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 9: Fieldwork in Sustainable Development

  Salam All. For this week, I discovered new knowledge about what it really means for a university to be sustainable, and I feel very thankful that IIUM has been practising what other universities are just discussing. From the fieldwork, I understood that sustainability is not only about going green—it addresses the way we live, relate, how we use resources, care for the people and the environment around us. Alhamdulillah, I’m proud to be a part of IIUM, a university that treats sustainability as an amanah, and not a trend. I was so inspired that here at this University -students are welcomed in being a part of the change while working towards a more sustainable campus environment. From food waste composting to solar panel projects, from recycling centers to green transportation options such as UniRide, we are increasingly a reminder of how much transformative power exists when we all join together towards a common objective. Yes, to little things like shorter showers and turning o...

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...
