Assalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

Alhamdulillahirabbil aalamin. All praise is due to Allah s.w.t. Peace and blessings be upon our beloved Prophet Muhammad s.a.w., his family, and companions.

The International Institute for Halal Research and Training (INHART) was established in 2011 with a clear objective to support IIUM’s commitment to advancing the Malaysian government’s vision of positioning the country as a global hub for halal products and services. Since its inception, INHART strives to contribute meaningfully to the development of the halal industry and ecosystem. While INHART grows and evolve, we continue to stand at the intersection of tradition and transformation; upholding the principles of Shari’ah while responding to the evolving needs of the halal industry. Our mission remains anchored in advancing halal as a holistic and value-driven system that transcends mere compliance, shaping ethical economies, sustainable communities, and global trust.

Moving forward in the dynamic and competitive global landscape, INHART is dedicated to excelling in core pursuits of thought leadership, rigorous research, and impactful training. INHART’s commitment to the Tawhidic epistemology – a worldview grounded in divine unity – ensures that our scholarship remains deeply relevant to Muslim societies while engaging global standards and scientific advancements.

The concept of halalan toyyiban is not merely a label; it is a comprehensive paradigm; one that reflects purity, safety, transparency, and accountability. It is this ethos that guides every effort we make, from laboratory innovations to policy engagements, from community training to cross-border collaboration.
