We are pleased to invite you to support and participate in the celebration of World Halal Standards Day (WHSD) 2026, to be observed on 17 May 2026.

This year’s theme, “Building Global Trust: Integrating Halal Standards for a Resilient and Digital Future,” highlights the growing importance of harmonized standards, digital transformation, and international cooperation in strengthening the global halal ecosystem.

WHSD serves as a valuable opportunity to raise awareness, promote dialogue, and showcase initiatives that contribute to the advancement of halal quality infrastructure. In this regard, we kindly encourage your organization to actively support WHSD 2026 through activities such as awareness campaigns, seminars, webinars, or social media engagement, including the use of the #WHSD2026 #SMIIC hashtags to amplify visibility and outreach.

Your contribution will play an important role in:

• Promoting the integration and implementation of OIC/SMIIC halal standards

• Enhancing global trust through harmonization and mutual recognition

• Highlighting the role of digitalization and traceability in halal systems

• Strengthening collaboration across stakeholders

We would also appreciate it if you could share your planned activities with us, so we can amplify them through our communication channels.

We look forward to your valuable support in making WHSD 2026 a meaningful and impactful global observance.
