The global halal industry faces fundamental challenges in terms of supply chain reliability, especially when the existing verification system is not fully able to guarantee product integrity from upstream to downstream in a transparent and accountable manner. This article offers a conceptual model that formulates the three main values of the Qur'an, namely 'adl (justice), amanah (trust), and maslahah (public welfare), as applied operational principles that are integrated into the halal industry digital traceability system. Using a qualitative-conceptual research approach that relies on library research methods, systematic literature review, and theoretical framework analysis, this study builds a layered model architecture that includes five functional layers: input, processing, storage, output, and governance. Each layer is organically linked to one or more Qur'anic values as a normative foundation as well as a technical guide. The results of the analysis show that these three values are not just ethical constructs that are symbolic, but have a strong structural conformity with the working principles of blockchain technology, the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and decentralized data management systems. The resulting model has been tested for feasibility through a conceptual validation process based on triangulation of experts from the fields of sharia, information technology, and the halal food industry. These findings contribute to the development of an ethical-technical framework that can be operationalized by regulators, business actors, and digital platform developers in a sustainable halal ecosystem.
