REFLECTIVE JOURNAL ON SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Assalamualaikum and hey!! Welcome back to my blog. So, today I have learnt on a new topic which is Maqasid Al-Shariah & Sustainable Development. So first of all, what is Maqasid Al-Shariah? Maqasid Al-Shariah involves realizing the human well-being by enhancing welfare, or benefit (maslahah) of the people on one hand and preventing harm (mafsadah) on the other. Maqasid Al-Shariah also promotes and protects the well-being of people and nature. There are 5 fundamental objectives of Maqasid Shariah (Objectives of Islamic Law) which are; Hifz Al-Din (Religion) Hifz Al-Nafs (Life) Hifz Al-'Aql (Intellect) Hifz Al-Nasb (Lineage) Hifz Al-Mal (Wealth) To gain a better understanding of the Maqasid Al-Shariah, you can watch this video.

This is because we, as Muslims, already know about it through our 2 ultimate sources which are Al-Quran and Hadith. They both have provided and guided us with the framework for the spiritual and physical welfare of humanity. We always hear that there are only 2 relationships that we have to take care of when being a Muslim. They are the relationship with Allah and the relationship with the fellow human being. We always said them in A...

On this afternoon, right at 2p.m., I joined my first online meeting for my 6 th course for this first semester. I was really impatient before joining it as it was my first time hearing such a course name. The course was namely Sustainable Development: Issues, Principles, and Practices. To be honest, it was such an interesting course name that made me really want to join it really bad. So, what is this course all about? The purpose of this course is to increase the knowledge of students on the concept of sustainability, the importance of sustainable development and Islamic perspective on sustainable development. Throughout my first class of this course, there were many new things that I have learned. For the first one, my lecturer had taught us that there are 2 ways of thinking which are traditional thinking and systems thinking. The difference between both of them is that traditional thinking is linear whereby system thinking is complex. In short, system thinking has various fac...
