The legality was first developed by the MUI Institute for Food. Drug, and Cosmetic Studies (LPPOM). Halal certificate is a requirement for various products, from raw materials, additives, to packaging, as well as related services such as logistics and packaging, as well as related services such as logistics and cleaning services. Before the existence of halal certification, the government had issued a regulation that requiring the marking of products that are not halal. 1 However, awareness of the the importance of halal certification has increased after the discovery of lard content in some food and beverage products This finding triggered public concern and had a significant impact on the sales of a number of products. The Government of Indonesia has recognized the huge potential of MSMEs and has introduced various incentives to support their modernization process. These measures include financial assistance, training as well as access to the latest technology, all of which are aimed at improving competitiveness and productivity of MSMEs in this digital era. With this support, it is hoped that MSMEs can grow more rapidly and contribute more significantly to the national economy. Currently Indonesia has ranked 4th among 73 countries in terms of its supporting businesses in implementing Islamic economic principles 3. Halal refers to anything that is permitted to be used and consumed without causing sin. In contrast, haram is everything that is prohibited by Allah SWT and its violation will lead to punishment in the Hereafter. Consuming food and drinks that are halal, clean, and good . is a religious obligation. is a religious obligation that every Muslim must obey. By adhering to this rule, a Muslim not only maintains cleanliness and physical health, but also demonstrates devotion to God. and physical health, but also shows obedience to 1 Anita Priantina and Safeza Mohd Sapian.

Halal certification for Micro. Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME. is an important factor in increasing product competitiveness, especially in areas with a majority Muslim population such as Bangkalan Regency with the number of MSMEs totaling 82,252 data obtained through interviews from the Cooperative Office for Micro Business, but ironically, most MSMEs in the Regency do not yet have halal certification. 5 This is evidenced by data obtained based on interviews that researchers conducted with Ministry of Religious Affairs Mr. Fathur Rozi Data on MSMEs that have been halal certified in Bangkalan as many as 944 and those who have registered for halal certification but have not yet issued the certificate amounted to 975. This certification not only ensures that products produced in accordance with halal standards, but also serves as a quality assurance that can increase consumer confidence. However, the halal certification process is often considered complicated and time-consuming, especially for MSMEs that have limited resources and understanding related to halal certification 7. So this study aims to identify the strategy of accelerating halal certification using the AHP method. By using AHP, priority strategies that need to be taken as strategic steps to accelerate halal certification will be found. In facing this challenge, accelerating the halal certification process is very important. one of the steps needed is the issuance of laws to support the halal certification process. required is the issuance of laws to support implementation of this halal standard. Based on Law Number 33 of the Year 2014 concerning Halal Product Guarantee. Article 4 states that halal certification of halal product is mandatory. 4 Sifa Aprilia and Anita Priantina.

Halal product guarantee aims to provide comfort, security, safety, and certainty of the availability of halal products for the community in consuming and using products. Without an effective strategy to accelerate halal certification in Bangkalan Regency, it risks being left behind in market competition, both locally and globally. at both local and global levels. Therefore, this research is very important to find solutions that can help MSMEs overcome the obstacles in the halal certification process. The application of the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method is very relevant in this context. AHP allows stakeholders to identify, analyze, and prioritize various factors that affect the acceleration of halal certification. By Thus, the strategies generated through this method are expected to not only be effective, but also in accordance with the needs and capacity of MSMEs in Bangkalan Regency. Given the importance of halal certification in maintaining sustainability and development of MSMEs, this research is very urgent to provide practical and directed solutions. In other studies, it is also explained that to encourage the acceleration of halal certification, namely the government, in this case BPJPH, should encourage religious-based educational institutions or universities to establish halal centers. Research from Poppy Arsil et al 9 discusses the priority of problems, priority solutions, and priority strategies in increasing the number of halal certifications in the culinary sector in South Bangka Regency. The research method uses Analytical Network Process (ANP). Research from Aprilia and Priantina discussing the halal selfdeclare process makes it a strategy to accelerate halal certification. accelerate halal certification halal certification for MSMES. 10 Research from Puloh Rully Trihantana and Ermi Suryani11 discussing the Sampang,Ay Qawwam : The LeaderAos Writing 3, no. : 10Ae20, https://w. org/index. php/qawwam/article/view/110. 9 Poppy Arsil et al.

Research from Ahmad Havid Jakiyudin and Alfarid Fedro12 discusses the MSE halal certification acceleration program carried out by the government, with a descriptive research method using a normative juridical approach. Research from Usnan. Aisy Rahmadani, and Kortis Luhut Maharani13 discusses the problems and strategies for optimizing halal certification in Indonesia, using qualitative research methods. So based on the existing studies above, researchers are interested in researching something similar. However, the difference with previous research is that researchers use the AHP method because this method is still rarely used in analyzing halal certification acceleration strategies. Based on the research that has been done, there is still a gap for further research related to the halal certification acceleration strategy with a different method approach. This study uses the AHP analysis method which produces more rational recommendations because it is based on primary data. There is inconsistency in the results of previous studies, so this study is expected to be able to provide recommendations from other perspectives from different research areas. The results of this study will provide a scientific contribution that with the AHP method the most urgent strategies will be found to increase participation in halal This study will certainly provide a practical contribution to relevant stakeholders to formulate appropriate policies for the acceleration of halal certification, considering that the benefits of this halal certification will be felt not only by consumers, but also by producers, especially for marketing expansion.

Strategy for Accelerating Halal Certification for MSMEs Based on the AHP Method from the Perspective of Maslahah Mursalah Accelerating halal certification for MSMEs is crucial to enhancing economic opportunities and consumer confidence in halal products. The use of the AHP method allows for a systematic evaluation of factors and prioritization of effective strategies. Integrating the perspective of maslahah mursalah ensures that these strategies not only achieve efficiency but also uphold Islamic ethical principles by maximizing public benefit and minimizing harm. From the perspective of maslahah mursalah, the strategies mentioned above not only aim to fulfill the immediate needs of MSMEs and consumers for halal assurance but also serve the broader public interest by promoting social welfare, economic justice, and community By prioritizing the role of halal certification bodies and increasing awareness through socialization programs, this approach ensures that the certification process is efficient, transparent, and inclusive. This aligns with the principle of maslahah mursalah, which advocates for solutions that bring maximum benefit and prevent harm to society, thereby supporting sustainable development and ethical business practices in Bangkalan. By focusing on strengthening certification bodies, increasing awareness, facilitating government support, and stimulating market demand, stakeholders can collaboratively accelerate halal certification. This holistic approach promotes sustainable development and ethical business practices within the MSMEs sector.
