Alhamdulillah the IC Halal IV in 2022 has been conducted successfully. Therefore allow me to extend my gratitude to Allah Subhanahu Wataala and all parties who participated and contributed to the international conference.

It is trully an honour for us to host the hybrid conference on Halal, Policy, and Sustainability Issues IV from 11 to 12 July 2022. In July 2022 the pandemic of covid 19 has been undercontolled therefore we decided to conduct the conference in hybrid format with a strict health protocol. There were 2 invited speakers attended the conference in person and 3 joined online. The same as the confence participants, there were about 20 per cent parcipated offline and the other 80 per cent joined the conference online. This conference was special not only because it was conducted in hybrid format but also attended by 5 international speakers from 4 different countries. In addition, the conference was attended by 122 participants with great insight from 40 institutions across Indonesia.

Last but not least, let us extend out gratitude to all authors, participants, and sponsors without them the conference cannot be held succefully in the very challenging situation. I hope we will see you again in the next year conference.

In the name of Allah, the most beneficent and the most merciful. As the chairman of the 3^rd IC-Halal UMI 2021, I would like to express my sincer appreciation for the efforts that have been made by the foundation, university, the invited speakers, my fellow commitees, and all presenters.  Alhamdulillah the conference has been conducted successfully in during the covid 19 pandemic.

Our biggest challenge in the cofference was the government policy to restrict the society’s movement to control the spread of Covid 19. We belive the pandemic should not stop our second your conference. Therefore we challage our selves to hold full online conference. The conference was attended by 8 invited speakers from 7 different countries, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philiphines, Japan, Egypt, Canada, and the United States of America.    

Finally I pray to Allah may this abstract book will benefit all the stakeholders, because there were so many insightful concepts, ideas, and models that can be used as inspiration. I want to give special aknocledgement for the invoted speakers and the authors for trusting and joining conference this year. We would be delighted to see you again the next year conference.
