A New approach for sustainable development goals in Islamic perspective

Abstract

This paper discusses a new approach to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) from Islamic perspective. It seeks to answer the main question of how to implement SDGs in Muslim countries. Seven of SDGs comprise of the end goals of development narrowed down to people's well being, and the rest of the goals are the means to reach the ends. Based on the secondary data obtained from library research, Islam provides guidance for SDGs in terms of the relationships between human and Allah SWT, human and human, and human and the environment. Islam does not solely promote the three relationships as the embodiment of spiritual power, but it also provides the mechanisms of the interrelationship. The new approach proposes a more comprehensive conceptual framework that encompasses the efforts of developing human beings and establishing a system as the medium for the implementation of the economic, social, educational, and governmental mechanisms.
