3rd Week: Maqasid Shariah and Sustainable Development and Visiting IIUM Gallery

 For this week,  we learned and discussed the topic through a video link given by our lecturer, Prof Dr. Suhaimi bin Mhd Sarif and we were assigned to visit the IIUM and write three exciting observations about Maqasid Shariah and Sustainable Development. After the class and our observation activity. I understand that a balance between social well-being, environmental preservation, and economic progress is the goal of sustainable development. Through the idea of Maqasid Al-Shariah, which emphasizes promoting well-being (maslahah) and preventing harm (mafsadah), Islam offers a potent foundation for sustainability. Maqasid Al-Shariah strengthens the concept of sustainable development by aligning it with fundamental human rights and values. It safeguards five essential objectives—faith, life, intellect, lineage, and wealth—which correspond to the United Nations 5Ps of sustainable development: People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace, and Partnership. This alignment highlights that Islam has always promoted the well-being of both humanity and nature
