Islamic Education, Halal Entrepreneurs, Entrepreneurship, Business Ethics, Conceptual FrameworkAbstract
Islamic education plays a strategic role in shaping ethical, competent, and sustainable halal entrepreneurs. This study employs a library research approach to develop an integrative conceptual framework linking Islamic education values, entrepreneurial competence, and halal entrepreneurship practices. The findings indicate that core Islamic values, such as honesty, trustworthiness, justice, and social responsibility, can be applied to cultivate character, ethics, and entrepreneurial skills for managing halal businesses. The resulting conceptual framework can guide Islamic educational institutions in designing curricula, learning modules, and entrepreneurship training programs based on Sharia principles. The study also highlights the importance of integrating education and halal entrepreneurship practice to enhance graduates’ readiness in facing global market challenges. The limitation of this research is its theoretical nature and lack of empirical testing, suggesting that future studies should examine the framework’s effectiveness in real-world contexts.
