Integration of Islamic Science and Technology in the Halal Industry
Abstract
This chapter examines the integration of Islamic science and technology in sustaining the halal industry through digital innovation. The convergence of blockchain technology, artificial intelligence, and Islamic ethical principles creates unprecedented opportunities for transparency, traceability, and compliance in halal supply chains. Drawing on recent literature, this chapter presents a comprehensive framework demonstrating how technology integration aligned with Shariah principles can address contemporary challenges in halal certification, supply chain management, and consumer trust. The analysis reveals that blockchain-based traceability systems combined with AI-powered compliance monitoring enhance halal ecosystem integrity while supporting sustainable development goals. The chapter explores implementation strategies across various contexts including Malaysia, Indonesia, and Kuwait, highlighting both opportunities and challenges.
