Welcome to Global Halal Shura Hub

Your trusted hub for meaningful dialogue and collective consultation (shura) on pressing global Halal matters.

At Global Halal Shura Hub, we serve as a collaborative space dedicated to addressing critical issues related to Halal practices, ethics, and standards. Rooted in the principles of Islam, our mission is to elevate voices that speak with purpose, faith (Islam), and integrity — all in the pursuit of a Halal ecosystem that aligns with divine guidance and ethical excellence.

Our podcast series features thought-provoking discussions and compelling stories that seek to uplift the ummah (global Muslim communities)  and beyond (non-Muslim communities). We explore diverse perspectives on Halal related topics — from food, finance, Muslim lifestyle, industry and more — promoting moral and ethical approaches grounded in Islamic teachings.

Join us as we connect with knowledgeable scholars, industry experts, and inspiring changemakers. Through authentic conversations, we aim to foster awareness, spark action, and build a global community committed to integrity, transparency, and collective empowerment in the Halal sphere. 

Subscribe today for insightful content that bridges Islamic faith, knowledge, and action — empowering you to be part of a movement that champions positive change in the Halal arena.
