WEEK 2: Islam in Sustainable Development

 


Salam all. Continuing the lesson, Prof has taught us another perspective, the Islamic perspective. Throughout the learning experience, I think the most profound one is visualise in the image I have attached above.

To explain, sustainable development has been engraved and close with the teaching of Islam. We were taught to practice zakat and encouraged to do waqaf. These activities help the development of our economic sides in the sustainable practices. Other than that, we as human are also khalifah, the vicegerent of Allah the Almighty. We were taught to socialise with others and care about other human beings. It is our role as human to make sure everyone is taken care of. Lastly, in islamic teachings, we were also taught about many concepts and Prof has successfully helped me in understanding how it can be related to the sustainable development. Alhamdulillah.

Week 4: International Framework of Sustainable Development

Salam all, for this week, Prof. Dr. Suhaimi began by outlining the history of global conferences that shaped sustainable development strategies, starting with the 1972 UN Conference on Human Environment and leading up to the 2016 launch of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Key milestones included the 1992 Rio de Janeiro Conference, which produced the Rio Declaration and Agenda 21, followed by the 1997 Kyoto Protocol focusing on greenhouse gas emissions, and the 2002 Johannesburg Summit, which highlighted issues like ocean preservation and sustainable resource use. The Bali Conference later gathered 180 countries to address climate change challenges. The lecture concluded with an explanation of Sejahtera, a concept of holistic well-being, balance, and sustainability in life, and how Malaysia localizes sustainable development through initiatives like Shared Prosperity Vision 2030 and the Five Wisdoms of Falsafah Pendidikan Kebangsaan. Moving on, I also learnt new knowledge, which...

Week 3: Maqasid Shariah in Sustainable Development

  Salam all, this week, I understand more on the role of Islam in Sustainable Development. Focusing on Maqasid Shariah, Islam has always prioritise the preservation of five elements in our daily life; faith, life, intellect, lineage and lastly, wealth. Of course, standing on its own, Maqasid Shariah has prove its importance in our muslim community. However, after this class, I understand that there is more to it. By relating Sustainable Development with Maqasid Shariah, I can see that it is very much a reflection of each other, as SD has 5Ps, with the purpose of development for the future. To summarise: 1. Faith = Partnership 2. Life = Peace 3. Intellect = People 4. Linage = Planet 5. Wealth = Prosperity Alhamdulillah, may this knowledge helps everyone.

Week 6: University in Sustainable Development

  Salam all, for this week lesson, Prof specifically focus on the role of university in SD. I learnt new knowledge about the important role of universities in sustainable development. I found it interesting how the concept of education in Islam, as shared by SMN Al-Attas, really focuses on balance, not just in academics, but also in spiritual, moral, and social aspects. It made me realise that true education is not only about gaining knowledge, but also about building character and being responsible towards the environment and society. I also liked how the idea of khalifah was mentioned—reminding us that we are caretakers of the Earth. Other than that, I was also inspired by the idea that universities should go beyond the classroom and engage with the community, involve in research that meets real societal needs, and build partnerships with different stakeholders. This holistic approach, as highlighted in the concept of Sejahtera, really opened my eyes to how education can be meani...
