“…Another significant finding is that theological reasons are not the main factor shaping the model of coexistence of halal products in the non-Muslim community – this differs from the literature that has discussed halal products to date (Katuk et al , 2021; Wilkins et al , 2019; Yakin and Christians, 2021). Shared heritage and ancestry represent the strength and adhesive force of community bonds, reflecting the values and morality of local life.…”

“…It can then be said that halal is always attached to Islamic theological reasons (Sūrat, 5: 88; 2: 172). Although scholars have discussed halal products for theological reasons, a massive debate continues on the aspect of business interests (Graf, 2015; Yakin and Christians, 2021). This shift brings a new space for coexistence, which is not only discussed by the Muslim community but also recognised on the basis of business interests by the non-Muslim community as well.…”

“…The acceptance of halal food product by non-Muslim communities is a great concern influenced by business interests, as evidenced by scholarly works (e.g. Calder, 2020; Supaat and Nizam, 2019; Yakin and Christians, 2021) and debates in non-Muslim countries worldwide, including Japan (Yamaguchi, 2019; Yusof and Shutto, 2014), Thailand (Nawawi et al , 2019) and the USA and European countries (Annabi and Ibidapo-Obe, 2017; Ayyub, 2015b; Bonne et al , 2008). These countries are actively involved in the halal certification process.…”

Purpose This study aims to revisit the practice of multiculturalism within the co-existence of halal food products in non-Muslim communities in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected through observations, interviews and documentation using a case study approach. Findings The important findings in the existing study indicate that social practice related to the acceptance and expression of non-Muslim communities towards halal products and certificates is integrated into the daily life of the people. It has contrasted with other regions in Indonesia where debates between cultural and structural aspects of halal product studies and certification prevail, often dominated by ego-sectoral interests and Islamic theology. Although Kupang’s predominantly non-Muslim population, the practice and model of halal products emerge with uniqueness within communal traditions and socio-cultural practices take precedence over structural factors. Research limitations/implications The most significant contribution of this research lies in mutual understanding, interfaith dialogue and religiosity that have fused into social life, specially building social coexistence in halal products. Practical implications These findings contribute to policymakers to reformulate halal certification and products, which are not solely driven by the interests of the Muslim community. Originality/value This study presents a new synthetic theory about halal products, confirming a case study in Kupang where non-Muslim communities accepted halal products as a reflection of cultural and local customs. This acceptance has led to the development of a new identity without contradictions among business interests, ideologies, sectoral aspects, hygiene, health and structural state movements.

“…Second, there is a competition between "moderate Islam" and "rigorous Islam." Third, an issue of different interpretations about halal standard exists, between "strict and severe" vs. "soft and negotiable" [41]. As in many countries where Islam is a minority, some concerns owing to a centralized certification body contribute to no benefits.…”

This study explores Japan's transformation by taking halal tourism as a case study by analyzing Japan's tourism strategy in targeting Southeast Asian Muslims successfully. The research looks at Japan's halal business development up to 2019, before the COVID-19 outbreak. The introduction of halal tourism has gained popularity among Muslim travelers, especially Southeast Asians. The omotenashi (hospitality) has become a currency in Japan's tourism industry and has been a significant national economic driver for the last ten years. The advent of halal tourism transforms Japan significantly, from a 'developing country' in the context of tourism to a 'tourism-oriented nation.' The transformation is necessary for Japan's survival, considering the weakened progress in the national economy in the post-Bubble economy. Based on experience, Japanese tourism suffered stagnation due to the 'Kokusaika' (internationalization) policy. The 2008-2009 crisis led the Japanese government to look for alternatives to improve the national economy by promoting Japanese identity by introducing omotenashi. The research finds that omotenashi has successfully altered Japanese perception of Muslims as Japan becomes more multicultural than before. This study is explanatory and qualitative. Data were obtained from both observation and document/literature study.
