About the Journal

The "Journal of Halal Ethics and Research (JOHER)" is a distinguished academic journal with a primary goal of breaking down the conventional boundaries between knowledge domains and catalyzing the progress of human intellectual endeavors. This journal unites scientific and religious dimensions of Halal research while promoting universal values. While recognizing the significant strides achieved in scientific fields, JOHER firmly believes in the power of referencing an epistemological framework that transcends mere reason and observation, acknowledging the vital role of religion. Therefore, the journal welcomes an extensive range of subject areas, all deeply intertwined with Halal research.

JOHER serves as a robust medium for the exchange of ideas and research among scholars, academicians, and practitioners. The journal's scope encompasses a multitude of dimensions, from theoretical examinations of Halal principles to addressing the current challenges faced in their application.
