Global Halal Certification Research: Trends, Intellectual Structure, and Future Research Directions

2026-07-11T04:24:52+00:00

The rapid growth of the global halal economy has increased scholarly interest in halal certification, yet its intellectual development and emerging research directions remain fragmented. This study aims to systematically map the evolution of global halal certification research by identifying publication trends, leading contributors, thematic development, and future research opportunities. A bibliometric approach was employed using 473 publications retrieved from the Scopus database through a structured document selection process. The data were analyzed using Bibliometrix and Biblioshiny in RStudio to examine scientific productivity, influential sources, authors, institutions, countries, and thematic evolution. The findings reveal a significant increase in research output, with Indonesia and Malaysia emerging as the leading contributors. The field has evolved from focusing on religious compliance and consumer assurance toward broader themes related to governance, supply chain management, digital transformation, sustainability, and business competitiveness. The originality of this study lies in proposing an evolutionary framework that explains the intellectual progression of halal certification research while identifying emerging research opportunities. These findings provide valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, certification authorities, and industry practitioners in strengthening a more transparent, innovative, and sustainable global halal ecosystem.

2026-07-11T22:52:34+00:00

The rapid expansion of the global Muslim travel market has stimulated increasing scholarly attention to halal tourism, yet its intellectual development remains fragmented across multiple disciplines. This study aims to map the intellectual evolution of halal tourism research and identify its major knowledge structures, influential contributors, and emerging research directions. A bibliometric approach was employed using 473 English-language publications indexed in the Scopus database between 2004 and 2026. Data were analyzed through performance analysis and science mapping using VOSviewer to examine publication trends, leading authors, institutions, countries, and keyword co-occurrence networks. The findings reveal a substantial increase in scientific production since 2016, reflecting the growing maturity of halal tourism as a multidisciplinary field. Six major thematic clusters illustrate the evolution of research from Muslim-friendly services toward destination competitiveness, tourist behavior, governance, sustainability, digital transformation, and innovation. This study offers a comprehensive intellectual overview of halal tourism research and provides valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and tourism practitioners to support future collaboration, strategic policy development, and sustainable growth within the global halal tourism ecosystem

Artificial Intelligence in Zakat Management: Opportunities, Challenges, and Ethical Considerations

2026-07-13T14:59:29+00:00

Artificial Intelligence is increasingly recognized as a transformative technology capable of enhancing the effectiveness, transparency, and sustainability of zakat management. However, existing studies remain fragmented across technological, governance, and ethical perspectives, limiting a comprehensive understanding of its implementation within Islamic social finance. This study aims to synthesize the current body of knowledge by examining the opportunities, challenges, and ethical implications of Artificial Intelligence in zakat management. A qualitative library research design was employed using a systematic literature review and thematic analysis of peer-reviewed publications indexed in Scopus. The findings identify five interconnected themes: opportunities for Artificial Intelligence adoption, organizational and technological challenges, ethical and Shariah governance, institutional readiness and governance transformation, and future directions for responsible implementation. The study proposes an integrated conceptual perspective that positions Artificial Intelligence as a governance innovation rather than merely a technological tool. This review contributes to the advancement of Islamic social finance by providing a comprehensive framework to support responsible, transparent, and sustainable Artificial Intelligence adoption in zakat institutions.

Pengaruh Kualitas Layanan, Citra Bank, dan Biaya Layanan terhadap Kepuasan Nasabah melalui Kepercayaan pada Bank Syariah Indonesia

2026-07-13T15:03:16+00:00

Kepuasan nasabah merupakan salah satu faktor utama yang menentukan daya saing perbankan syariah. Namun demikian, hasil penelitian terdahulu mengenai pengaruh kualitas layanan, citra bank, dan biaya layanan terhadap kepuasan nasabah masih menunjukkan temuan yang beragam, terutama terkait peran kepercayaan sebagai variabel mediasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh kualitas layanan, citra bank, dan biaya layanan terhadap kepuasan nasabah dengan kepercayaan sebagai variabel mediasi pada Bank Syariah Indonesia di Kota Serang. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif melalui metode survei terhadap nasabah Bank Syariah Indonesia dengan teknik purposive sampling. Data dianalisis menggunakan Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa citra bank berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kepuasan nasabah, sedangkan kualitas layanan berpengaruh terhadap kepuasan secara tidak langsung melalui kepercayaan. Biaya layanan tidak berpengaruh langsung terhadap kepuasan, tetapi berpengaruh terhadap kepercayaan. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi dengan memperjelas peran kepercayaan sebagai mekanisme mediasi dalam membangun kepuasan nasabah pada perbankan syariah serta memberikan implikasi praktis bagi peningkatan kualitas layanan dan penguatan hubungan dengan nasabah.

Wakaf Produktif dalam Perspektif Al-Qur’an (Tafsir QS. Al-Baqarah/2: 261 dan QS. Ali ‘Imran/3: 92)

2026-07-21T02:54:19+00:00

Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis landasan teologis wakaf produktif dalam perspektif Al-Qur’an melalui penafsiran terhadap ayat-ayat yang menjadi dasar konsep pengembangan harta untuk kemaslahatan berkelanjutan. Kajian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh meningkatnya kebutuhan akan model pengelolaan wakaf yang tidak hanya bersifat konsumtif, tetapi juga mampu menciptakan manfaat ekonomi dan sosial secara berkesinambungan. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi kepustakaan. Data dikumpulkan dari Al-Qur’an, kitab-kitab tafsir klasik dan kontemporer, hadis, serta literatur mengenai wakaf produktif, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan metode tafsir tematik dan analisis deskriptif-analitis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa konsep wakaf produktif berakar pada prinsip pengembangan manfaat yang berkelanjutan dan pengorbanan harta terbaik untuk kepentingan umum. Nilai-nilai tersebut terimplementasi dalam praktik wakaf para sahabat yang mengelola aset agar manfaatnya terus mengalir bagi masyarakat. Dalam konteks Indonesia, prinsip-prinsip tersebut memberikan legitimasi teologis bagi pengembangan wakaf produktif melalui tata kelola yang profesional, inovasi pengelolaan aset, serta pemberdayaan ekonomi masyarakat. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi dengan menawarkan pemahaman yang komprehensif mengenai keterkaitan antara nilai-nilai Al-Qur’an dan praktik wakaf produktif sebagai instrumen filantropi Islam yang mampu memperkuat pembangunan sosial-ekonomi sekaligus mewujudkan kemaslahatan masyarakat secara berkelanjutan.
