Advances in digital technology have opened up significant opportunities for utilizing media as a tool for education, creativity, and religious outreach. However, the low level of digital literacy among the public, particularly the younger generation, means that the use of digital media remains largely limited to entertainment. This community service activity aims to enhance participants’ understanding and skills in utilizing digital media productively through the seminar “Halal Profits, Maximum Rewards through Digital Da’wah” at MWC NU Waru Sidoarjo. The method employed was Participatory Action Research (PAR) with data collection techniques involving observation. The results of the activity showed an increase in participants’ knowledge regarding digital da’wah, the positive use of social media, and halal economic opportunities through digital content. Additionally, participants demonstrated high enthusiasm and began to understand the importance of using technology wisely and productively. This activity is expected to serve as a first step in improving digital literacy, community empowerment, and the strengthening of Islamic values through digital media.

The issue of nutrition among school children remains a public health challenge in Indonesia. As an effort to improve the nutritional status of students, the government launched the Free Nutritious Meal program (MBG) in educational units. However, in its implementation, there are still students who do not take advantage of the program. This study aims to identify the reasons why students do not utilize the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) program based on the (ABC) theory of antecedent, behavior, consequence at SD Negeri 100 Kendari. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. The number of informants to be studied is 6 people selected through Purposive Sampling, consisting of students, the principal, teachers, SPPG officers, and parents. Data collection is conducted through in-depth interviews, recording, observation, and documentation. The data are analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Research results show that the antecedent of students' knowledge about the MBG program is at the level of knowing to understanding, the application of the provided menu has been in accordance with balanced nutrition principles, and the program policy is supported by various parties. Students' behavior shows rejection of the program influenced by negative experiences, perceptions of the halalness of food containers, and parental prohibitions. The consequence of students not participating does not directly have a negative impact on their learning conditions or physical health, because nutritional needs are still met from other sources. Therefore, students have no motivation to utilize the program. In conclusion, students who do not take advantage of the MBG program are influenced by perceptions, experiences, and parental restrictions. Therefore, it is necessary to improve education, strengthen communication, and enhance the quality of program implementation to increase the utilization of the MBG program.

The results of the activity indicate a significant increase in participants’ understanding of Sharia financial concepts, rising from 45% to 85%, along with improved skills in preparing financial statements in accordance with Sharia principles. In addition, this program also generated positive social changes, marked by the establishment of the “Bekasi Berdaya Sharia MSME Group” as a platform for collective learning, business collaboration, and network strengthening. These findings demonstrate that the application of Sharia financial principles in community empowerment programs can strengthen economic resilience while fostering ethical, transparent, and value-driven business practices.

This study is developed as a conceptual paper that analyzes halal marketing practices through a maqashid shariah lens across three operational domains: digital marketing, customer service and business administration. The paper is motivated by recent developments in the global halal economy, the stronger linkage between halal assurance, governance quality and digital transparency, and Indonesia's policy acceleration toward mandatory halal implementation in October 2026. Methodologically, the study uses a structured literature review and conceptual synthesis of international reputable journals and relevant Indonesian journals, complemented by policy and industry reports. The analysis maps prior findings into maqashid dimensions (protection of religion, life, intellect, wealth and dignity) and translates them into practical indicators of honesty, transparency, fairness, consumer protection and procedural reliability. The paper argues that credible halal marketing depends not only on promotional messages but also on service conduct and disciplined administrative governance. It contributes a conceptual framework and practical propositions for evaluating halal marketing practices in MSMEs and service businesses.

Production is a fundamental component of economic activity that plays a strategic role in achieving human well-being. From an Islamic economic perspective, production is understood not only as a technical process aimed at creating or increasing the utility value of goods and services, but also as a manifestation of human responsibility as leaders on this earth. Using an Islamic economic interpretation of the verses of the Qur'an and hadith, this study aims to examine the concept of production in depth from an Islamic economic perspective. Using a descriptive-analytical approach, this research technique utilizes a literature review to examine Islamic economic literature and relevant interpretations, in addition to primary sources such as the Qur'an and hadith. The results show that the Qur'an and hadith provide a framework for production that integrates moral, social, and spiritual values ​​into economic activities, utilizes natural resources optimally and sustainably, and produces halal goods and services. Along with material gain, Islamic manufacturing aims to promote social justice, individual well-being, and ecological harmony. Therefore, the concept of production from an Islamic economic perspective makes economic activity a form of worship and a tool for developing well-being that adheres to the principles of Islamic law.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital role in the economy and community independence. However, the great potential of home-based businesses is often hindered by administrative issues related to business legality. This research focuses on UMKM Krecek Kulit Sapi Ashif in Jatirejo Village, which has been operating since 2018 but lacks a Business Identification Number (NIB), Household Industry Food (PIRT) permit, and halal certification due to perceived complex procedures. The main objective of this activity is to strengthen business management through product standardization and obtaining legal certifications to enhance the competitiveness of this MSME. The research method used a descriptive qualitative approach with a community service method based on mentoring, including observation, in-depth interviews, and hands-on practice in managing documents through the Online Single Submission system. The results show that through phased mentoring, UMKM Krecek Kulit Sapi Ashif successfully obtained an NIB and increased the owner’s awareness of PIRT food safety standards and halal certification procedures. The impact of this activity includes meeting administrative legality and improving knowledge, confidence, and professionalism in business management. Intensive mentoring proved crucial in transforming informal businesses into formal, legally protected entities.

Community service with the theme of Socialization and Education of Legal Products for MSME and Creative Economy Actors in Temberan Village, Pangkalpinang City, is based on field conditions, where many MSME actors in the region do not have legal legality for the businesses they run and lack basic knowledge regarding product packaging and brand creation that have high marketability. As a result, their businesses are not developing to strengthen the creative economy and enhance the capacity of actors. The model used in this program is a direct dialogue method with the MSME actors. The discussion results showed that of the 26 participants, only 1 MSME actor had received guidance and had an NIB (Business Identification Number), but lacked a halal certificate and patent rights for their product brands. The other 25 participants were briefed for the first time regarding the importance of legal legitimacy for their business. Therefore, it can be concluded that these 25 MSME actors do not have legal legitimacy for their businesses. The team provided assistance to help register their businesses by collaborating with relevant agencies. Regarding product branding, it was found that all participants had not optimized their product branding, as most MSME actors in Temberan Village packaged their products simply without attractive branding, packaging, colors, or packaging materials. Many even used plastic wrapping without a brand. The team intervened intensively by providing further assistance to MSME actors in Temberan Village, utilizing information and communication technology to help determine product brands for those without one and to select packaging materials that follow current trends, shapes, colors, and materials to make the product more attractive and increase branding and consumer interest.

This systematic review maps how innovation, technology adoption, and Islamic entrepreneurial behaviors are intertwined and contribute to the SDGs. Searches in Scopus followed PRISMA 2020: of the 166 initial records, 46 were eliminated prior to screening; 120 filtered by title–abstract; 45 read in full; and 25 articles were analyzed in depth. Four RQs lead the synthesis: the form of innovation/adoption (RQ1), impact on behavior and performance (RQ2), and their relationship to the SDGs (RQ3). The findings show five complementary faces of innovation: (1) process-organization (knowledge management, open innovation; innovation capability), (2) sharia business/finance models (sharia venture capital, agricultural value chain finance), (3) financial and platform digitalization (fintech, Islamic crowdfunding), (4) technological innovation in business models (e.g., urban farming–aquaponics) that are value-framed, and (5) halal product/marketing innovation (halal assurance and halal trust). Behind that, the drivers are layered: individual values and psychology, Islamic HRM cultural orientation and organizational learning, Islamic finance architecture and regulation, and access to digital literacy and trust in the platform. The impact is multidimensional performance, access to ethical capital, halal market behavior, and social and religious environmental outcomes with strong contributions to SDG 8 and SDG 9, and footprints on SDGs 1–2, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17. This SLR offers an integrated financial innovation value framework and proposes SDGs micro-indicators; limitations mainly in the variation of measurements and the dominance of cross-section designs.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of performance management at the micro–enterprise AMANAH YOGURT, located in Candimulyo, Kiringan, Boyolali. The business employs 11 workers with specific task divisions: 7 in packaging, 1 in production, 2 in marketing responsible for promotion and advertising, and 1 supervisor who monitors the production process while also assisting in production ac,tivities. The daily production capacity reaches 500 packs during peak demand and 350 packs under normal conditions. This research applies a descriptive qualitative approach through observations and informal interviews with the owner and employees. The findings indicate that AMANAH YOGURT has implemented performance management through the application of production SOP, clear task distribution, informal evaluative communication between the owner and employees, as well as consistent adherence to hygiene standards and product quality. AMANAH YOGURT products have been distributed across Java Island, Bali, and even Mataram through bus logistics, travel services, and direct delivery for nearby areas. Halal certification and BPOM authorization further enhance consumer trust and strengthen the competitiveness of the business.

This study examines the integration of maqasid al-shariah and digital governance in halal value chains using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) guided by the PRISMA 2020 framework. Articles indexed in Scopus from 2020–2025 were analyzed to identify theoretical patterns and research gaps. The findings indicate that existing studies remain fragmented, with maqasid primarily treated as a normative concept and digital governance addressed mainly from technological or compliance perspectives. This research proposes an integrative conceptual model linking maqasid al-shariah, digital governance, stakeholder engagement, institutional legitimacy, strategic resources, and sustainability outcomes. The synthesis demonstrates that maqasid can function as a strategic governance framework, while digital governance operationalizes Islamic values through transparent and measurable practices. The study contributes theoretically by repositioning maqasid as a strategic management lens and practically by offering guidance for value-based digital transformation in the halal ecosystem. Overall, maqasid-based digital governance emerges as a new paradigm for building ethical, resilient, and sustainable halal value chains.

Financial purity is a fundamental principle in Islamic economics that emphasizes the management of assets in a halal, fair, and responsible manner in accordance with sharia provisions. In the context of Islamic financial institutions, zakat plays a strategic role as an instrument for the purification of assets (tazkiyat al-mal) and as a mechanism for wealth redistribution to achieve social justice. This study aims to analyze the role of zakat in maintaining the financial purity of Islamic financial institutions. The research method used is a quantitative approach with an explanatory design. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire distributed to managers and related parties in Islamic financial institutions that have zakat management programs. The research variables include zakat management as the independent variable and financial purity as the dependent variable, which were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. The results of this study indicate that zakat management has a positive and significant impact on the financial sanctity of Islamic financial institutions, primarily through increased sharia compliance, transparency, and institutional accountability. This finding confirms that zakat serves not only as an obligatory act of worship but also as a strategic instrument in strengthening the ethics, legitimacy, and social responsibility of Islamic financial institutions. This research is expected to provide theoretical and practical contributions to the development of sustainable zakat governance in the Islamic financial system.

This study, entitled "Analysis of the Application of Sharia Economic Principles in Nuris Medika Fund Management," aims to analyze the extent to which Sharia economic principles are applied in the fund management system at the Nuris Medika healthcare institution. Sharia economic principles emphasize justice, transparency, mutual assistance (ta'awun), and the prohibition of riba (usury), gharar (gharar), and maysir (gambling). This study used a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation of managers and related parties at Nuris Medika. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The research results indicate that fund management at Nuris Medika largely adheres to Islamic economic principles, particularly in terms of transparency in fund use, social responsibility, and the implementation of an interest-free system in internal financial transactions. However, several aspects still need to be strengthened, such as the development of more systematic Sharia-based standard operating procedures (SOPs) and increasing Sharia economic literacy among all institution managers. Overall, the implementation of Islamic economic principles at Nuris Medika can be categorized as good and has the potential to become a model for financial management in Islamic boarding school-based healthcare institutions based on Islamic values.

This study critically examines the halal product certification process conducted by the Indonesian Council of Ulama (Majelis Ulama Indonesia, MUI) of South Sulawesi from the perspective of maslahah (public interest). The research is grounded in the urgent need to protect Muslim consumers, particularly in light of the growing consumption of both local and imported products that often lack clear halal status. While numerous studies have explored halal certification at the national level, there remains a significant gap in examining the regional dynamics and implementation of MUI fatwas, especially in South Sulawesi. This study aims to analyze the approaches employed by MUI South Sulawesi in determining halal certification and assess the extent to which maslahah serves as the guiding principle in their process. The research adopts a field research methodology with a descriptive qualitative approach and uses ushuliyyah (Islamic legal methodology) as its analytical framework. Data collection was carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that MUI South Sulawesi consistently upholds the principles of Islamic law in the halal certification process, emphasizing critical ingredients, production processes, and the cleanliness of facilities. Although the use of additives such as coloring and preservatives is permitted, it is contingent upon their halal status and freedom from impurities (najis). This approach reflects a moderate application of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, demonstrating adaptability to industrial developments while maintaining a cautious and principled stance. The study underscores the importance of transparency and education for business actors, and recommends further research focusing on post-certification supervision or comparative studies across regions. These findings offer valuable contributions to strengthening Indonesia’s halal assurance system based on the principles of public welfare.

The obligation to consume halal food is a fundamental right of Muslim consumers, guaranteed by Islamic principles and Indonesian positive law. However, in practice, many food business operators still distribute products that have not obtained halal certification, resulting in legal uncertainty and potential material and immaterial losses for Muslim consumers. This study aims to analyze the forms of legal protection available to Muslim consumers regarding food products that are not halal-certified and to examine the responsibility of business actors as well as the role of the government in ensuring halal food compliance in Indonesia, using Sushi Go Restaurant as a case study. This research applies a normative juridical method with a statutory and case approach, supported by library research of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The findings indicate that legal protection for Muslim consumers has been comprehensively regulated through Law Number 8 of 1999 on Consumer Protection and Law Number 33 of 2014 on Halal Product Assurance. Nevertheless, the implementation of these regulations remains inadequate, particularly in terms of supervision and law enforcement against non-compliant business actors. The absence of halal certification and insufficient disclosure of halal information at Sushi Go Restaurant potentially violates Muslim consumers’ rights to legal certainty and accurate information. Therefore, stronger regulatory enforcement, improved supervision, and increased awareness among business actors and consumers are essential to ensure effective legal protection for Muslim consumers.

The Tambang Ayam Village Tourism Village in Serang Regency has great potential for community-based tourism and halal tourism development. However, this area still faces various challenges such as limited tourism information systems, suboptimal coordination between stakeholders, and unprofessional management of creative economy products. This community service activity aims to provide the community and village officials with an understanding of public service innovations and creative economy assistance in supporting the development of the tourism village. The implementation method includes an initial survey, community service, and outreach. The activity was held on July 26, 2025, at the Tambang Ayam Village Hall, with 70 residents in attendance. The results of the activity demonstrated high community enthusiasm, marked by active participation in discussions and questions and answers. In addition to outreach, the activity also included the provision of cooking equipment to support the creative economy and free health checks for residents. Through this activity, it is hoped that the tourism village can develop into a competitive and sustainable tourist destination.

The Halal Management Sistem (HMS) has often been positioned as an administrative compliance tool that focuses on regulatory and certification requirements. This approach has the potential to simplify the meaning of halal by overlooking the inherent values, especially in the context of Muslim businesses. This study aims to interpret the understanding of the Halal Management Sistem not only as an administrative compliance mechanism, but also as an expression of worship and spiritual commitment in business practices. This study uses a qualitative approach through a literature review of scientific articles, books, and relevant publications discussing halal management, Islamic business ethics, and the perspectives of business actors. The results of the study show that the HMS is understood by business actors as a manifestation of religious obedience integrated into economic activities, where the application of halal principles is seen as part of devotion to God and a form of moral responsibility in running a business. In this understanding, administrative compliance is positioned as an implication of spiritual awareness, not as the main objective of the sistem's implementation. The research findings also indicate that the spiritual meaning of SMH encourages consistency in halal practices and strengthens long-term business orientation. Conceptually, this study has implications for the development of halal management studies by placing the spiritual dimension as the main foundation in the implementation of the Halal Management Sistem, particularly in supporting sustainable and ethical business practices.

This community service activity aimed to enhance the security and efficiency of halal certification mentoring services at the Aurum First Sunrise community in Surakarta. The main challenge faced by the partner was the risk of sensitive SME data leakage such as ID cards, recipes, and supply chain information, due to the lack of an adequate document security mechanism.
