| Summary: | This study aims to analyse and determine the impact of an introductory Islamic Economics
Course to the groups of non- Muslim Economics undergraduate students at UNIMAS. The
underlying objective is to highlight the relevance of Halal Economy to all and preferably propose
a similar course as an elective to students of other programs offered by the Faculty of Economics
and Business. Data was collected from 150 graduates between years 2015 and 2019 using
online surveys. Findings show that respondents admit to having an increased understanding
and appreciation of Islamic Economics as an alternative system. In general, the results suggest
non-Muslims to be open towards the concept of Halal Economy in practice, provided efforts are
both informative and inclusive. Interest, the willingness to apply and promote the Course to
their juniors is also evident. In short, Halal Economy has the potential of becoming a global
agenda beginning with education at tertiary level. Higher learning institutions should look into
ways to incorporate it as a basic course for all business degrees. |
