This study aims to determine and analyze the potential and challenges of culinary businesses, the implementation of digitalization and halal certification, and the development of an effective and sustainable model for the "Resto Apung" culinary business to support food economic independence in coastal villages. The research was conducted at "Resto Apung" using a qualitative descriptive method with data collection techniques such as interviews, observations, and focus group discussions. The findings show that the "Resto Apung" business holds significant potential as a culinary destination with a strong attraction due to its unique location and menu offerings based on local marine products. However, several challenges hinder its development, including low digital literacy among business managers, lack of structured and professional management systems, and the absence of halal certification which is crucial in targeting broader Muslim consumer segments. Currently, digitalization has only been applied in the marketing aspect, primarily through social media, while other aspects such as financial management, customer service, and operational processes are still managed conventionally. Nevertheless, the managers have shown awareness and initiatives to improve, especially in recognizing halal certification as a strategic competitive advantage. The proposed development model integrates digitalization into all aspects of business management, enhances human resource capacity through technical and managerial training, and includes efforts to obtain halal certification. This holistic approach is expected to increase the competitiveness of the culinary business, optimize local potential, and ultimately contribute to the achievement of food economic independence in coastal areas.

This study aims to identify the factors that influence the local community in developing the swallow nest business and to examine how the practice of swallow nest farming aligns with the principles of Islamic business ethics in Marioriwawo District, Soppeng Regency. The swallow nest industry has grown significantly in this area, shifting the economic landscape from primarily agricultural activities to a more diversified business sector. Before the emergence of this business, most residents were involved in farming. However, due to factors such as unpredictable harvests and unstable agricultural income, many community members have turned to swallow nest cultivation as an alternative and promising source of livelihood. According to Islamic business ethics, the practice of breeding swallows is permissible, as long as it does not involve cruelty to animals. This view is supported by the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) Fatwa Number 2 of 2012, which states that raising or cultivating swallows is allowed, provided the birds are not harmed or subjected to distress. Furthermore, the consumption and trade of swallow nests are also considered halal under Islamic law, adding to the business's appeal among the Muslim population. To explore the underlying motivations and social dynamics of this business shift, the study employed a qualitative research method. This approach was chosen to gain a deeper understanding of the local context, including the experiences, beliefs, and socioeconomic conditions of the people involved. The results revealed several influencing factors: the potential for high profit from selling swallow nests, the challenges faced in traditional agriculture (such as frequent crop failure), and the religious assurance that the business is acceptable under Islamic teachings. Overall, the swallow nest business represents a strategic and ethical economic opportunity for the community, enabling them to improve their livelihoods while staying aligned with their religious values.

Indonesia, as the country with the largest Muslim population in the world, has a significant demand for halal products, including pharmaceuticals. Halal certification serves not only as a regulatory compliance requirement but also as a strategic tool to build consumer trust, ensuring that products meet both religious and quality standards. This article aims to descriptively examine the process and challenges of preparing for halal certification in the pharmaceutical industry, focusing on the evaluation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and excipients. The study is based on firsthand experience during a pharmacist professional practice (PKPA) at a national pharmaceutical company. Key areas of focus include material flowchart analysis, identification of critical non-halal points, and the implementation of the Halal Product Assurance System SJPH, in line with Indonesian halal regulatory frameworks. The findings highlight the importance of systematically identifying critical points, especially in evaluating the origin and status of materials such as alcohol, enzymes, and activated carbon, which frequently raise concerns in halal compliance. Furthermore, successful implementation requires comprehensive documentation, revision of standard operating procedures (SOPs), and staff training to ensure traceability and consistency throughout the supply chain. Collaboration with the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) and the Halal Product Assurance Organizing Agency (BPJPH) is also vital for technical guidance and certification processes. The study concludes that a structured and integrated approach to halal assurance not only facilitates certification but also enhances operational quality and market competitiveness. This study is expected to provide practical insights for pharmaceutical industries in effectively and sustainably implementing halal regulations, contributing to broader consumer protection and industry accountability.

Furthermore, the simultaneous analysis confirms that the combination of these three factors significantly influences loyalty among visitors to the halal tourism destination. These results align with the Customer Satisfaction Theory, which posits that positive experiences related to service delivery, destination appeal, and the availability of appropriate facilities contribute to higher levels of satisfaction, ultimately fostering loyalty. The implications of this study suggest that halal tourism destination managers should prioritize enhancing service quality, preserving the cultural and historical appeal of attractions, and ensuring the availability of facilities that meet the specific needs of Muslim tourists. By doing so, destinations like Maimun Palace can cultivate sustainable visitor loyalty, which is essential for long-term tourism development and competitiveness in the halal tourism sector. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on halal tourism by empirically validating the role of service, attraction, and facilities in shaping visitor loyalty. Future studies are recommended to explore additional variables such as religious compliance, digital engagement, and cultural sensitivity to provide a more comprehensive understanding of loyalty drivers in halal tourism contexts.

The Mekarsari Village KKN student activity program with a qualitative descriptive method was carried out in Mekarsari Village, Lirik District, Indragiri Hulu Regency, to be precise at the Meranti Jaya Sports Hall (GOR). Indonesia's population with a Muslim majority makes the need for halal products very large.

The development of digital technology has revolutionized consumption patterns among consumers, including Muslim consumers. Digitalization has not only brought convenience and efficiency, but also created new challenges in the application of Islamic consumption values. Consumption, which is viewed as part of worship in Islamic economics, requires adherence to the principles of halal, thayyib, justice, prohibition of israf and gharar, and social responsibility. This study aims to conceptually examine how consumers play a role in strengthening the Islamic economy in the digital age, as well as how Sharia consumption principles can be ethically implemented in a dynamic digital environment. The method used is a literature review, examining various academic literature, scientific journals, and documents related to Islamic economics and the digitalization of consumption. The findings indicate that Muslim consumers hold a strategic position in shaping value-based markets, driving the growth of the halal sector, and supporting the sharia-compliant SME ecosystem. On the other hand, low sharia-based digital literacy and the dominance of digital consumerist culture pose challenges that must be anticipated. Strengthening literacy, adaptive regulations, and collective awareness transformation are needed to create a digital consumption pattern that is blessed, fair, and sustainable in accordance with the objectives of Islamic law.

This research aims to analyze the evolution and innovation of sharia savings products in Indonesia through a literature-based qualitative approach. The background of the research is based on the significant growth of the national sharia banking sector, driven by government regulations, technological advancements, and changes in customer preferences. This study uses a literature review method by analyzing various secondary sources such as scientific journals, regulations, and financial reports to identify the patterns of Islamic savings product development over time. The research results show that the transformation of sharia savings products is driven not only by religious aspects but also by the demand for service efficiency and financial inclusion. The merger of several Islamic banks into Bank Syariah Indonesia also accelerated the digitalization of Islamic savings services. Although there are challenges such as low Islamic financial literacy and limited infrastructure, development opportunities remain wide open through educational strategies and the integration of the halal ecosystem. Innovations such as the opening of online accounts and the diversification of goal-based products have successfully increased sharia financial inclusion, particularly among the younger generation. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of adaptive product development strategies, financial education, and cross-sector collaboration to strengthen the competitiveness and sustainability of sharia savings products in Indonesia.
