Bachelor in Halal Industry Management

 

 

INTRODUCTION

Muslims’ aspiration to earn halal income and use halal commodities for food and non-food uses have provided the pivotal impetus for contemporary academics and industries to create numerous halal products and services. From an Islamic standpoint, this development provides a valuable opportunity for Muslim nations to capitalize on and sustain. Upon deeper reflection, it also reflects Muslims’ popular sense of asserting the Islamic value system in dietary and non-dietary goods and services. Accordingly, the challenge to Muslim academic institutions such as ours is to produce human capital necessary for ensuring that halal goods and services are not simply “a matter of processes” and “packaging” but instead conform to the value-framework of Islam in their entirety. To fulfil the above requirement of the nation and the Ummah, and to realize the strategic goal of the University to become a premier institution of higher learning, the Kulliyyah of Islamic Revealed Knowledge and Human Science (KIRKHS) in collaboration with International Halal Institute of IIUM (INHART) will offer Bachelor in Halal Industry Management starting Semester 1 2021/2022.
