The Meaning Of The Implementation Of Sharia Management In Building Economic Resilience Of Halal Busines

Abstract

The phenomenon of economic uncertainty triggered by global conditions with the character of VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity) has challenged the resilience of micro and small business actors in various sectors, including halal businesses. In this context, sharia management has the strategic potential to become a foundation of value in building economic resilience that is just and blessed. This research aims to understand the meaning of the implementation of sharia management in building economic resilience in halal business actors in the food sector in Pasuruan, East Java. The approach used is qualitative with a case study design, involving three business actors, namely Rujak Mak Mut, Catering Ayun Wardah, and Tomoro Coffe Taman Dayu. Data were obtained through semi-structured interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles & Huberman thematic model. The results of the study show that the implementation of sharia management not only functions as a business management system, but also as a moral, spiritual, and social framework that strengthens business resilience. There are three main pillars that make up the resilience of the halal business economy: (1) sharia management as an ethical compass in decision-making, (2) integration of spirituality with adaptive strategies, (3) value-based innovation to maintain business sustainability. These findings confirm that economic resilience in an Islamic perspective is not solely measured by financial survival, but by the alignment between spiritual, social, and managerial strategies. The implications of this study underline the importance of strengthening spiritual and social capacity for halal MSME actors, as well as the need for  an Islamic resilience framework model that places sharia values as the main pillar in national halal economic development policies.
