All Ceylon Jamiyyathul Ulama

The All Ceylon Jamiyyathul Ulama (ACJU) is Sri Lanka's national Muslim scholars organisation and the primary body responsible for issuing halal certifications in Sri Lanka. ACJU's Halal Certification Division certifies food products, food-service establishments, cosmetics, and consumer goods for compliance with Islamic dietary law. Sri Lanka has a Muslim population of approximately 2 million — around 9% of the national population — and its food manufacturing sector exports to Muslim-majority markets across the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and East Africa. ACJU halal certificates are recognised by JAKIM (Malaysia) and are accepted within the MUIS (Singapore) recognition framework, providing Sri Lankan food exporters with market access to key Southeast Asian halal import hubs. Sri Lanka's major halal export products include processed seafood, coconut-based products, confectionery, and spices. ACJU also provides halal awareness education and consultancy to Sri Lankan food businesses and has been a long-standing pillar of halal compliance infrastructure in South Asia.
