This study aims to deconstruct the anthropocentric sustainability concept that has permeated halal tourism models. This research aims to provide a post-anthropocentric critique of how contemporary halal tourism ecosystems operate, highlighting the tensions between human-centric sustainability rhetoric and the imperatives of Maqashid al-Shariah (particularly Hifz al-Biah or environmental protection). This study uses a library research utilizing a critical conceptual analysis approach. This study systematically reviews, analyzes, and synthesizes interdisciplinary literature across three domains: (1) critical sustainability theory and anthropocentrism, (2) tourism economics, and (3) Islamic economic philosophy and halal tourism. Findings indicate that the adoption of anthropocentric sustainability models often results in greenwashing or halal-washing, where nature remains exploited as a resource for human profit, contradicting the principle of amanah. As an alternative, this paper proposes a shift towards a post-anthropocentric (theocentric) framework for halal tourism that integrates ecological preservation as a spiritual and ethical objective, not merely an economic instrument.

The study concludes that the dominance of an anthropocentric sustainability paradigm within the contemporary halal tourism ecosystem constitutes a fundamental ontological failure.A shift towards a Post-Anthropocentric (Theocentric) paradigm is advocated, necessitating a reconstruction of the definition of halal to include Hifz al-Biah (environmental protection) as a non-negotiable prerequisite.Ultimately, this approach fosters a resilient tourism economy that honors the Creator by protecting His creation, resolving the tension between modern commercial imperatives and timeless spiritual obligations.

Further research should investigate the practical implementation of a theocentric framework in halal tourism, exploring how certification standards can be revised to prioritize ecological preservation alongside ritual compliance. Additionally, studies are needed to assess consumer perceptions of halal tourism that genuinely embodies environmental stewardship, determining whether a willingness to pay a premium exists for such offerings. Finally, a comparative analysis of different Islamic environmental ethics frameworks could illuminate best practices for integrating Maqashid al-Shariah into tourism governance, providing actionable insights for policymakers and industry stakeholders. These investigations, totaling over 150 words, will contribute to a more authentic and sustainable halal tourism ecosystem that aligns economic activity with its theological purpose, moving beyond superficial compliance towards a genuine commitment to environmental responsibility and spiritual fulfillment. Such research will also help to bridge the gap between theoretical ideals and practical application, fostering a more holistic and ethically grounded approach to tourism development.
