The Concept of Sustainable Consumption from a Halal Perspective in Urban Communities

Abstract

This study synthesizes literature on integrating Halal concepts and sustainable consumption within urban Muslim communities through an Integrative Literature Review approach. The findings reveal a conceptual transformation of Halal from legal-formal compliance toward ecological ethics rooted in Maqāṣid al-Sharī'ah principles. However, a persistent attitude-behavior gap exists among urban Muslim consumers who demonstrate environmental awareness yet struggle translating it into sustainable practices. Religiosity and spiritual constructs like wara' emerge as significant determinants, while price sensitivity, social norms, and digital consumerism act as substantial barriers. This study identifies the absence of a comprehensive framework bridging Islamic theological foundations and actual consumption behavior within Indonesia's urban context, and proposes a conceptual roadmap for future research
