the procedures and practices in the current aquaculture in relation to the concept of halal as a subject while tayyib is a process where clean and pure food will be produced and gives comfort to the user or consumer, thus the product is recognized and certified as Halala Tayyiba. Fish brood stock obtained from a river and kept under a hatchery condition was assigned for the case study. The ectoparasite species found on Tilapia under hatchery cultured condition was investigated. The weight and total length of the Tilapia were measured, and mucus coating was swapped to 10% buffered formalin using the scraping technique. The morphology of copepod parasites was observed under a compound microscope for identification. Hosts with infection of ectoparasite showed reduced weight and increased mortality. A comprehensive understanding of the importance of adopting Halala Tayyiba principles in aquaculture procedures will improve the aquaculture product thus bringing forward local farmers in the halal supply chain.

Halal food research has gained significant attention, overshadowing the exploration of halal pharmaceutical research. Nevertheless, the importance of addressing halal status concerns and ensuring the appropriate handling of halal pharmaceutical products is gradually rising. Consequently, the complexities of logistics, supply chain management, and transparency in the context of halal pharmaceuticals have become pertinent issues. Surprisingly, the existing literature on halal-related topics remains a 'grey area' when it comes to LSCM (LSCM) in the pharmaceutical sector. To address this gap, this paper aims to investigate the LSCM aspects of halal pharmaceutical research. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) methodology was employed to systematically screen, review, and synthesise the literature on halal pharmaceutical research. Through this review, we aim to examine the current LSCM trends and the state of research in the field of halal pharmaceuticals. Despite some notable advancements, halal pharmaceutical research remains largely understudied. Moreover, there are significant gaps in the existing literature, particularly from an LSCM perspective, which hinders knowledge expansion and practical applications. By conducting a systematic review from the LSCM lens, this study aims to contribute valuable conceptual insights and practical implications that will serve as a foundation for future research in the field of halal pharmaceuticals.

Halalan and thayyiban foods are intensively important among Muslims all around the world. Besides, consumer health concerns are escalating the demand for healthy food. Thai cuisine usually consists of several spices and herbs meant for colouring, flavouring, enhancing taste, and having various medicinal properties. Thai red curry paste commonly contains chilli pepper, black pepper, garlic bulb, lemon grass, and turmeric as its main ingredients. In addition, the phytochemicals of particular herbs in red curry paste also have antioxidant activities. This study builds on previous research using halal red curry pasted to increase shelf-life and monitor the herbal values. The sterilization and packaging improvement could increase the shelf-life by up to 1 year. Moreover, phenolic, flavonoid, and antioxidant activity (DPPH) were measured by comparing PreS and PostS. The results show that red curry paste has a high level of phenolic, and flavonoid content, and radical scavenging activity. Moreover, the health benefits of herbs and spices were increased after sterilization. This study presumed that curry paste considered a thayyiban product might be a fascinating choice for health-conscious Muslims and non-Muslims.

Muslims across the globe adhere to the shariah principles and Islamic shariah scholars are an authority over the Quran and the Hadith. At present, the biggest challenge is decision making in adoption of products with unknown ingredients, undefined process from the scratch up to the point of consumption, and choosing between classical and modern data base. The progress in bio-technology and material science gave birth to synthetic material with unknown ingredients. This brought great concern regarding halalan thayyiban which covers food as well as non-food industry. This research intends to focus only on food industry. As halal (permissible) and thayyib (wholesome) are purely religious concerns, so the industry has to depend on Islamic shariah scholars. They play pivotal role in decision making and in giving shariah verdict on raw material and ingredients in the product. This has been traditionally accepted as the bond of trust and their participation accounts for a greater role so as to strengthen HAS with customer satisfaction. This paper discusses the challenges in engaging, empowering and employing more qualified and competent scholars with knowledge of modern science in order to distribute roles at different levels of HAS. Qualitative method through interviews, and feedback loop was the main instrumental tool for data collection and analysis. A conceptual model is framed and it is found that Islamic Shariah scholars are the main thrust in HAS process so as to build the trust but there is a need of their training with latest technology in order to monitor, evaluate the process and documentation, thus, bridging the gap between traditional and modern data base.

The ginger family (Zingiberaceae) includes plants with a distinct smell and taste that are commonly used as spices in the kitchen, but also in a variety of industries (pharmaceutical, medical, and cosmetic) due to their demonstrated biological activity. This study describes the antibacterial activity of curcumin extracts from selected species of Zingiberaceae family namely “temu emas” (Curcuma zeodoria). “temu kunci” (Curcuma manga), “temu pauh” (Curcuma amada), “lempoyang” (Zingiber zerumbit) and “cekur” (Kaempferia galangal). Extracts of these compounds were studied on Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), Escherichia coli (ATCC 35218), Salmonella typhimurium (ATCC 14028), Candida albicans (ATCC 10231) and Aspergilus brasiliensis (ATCC 16404). Turbidity is taken as an indication of growth, thus the lowest concentration, which remains clear after macroscopic evaluation is taken as the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). In conclusion, amongst the studied members of Zingiberaceae, temu emas curcumin natural pigment extracts showed the best antibacterial activities against E. coli ATCC 35218 (2 µg / µL), S. typhimurium ATCC 14028 (2 µg / µL), C. albicans ATCC 10231 (2 µg / µL), A. brasiliensis ATCC 16404 (2 µg / µL) and S. aureus ATCC 25923 (3 µg / µL). The outcome of this research will be contributing towards new natural carotenoid pigment sources as potential active pharmaceutical ingredients which can be beneficial to halal health-promoting products industry.

The field of Halal tourism is experiencing burgeoning growth and is expected to reach a market value of $300 billion by 2026. In this context, the tourism policies implemented by Brunei play a crucial role in shaping the perceptions and experiences of tourists, while also exerting a substantial impact on the country's economic development. As Brunei aims to diversify its economy and reduce its dependence on oil exports, the Halal tourism market presents a promising opportunity for the nation's Islamic travel industry. Particularly, Muslim tourists from the United States (US) and Australia emerge as potential target markets for Brunei. Given Brunei's predominantly Islamic character, the country possesses inherent advantages as a Muslim-Friendly Tourism (MFT) destination for US and Australian Muslim tourists. These advantages embrace shared religious values, a safe environment (Darussalam – Abode of Peace), and common use of the English language. This paper aims to assess the potential of these target markets by considering their Purchasing Power Parity, consumer needs, and demand for Halal food and accommodations. This paper adopts qualitative research methods, focusing on Netnography to gain insight into the digital experiences of potential Muslim tourists/consumers. Extensive datasets drawn from eHalal.io, a reputable provider of quality management systems for Halal products and services, will be analysed to gather valuable information. Through this study, we hope to shed light on the viability and attractiveness of the US and Australian Muslim tourist markets for Brunei's Halal tourism industry. The findings presented in this study suggests valuable insights for policymakers in Brunei's tourism industry, in regard to target markets of the US and Australia Muslim tourists.

Halal Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) is a substance used in a finished pharmaceutical product, intended to furnish pharmacological activity or contribute direct effect in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease. It also provides a direct effect in restoring, correcting or modifying physiological functions in human beings. Microalgae, which are single-celled microorganisms, are considered to be a rich source of diverse bioactive molecules. They play a vital role in the aquatic food chain as primary producers and can store complex organic compounds in their bodies, which can be released with the help of sunlight. Microalgae have evolved distinctive metabolic pathways, resulting in the production of remarkable secondary metabolites and unique structures that differ from those found in superior plants. Due to the high structural diversity of pigments, microalgae have the potential to produce pharmacologically valuable compounds, making them a promising source of bioactive molecules. This study aimed to examine the carotenoids pigmentation profiling from selected microalgae species subjected to different culture conditions. The methods involve are microalgae cell culture mass production, carotenoid sample extraction and HPLC analysis. The findings revealed that the composition and amount of carotenoids differ according to the microalgae species. Genetic factors appear to be a crucial factor in categorizing these species based on their individual carotenoids accumulation. In short, selecting the appropriate species with the ability to accumulate carotenoids is important in determining the sources of pigments for halal bioactive ingredients or for commercial purposes, particularly in the halal market.

This study aims to examine whether there is a need for medical devices used for Muslim patients to be Halal certified. This study comprehends the concepts and ideas of Halal medical devices based on the present information that is available in documents, articles, websites and online databases. This study reveals that in the case of Thailand, there is a need for medical devices to be Halal certified particularly due to three main reasons: 1) there is a significant increase in the World Muslim population; 2) the number of Muslim tourists that come to Thailand for medical services have been increasing notably as Thailand is one Muslim-Friendly tourist destinations; and 3) there will be a business opportunity for the industrial players in Thailand to export more of non-food products like medical devices with Halal certification as the country has successfully been exporting a lot of Halal foods and Thailand’s Halal certification has been recognized by many Muslim countries.

Nurdeng Deuraseh, Siti Raudhatun Nabilah Bte Pg Mohd Anuar
In Brunei, the Halal industry is not just focusing on food and beverages but also attempts to bring forward on other sectors including pharmaceutical, cosmetics, finances, tourism and media and entertainment. The establishment of Halalan Thayyiban Research Centre is an initiative disseminating and developing halal awareness in the society. One of the objectives of this research centre is to offer academic programmes in the field of Halalan Thayyiban. As this programme is still new and Halal industry is still developing in Brunei, this raises concern among the Halal graduates as their career path is still unclear and in need of guidance. In addition, the rate of unemployment in this country especially among youths is quite high. Therefore, this study aims to achieve three main objectives. Firstly, to provide an overview of Halal Media and Entertainment in Brunei. Secondly, to identify the challenges and opportunities in developing Halal Media and Entertainment in Brunei. Thirdly, to explore the job opportunities and career path available for Halal Science graduates specifically in Halal Media and Entertainment industry. To achieve these objectives, a semi-structured interview is conducted to assess employer’s suggestions on potential careers available in this sector.

{"title":"HALAL MEDIA AND ENTERTAINMENT IN CREATING JOB OPPORTUNITIES IN BRUNEI DARUSSALAM","authors":"Nurdeng Deuraseh, Siti Raudhatun Nabilah Bte Pg Mohd Anuar","doi":"10.59202/jhst.v1i2.388","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.59202/jhst.v1i2.388","url":null,"abstract":"In Brunei, the Halal industry is not just focusing on food and beverages but also attempts to bring forward on other sectors including pharmaceutical, cosmetics, finances, tourism and media and entertainment. The establishment of Halalan Thayyiban Research Centre is an initiative disseminating and developing halal awareness in the society. One of the objectives of this research centre is to offer academic programmes in the field of Halalan Thayyiban. As this programme is still new and Halal industry is still developing in Brunei, this raises concern among the Halal graduates as their career path is still unclear and in need of guidance. In addition, the rate of unemployment in this country especially among youths is quite high. Therefore, this study aims to achieve three main objectives. Firstly, to provide an overview of Halal Media and Entertainment in Brunei. Secondly, to identify the challenges and opportunities in developing Halal Media and Entertainment in Brunei. Thirdly, to explore the job opportunities and career path available for Halal Science graduates specifically in Halal Media and Entertainment industry. To achieve these objectives, a semi-structured interview is conducted to assess employer’s suggestions on potential careers available in this sector. The process of search and data collection was also done by analyzing all the resources and materials related to the topic such as reviewing research paper, book, journal and articles as secondary sources. The finding of this study indicates that Halal Science graduates have higher chances to secure their job and career in private sectors compared to the government sectors.
