ASEAN has to play an active role in halal education since Muslims stress on the importance of the permissibility of products to be used and consumed. The concern of halal education in ASEAN increase tremendously as a result of increasing the Muslims population in ASEAN countries. In this regards, various Islamic political policies have been implemented in Negara Brunei Darussalam for the purpose of disseminating and developing halal education in global and modern society. This paper is an attempt to highlight the experience of Universiti Islam Sultan Sharif Ali (UNISSA)’s halalan Thayyiban research Centre in disseminating halal science through halal education and research for global reach.

Salah satu bidang yang berkembang pesat sehingga ke peringkat antarabangsa pada masa ini, iaitu industri halal. Bukankah aspek halal itu merupakan tuntutan utama dalam Ugama Islam? Nilai pasaran global adalah semakin meningkat dan dianggarkan berjumlah sangat besar. Ia meningkat sebanyak 16% dari keseluruhan industri makanan dunia dan boleh menjangkau sehingga 20% dari perdagangan dunia dalam produk makanan sahaja. Oleh sebab itu, Beta menyokong penuh rancangan UNISSA untuk menubuhkan sebuah Pusat Kecemerlangan Penyelidikan Halal di UNISSA sebagai pemangkin kepada hasrat Beta untuk menjadikan Negara Brunei Darussalam sebagai 'hub halal global' yang akan membantu memacu pertumbuhan ekonomi negara.” (Pelita Brunei, 26 Oktober 2016/25 Muharram 1438). Translation: “In fact, there is still a wide range of opportunity that needs to be explored by UNISSA. During this time, halal industry has become one of the most rapidly- developing fields which spreads globally. Has it not that the halal aspect been demanded in the religion of Islam? The global market value is increasing and it is estimated to be large. It increases by 16% of the total of world’s food industry and can reach up to 20% of the world’s commerce in the food products alone. Therefore, I fully support UNISSA’s plan to establish Centre of Excellence of Halal Research at UNISSA; as a catalyst to my wish to make Brunei Darussalam as the ‘global halal-hub’, wherein will aid in boosting the country’s economic growth.
