The objective of this paper is to solve the challenges of recombinant collagen-like protein to overcome the high demands of collagen in this digital era, limited supplies of collagen alternative, difficulty in addressing the post-translational modification of recombinant human collagen and the Halal certification of the material itself. It relies on inductive methodology to collect the Qur'anic verses as well as Hadith that related to face the challenges of recombinant collagen-like protein and the analytical method to analyse Qur'anic verses and Sunnah associated with this subject.
