Islam and Development: Reality of the Muslim World

  • Most of the Islamic world is left behind in terms of development;
  • A good number of Muslim countries are among the poorest in the world;
  • Only a handful Muslim countries are among the emerging countries;
  • No Muslim country is included among the advanced country;
  • Some the so-called rich Muslim countries in the Middle East are too dependent on oil and gas—no diversification of economies like manufacture or agriculture;
  • These Muslim countries are on the edge of ‘oil curse’.

Islam and Development: Causes of Underdevelopment

  • Continuing internal conflicts in one single Muslim country and between a group of Muslim countries;
  • Continuing authoritarianism in many countries, giving no room for civil society to play its role in development;
  • Strong political, tribal, and religious sectarianism within one particular country and  between several countries;
  • Traces of European colonialism that now is continuing with the interference of major power in a single country and in the area as a whole;
  • The existence of longe duree political and economic structures that inhibit development.

Islam and Development: Misperception

  • Certain teachings of Islam regarded as ‘obstacles’ to development;
  • Strong emphasis of life in the hereafter rather than worldly life;
  • The predominant theology of predestination of  the Ash’ariyah-Jabariyah—many Muslims are opposed to a more rational theology like Mu’tazilah, teaching free-will and free-act;
  • Strong influence of tasawwuf (Sufism) with strong orientation to ascetism (zuhud);
  • Low work ethics to pursue better worldly life;
  • Much spending on religious obligations such as obligatory alms (zakah), hajj pilgrimage—inhibit accumulation of capital or wealth.

Islam and Sustainable Development

  • Islamic concept of [sustainable] development is basically theocentric, not anthropocentric as practiced by the Western world;
  • Human being was created as vicegerent (khalifah) on earth in order to develop it to achieve prosperity (QS 38:26, 2:30-32);
  • At the same time, human being is created to perform ‘ibadah, worship Allah through obligatory rituals (‘ibadah mahdah) and good deeds (amal salih) in all aspects of daily life (QS 51:56);
  • Prosperity achieved in [sustainable] development should be used as much as for greater benefit all human beings, not limited to Muslims only (QS al-Hud 11:61).
  • Development should create balance in economy, social and environment—overcoming inbalance and inequality (QS 67:1-3);
  • All natural resources are provided by Allah for benefit of all human being (QS 2:60);
  • All natural resources and revenues coming from them should be used to create equality and justice among people (QS 55:7-9);
  • Development should preserve environment and eco-system in order to sustain the decent life of human being (QS 28:77, 5:33, 13:25, 7:74, 85).
  • ALL SDG’S 17 GOALS AND 169 TARGETS ARE IN LINE WITH ISLAM
  • Development should achieve: 1.No poverty; 2.Zero hunger; 3.Good health and well-being; 4.Quality education; 5.Gender equality; 6.Clean water and sanitation; 7.Affordable and clean energy; 8.Decent work and economic growth; 9.Industry, innovation and infrastructure; 10.Reduced inequality; 11.Sustainable cities and communities; 12.Responsible consumption and production; 13.Climate action; 14.Life below water; 15.Life on land; 16.Peace and justice strong institutions; 17.Partneship to achieve goals.

Islam and Sustainable Development: Prohibition

  • Destruction of environment and eco-system;
  • Existence of imbalance and unequal societies;
  • Social and gender discrimination;
  • Economic injustices and unemployment;
  • Control of natural resources by limited number of political elite and the powerful;
  • Intolerance and disharmony among people because of religious, racial, social and cultural differences;
  • Absence of good/quality universal education.
