Assalamualaykum my friends and readers to my new blog. In this blog, I will share about “Framework for Sustainable Development: Islamic Worldviews”. We have talked about this in our class discussion therefore, I will elaborate my discussion from my prior knowledge regarding this.
According to Islam, there are five things that a Muslim should protect in life for sustainable development.
◾ Lineage
◾ Wealth
◾ Religion
◾ Life
◾ Intellect
Firstly, protection of lineage means the protection of the planet. In Islam is has been ordered to take care of our nature and environment. Since we take lots of benefits from the environment, it is our responsibility to nurture our surroundings as well and keep them healthy and heal them as much as possible. There are many hadith and sunnah mentioned in Islam for sustainable development.
“ There are none amongst the Muslims who plants a tree or sows seeds, and then a bird or a person or an animal eats from it, but is regarded as a charitable gift for him. (Bukhari)
Secondly, in our society wealth has not distributed equally among us. Some people are poor and some are wealthy. According to Islam, it is our responsibility to take care of poor people. Since Allah has mentioned clearly that the reziq and right of poor people are in rich people’s wealth. Therefore, every wealthy and rich Muslim needs to give sadaqah.
Then comes religion. Following the Islamic rules is mandatory for establishing a sustainable society. Islam is the only religion where we can learn to live life peacefully. And also a virtuous life is maintained to make a Sustainable Development.
Lastly, the protection of intellect refers to the people themselves. Intellect is the source of people’s honor and virtue. To take care of own self. To make a person virtuous by having a clear sense of right and wrong.
To end, these are the main facts that should be concerned for a sustainable development society from Islamic Worldviews.
