This project deals with 1) macro-level economic activities based on Islam, that is, Shari’ah compliant industries like Islamic finance, Halal food and cosmetics industry, fashion industry (abaya, hijab, jilbab, tudung, etc), pilgrimage (hajj, umrah, ziyarah) and tourism (Muslim-friendly hotel), and 2) micro-level economic behaviors based on Islam, that is, Muslims’ production, distribution, and consumption affected by Shari’ah, especially five pillars and six articles of faith. The study region of this project includes to not only Middle East, North Africa, South, Southeast and Central Asia, but also Europe, North and South America. The joint research of researchers in this project, whose academic backgrounds are cultural anthropology, area studies, and economics, intends to investigate economic activities and behaviors based on Islam in/around Muslim world.
