About Oussama
Oussama Zehouani is the founder of TAQYID, the B2B SaaS platform built natively around JAKIM's Malaysian Halal Management System (MHMS 2020) and the MPPHM 2020 Pindaan 2026 procedures. He leads product, regulatory research, and the editorial analyses published on the TAQYID blog.
His focus is translating dense JAKIM compliance standards into software that QA Managers, Halal Executives, and Internal Auditors actually want to open on Monday morning. Every TAQYID module — from certificate lifecycle tracking to JKHD governance, sertu procedures, and MYeHALAL portal readiness — is designed against the letter of the standard, not against a generic compliance framework.
Oussama writes regularly on halal compliance software, JAKIM audit preparation, HAS vs IHCS selection, Halal Control Points, and the 2026 regulatory changes that manufacturers must absorb.
