This study explores the impact of TikTok marketing activities in stimulating consumer purchasing intention with trust and reliability during live streaming sessions for Muslim apparel. While there is a growing interest in shopping through live streaming, little study has been done regarding Islamic marketing. To achieve the purpose of the study, a convenience sampling method was adopted to collect data from 225 participants for assessing the effects of TikTok marketing activities on consumer behaviour. The findings suggest that most of the TikTok marketing activities enhance trust and credibility, hence influencing positive intentions to buy among consumers while attending a live stream. The insights also apply to three broader fields of Islamic marketing, consumer behaviour, and sustainable marketing, while again supporting the United Nations SDGs specifically Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production. This paper therefore advocates for more sustainable consumption patterns and responsible marketing practices, as it gives confidence and trust in online shopping for ethical consumption of goods in digital commerce. Beyond this, the study highlights how social commerce can be instrumental for the realization of economic growth (Goal 8), innovation within marketing practices, and inclusive and sustainable economic participation via digital platforms.

This study employs a bibliometric approach to examine the development of research on halal product purchase intention from 2022 to 2026, analyzing 271 open-access journal articles retrieved from the Dimensions AI database and selected through PRISMAS-guided screening, with findings revealing that the field primarily centers on the Theory of Planned Behaviour, halal awareness, certification, religiosity, trust, perceived value, and consumer behavior; beyond mapping these thematic areas, the research identifies leading authors, institutions, countries, journals, keywords, and emerging trends, offering researchers a comprehensive overview of the intellectual structure and development of the field, while its originality lies in providing a systematic bibliometric evaluation that highlights both current hotspots and underexplored gaps, thereby serving as a valuable reference for future scholarly inquiry.
