Japan has been a destination of choice for Muslims to travel either for work, leisure, or study. While being a popular tourist spot, there are several concerns and challenges experienced by Muslims residing in Japan. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to obtain a complete understanding, in-depth information, and a need to identify the concerns and difficulties faced by Muslim consumers in Japan in accessing halal food. In addition to that, this study also looks into factors influencing Muslim consumers' behavior when buying foods in supermarkets. For this study, the methodology used qualitative shadowing methodology, whereby short observations and interviews took place for further clarity of the participants' backgrounds and purchasing decisions. Two participants have been observed during their trip to supermarkets. The finding shows that Muslim residents’ accessibility to halal food is relatively difficult in non-tourist areas.

The concept of Halal is well understood and practiced Muslims. Muslims are restricted to only consuming foods that are certified as Halal. However, today, the consumption of Halal food is no longer regarded only as a religious obligation for Muslims, but is also sought after by non-Muslim society due to the rising health concern as Halal foods are often classified as ones that have high quality from the perspectives of safety and hygiene. The fact that there are already 1.9 billion Muslims in the globe is indisputable proof that the halal food sector is promising for both Muslim and non-Muslim participants in the industry. Many Muslim-minority countries, such as New Zealand, Canada, the United Kingdom (UK), Australia, the United States of America (USA), India, and Argentina are also exporting Halal foods to foreign countries as they believe that this can generate substantial revenue for them. Nevertheless, low awareness of the concept of halal, uncertainties regarding the ingredients used in the products, and misleading information on a product’s packaging are a few of the challenges in the Halal food industry. In order to popularize the concept of Halal to more non-Muslims, the authority, plays a significant role in this scenario by providing public information related to the concept of Halal as well as taking more stern actions in combating the occurrence of Halal food frauds.

Consumer demographics and their level of awareness are important factors as determinants towards the foods they consume. The study aimed at comparatively examining the effect of Halal awareness and consumer demographics on intention to purchase Halal food in Brunei Darussalam and Uganda. In execution, it used a correlational research design to ascertain whether research variables were related, the nature and strength of effects. The study’s discoveries led to conclusions that Halal awareness efforts like government support policies, certification, health expert approvals, and individual exposure alongside religiosity significantly boost one’s intention to purchase Halal food up to 25% in Brunei and up to 51.6% in Uganda, respectively. It is also concluded that the effect was greater in Uganda compared to Brunei. The study thus empirically recommended that the Ugandan government should support the Halal industry to boost consumers’ intention to purchase such products. The study further recommended that marketers and sales agents of Halal products should concentrate on Muslim-dominated regions to entice more public willingness to purchase. Religiosity was found to be a significant catalyst towards one’s intention to buy Halal products. For Uganda, the study also recommended that Halal food certification should be spearheaded by government other than private organizations so as to streamline such efforts, boost public trust, and fund the relevant processes to significantly impact on this particular sub-sector.

This paper aims to explore the concepts and values of Maqasid al-shariah in bioprospecting. The activities of bioprospecting are not new and have been well established in various industries ranging from pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing to biomining and nanotechnology. Bioprospecting is the discovery of biodiversity for new biological resources of social and economic value. Although the premises of bioprospecting are known to be closely tied to sustainability and conservation of biodiversity, to the best of our knowledge, there are no discussions on bioprospecting from the perspective of Maqasid. This paper explores this relationship with a focus on agarwood, a non-timber forest product (NTFP) that has been traded for centuries. Over the years, agarwood has been subjected to bioprospecting and is increasingly being used as a material in the development of halalan toyyiban products.

Consumption of Halal is the commandment of Allah SWT as explained in the Quran and Sunnah, which aims to preserve the Maslahah of the people in accordance with the principles of Maqasid Shariah. Therefore, Allah SWT prohibits certain types of food simply because of the harm it causes to humans physically, mentally, spiritually and morally. In Brunei Darussalam, halal matters control and monitoring are highly emphasized. This can be seen in various contexts, especially in the titah or proclamations of His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di Pertuan Negara Brunei Darussalam who repeatedly asserted the control of halal products and goods in this country is guaranteed and Shariah-compliant. In addition, in the context of Negara Brunei Darussalam as an Islamic country and the adoption of the Concept of Malay Islamic Monarchy (MIB) as a national policy also demonstrates the importance of halal in the country. The enforcement of two halal legislation further strengthens the halal control efforts as well as the role of other legislation governing the safety and quality of food.
消费清真食品是安拉的戒律,正如古兰经和圣训所解释的那样,其目的是根据Maqasid Shariah的原则保护人民的Maslahah。因此,真主SWT禁止某些类型的食物,仅仅是因为它会对人类的身体,精神,精神和道德造成伤害。在文莱达鲁萨兰国,清真事务的控制和监测受到高度重视。这可以在各种情况下看到,特别是在苏丹陛下和文莱达鲁萨兰国国家元首(Yang Di Pertuan Negara)的法令或声明中,他一再声称对这个国家的清真产品和商品的控制是有保证的,并且符合伊斯兰教法。此外,在国家背景下,文莱达鲁萨兰国作为一个伊斯兰国家,采用马来伊斯兰君主制(MIB)作为国家政策的概念也表明了清真在该国的重要性。两项清真法例的实施,进一步加强了清真管制工作,以及其他有关食品安全和质量的法例的作用。

Employment has always been a source of worry among university graduates. The unemployment rate is possibly the most well-known labour market indicator and certainly one of the most regularly mentioned by the media in many countries, as it is thought to best reflect the lack of employment at the national level. In nations that collect data on the labour force, it gives the broadest measure of the labour market situation, along with the employment to population. A quantitative survey was conducted to scrutinize how halal science graduates could get themselves employed in the halal food sector. The survey questionnaires were designed and targeted at those who venture into the halal food business. The study resulted that the halal food producer may gain the lowest and highest monthly income of less than five hundred and more than five thousand respectively. Thus, with the good marketability of halal food and resources, there is a vast opportunity for these halal graduates to venture into businesses selling halal food as they can implement all knowledge; they gained in their halal science studies at the University.

A competent halal executive is essential and an integral part of the Halal Management System in Halal-certified companies. Core competencies in general are linked with job productivity, job performance, and organisational performance. In Malaysia, initiatives are currently underway to produce competent and professional Halal executives. As for now, the competencies of halal executives are yet to be defined. Defining and identifying the core competencies is pivotal as the Malaysian Halal industry needs to appoint more competent halal executives to serve the halal-certified companies. Thus, this article aims to identify the set of competencies for halal executives via a literature review. This would allow for the further development of the Halal executive core competencies conceptual model. In addition, the background of Halal executives in the Malaysian Halal industry is also discussed to provide context for this review article. The conceptual model proposed is useful in discussing and developing the idea of core competencies, especially in the halal manufacturing industry context. A comprehensive core competencies model is useful for preparing future halal executives, evaluating halal executives' practises in the workplace, and for their lifelong professional development. Other countries could use the same core competencies framework to inform the development of the human resource related to Halal.

Alcohol is considered to be synonymous with intoxicant (al-khamr), which is strictly prohibited in Islam. However, this perception appears to be misleading as alcohol was also used as a common ingredient in the halal industry. This study aims to decipher the issues of halal products concerning regulations in Brunei Darussalam. The three objectives are: firstly, is to determine the meaning of khamr, alcohol and ethanol and also their application in the halal industry. Secondly, is to find out the issues about halal products containing alcohol. Thirdly, is to study halal regulation of Brunei Darussalam in matters related to the use of alcohol in products. To achieve the objectives, both qualitative and quantitative methods have been adopted for data collection. Data has been collected using primary data sources such as structured interviews and surveys, and also previous findings from the secondary source. Major findings revealed two important points on the issue of halal products containing alcohol. First of all, the analysis of a survey conducted on the issue of alcohol from 165 respondents, found that Muslim consumers in Brunei Darussalam are found to have a piece of excellent knowledge of the basic rulings of alcohol and khamr. However, they are found lacking in terms of the application of naturally produced and synthetic alcohol in the halal industry. Secondly, it was found there is a lack of global halal regulations among MABIMS countries in terms of determining the usage of alcohol in the halal industry. From further analysis, it can be deduced the source for this issue is due to 1) the methodology in issuing a fatwa, and 2) scientific-related reasons. To solve these issues, some suggestions are proposed which mainly involve the intensification of spreading awareness on halal issues to the public masses in Brunei Darussalam.
