With deep gratitude and pride, I, as the Rector of UIN Alauddin Makassar, would like to extend my highest appreciation to the Halal Inspection Agency (Lembaga Pemeriksa Halal/LPH) of UIN Alauddin Makassar for achieving the highest accreditation status as a nationally and internationally recognized halal inspection institution. This is an extraordinary achievement that reflects the commitment, hard work, and dedication of the entire LPH team in building a professional, trustworthy, and sharia-compliant halal assurance system.
This accomplishment is not merely an administrative recognition but a concrete proof that the LPH of UIN Alauddin Makassar meets the highest quality standards in carrying out its duties, including halal inspection, testing, and reporting.

Assalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,
All praise be to Allah SWT, the Almighty God, for His abundant mercy and blessings that continuously empower us to contribute to the development and strengthening of the halal product assurance system in Indonesia. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad SAW, the ultimate role model in all aspects of life, including in ensuring the halalness and wholesomeness (thayyib) of consumption for the ummah.
With sincere gratitude and pride, we introduce the Halal Inspection Agency (LPH) of UIN Alauddin Makassar as a tangible contribution from the university in supporting the national halal certification program initiated by the Halal Product Assurance Organizing Agency (BPJPH).
LPH UIN Alauddin Makassar operates as an independent institution authorized and responsible for conducting halal inspections and/or testing on products submitted by business actors, ranging from food and beverages to cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, utility goods, and services. Its operations are supported by competent halal auditors, capable testing laboratories, and a workflow system aligned with regulations and sharia principles.
The primary goal of LPH is to provide credible, professional, and trustworthy halal assurance to the public and to be part of an inclusive, fair, and sustainable national halal ecosystem. As an entity under a state Islamic university, LPH UIN Alauddin Makassar bears both moral and academic responsibilities to uphold integrity and quality in every inspection process.
We also welcome collaboration with various stakeholders, including business actors, government institutions, and community groups, to collectively raise awareness about the importance of halal products and accelerate the halal certification process, particularly in Eastern Indonesia.
In conclusion, we invite all members of society and business entities to entrust the halal inspection process to LPH UIN Alauddin Makassar. May this initiative become a lasting act of devotion (amal jariyah) and a meaningful contribution to building a healthy, blessed, and divinely favored society.
