 SCSH 1201 (Sustainable Development : Issues, Principles, & Practices)

19/10/2022 (week 2)

Wednesday, 10a.m - 12a.m

Venue : Senat Hall, level 5, Rector Building 



Today's learning, we need to go to the senate hall in the rector's building to participate in the "PROGRAM TOWARDS FINANCIAL WELFARE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE" for one hour. This program was organized by EPF Kepong Branch and IIUM Institute of Islamic Banking and Finance (IIiBF). This program aims to share knowledge and create awareness related to Financial Management. 

The objectives of this seminar are to create and enhance awareness of the importance of savings for the purpose of post-retirement life, the Takaful protection plan to face the possibilities of having unfortunate events and the social protection schemes for employees provided by SOCSO.


There are special prizes available and interesting quizzes. Participation is free and open to everyone. We also got an E-certificate and a door gift from the EPF.


Another one hour, we have to listen to a recorded lecture which is about Islam & Sustainable Development.

In this lesson, Sustainable development is not a new concept to Muslims. The Qur'an and the Hadith provide the framework for the spiritual and physical welfare of humanity. There are over 500 verses in the Qur'an giving Muslims guidance on matters relating to the environment and how to deal with it, and there are numerous examples from the prophet Mohammed's life (PBUH) and his sayings, which provide a model for justice and equity.


In Islam, we have 3 fundamental of Islam development which is :

1. Relationship between Allah

2. Relationship between human

3. Relationship between environment


The rights to benefit from nature are linked to accountability and maintenance or conservation of the resource. The fundamental legal principle established by the Prophet Muhammad is that “The benefit of a thing is in return for the liability attached to it.”


Sustainable Development in Islam based on :

  • ECONOMIC
  • ENVIRONMENTAL
  • SOCIAL


In conclusion, a sustainable environment in Islam has been mentioned in the Quran and hadith about waste generation, water conservation and water pollution. In addition, it is related to social sustainability in Islam, which is belief in the pillars of Islam and the pillars of Faith and as the caliph of God on this earth. Lastly, a sustainable economy in Islam which is by giving to people who are more in need such as giving alms and giving zakat.

SCSH 1201 (Sustainable Development : Issues, Principles, & Practices) 26/10/2022 (week 3) Wednesday, 10a.m - 12a.m Venue : Class online on Zoom TODAY'S LESSON, I UNDERSTOOD THE DEFINITION OF MAQASID AL-SHARIAH, WHICH IS 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. In Islam, sustainability of five things : Life, faith, mind, property, and lineage is considered to be an objective of the law (Maqasid al-Shariah) and Muslims are duty-bound by their religion to ensure the sustenance of these five objectives. This means that the Islamic development is endogenously sustainable since preservation of life is an explicit objective of the Islamic law, which makes only those development efforts Islamically permissible that do not compromise the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. And maqasid shariah is related to our daily lives as servants of God on this earth. ...

Besides, there also a role of Institutions which are understood as institutional mechanisms are defined as formal systems of rules and indicate what they should facilitate. Institutions in this sense are constitutional rules, organizational rules and standing orders of different governmental bodies, associations, unions, written agreements.

It satisfies...
