The first fundamental in Islam is that all things created by the almighty Allah s.w.t. are permissible or halal, except those that are explicitly prohibited in the Holy Quran or hadith. Another interesting concept closely connected with the halal concept is the safety and quality products and conducts better known as toyyiban. Hence, the halal concept should include toyyiban, or the better terms are Halalan Toyyiban, which can be translated as permissible and wholesomeness Meanwhile, the Halal industry is defined as an industry that produces and offer good quality products and services which under Sharia law. Sharia law is the law that governs Muslims' everyday conducts. The Halal industry includes sectors such as food, cosmetics, ingredients, pharmaceutical, chemicals, livestock, logistics, tourism, and most notably the Islamic finance and banking sector Halal exports are growing steadily while the performance is still very far from the targeted growth. Thus, an understanding of the determinants of Halal export flows is essential. This study aims to investigate the nexus between Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Muslim population, Halal Certificate, and distance of Halal export. The method employed in this study is the Qualitative method. Content analysis is formed to prove the relationship between those independent variables with Halal export. Limitations and future study recommendations were discussed at the end of this research.

The issue of human capital by gender has been sparsely discussed in previous literature especially male labour force. The contribution of both genders to economic growth has intensified every year. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effects of human capital by gender on economic growth in Malaysia. Data ranging from 1982 to 2018 were analysed by using the ARDL approach. The results show that higher male labour force participation rates can boost economic growth in the short run and long run in Malaysia. Higher female labour force participation rates, on the other hand, can reduce economic growth in the short run and long run in Malaysia. Therefore, the government should encourage more male labour to participate in the labour market by giving incentives. More job opportunities should be created for both genders.

Global economic challenges have forced the majority of youth to become self-employent. As such, being an entrepreneur is one of its branches. However, to start entrepreneurship, these young entrepreneurs need to be assisted in some areas especially financial. Regarding to this matter, the significance of this study is to examine the development of Malaysia’s economic growth through the youth entrepreneurship support system (Financial Assistance) for the period of 2010 until 2019. In addition, this study also will look at both the long run and short run effect of Financial Assistance on economic growth. This study will employ the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bound testing approach for Cointegration and the Error Correction Model (ECM) for short-term relationship. All the variables will be test for the stationarity of the series at all level. Through this research, hopefully an effective model of Financial Assistance in Malaysia can be proposed in order to enhance the development of economic growth through youth entrepreneurship.
