The Islamic Vision of Development in the Light of Maqasid al-Shariah
|
|
The ultimate goal of all Islamic teachings is
to be a blessing for mankind. This is the primary purpose for which the
Prophet (SAAS) was sent to this world (Qur'an, 21:107). One of the
indispensable ways to realize this goal is to promote the falah or real
well-being of all the people living on earth, irrespective of their
race, color, age, sex or nationality. The word falah and its derivatives
have been used 40 times in the Qur'an. Another word, fawz, which is a
synonym of falah, has also been used 29 times along with its
derivatives. This is also the goal towards which the muezzin calls the
faithful five times a day, showing thereby the importance of falah in
the Islamic worldview.
It may
be argued here that this is the goal of all societies and not just of
Islam. This is certainly true. There seems to be hardly any difference
of opinion among all societies around the world that the primary purpose
of development is to promote human well-being. There is, however,
considerable difference of opinion in the vision of what constitutes
real well-being and the strategy to be employed for realizing and
sustaining it. The difference may not have been there if the pristine
vision of all religions had continued to dominate the worldviews of
their respective societies. However, this vision has been distorted over
the ages. Moreover, the Enlightenment Movement of the 17th and 18th
centuries has influenced almost all societies around the world in
different degrees by its secular and materialist worldview. Consequently
the primary measure of development has become a rise in income and
wealth. This raises the question of whether real human well-being can be
realized and sustained by merely a rise in income and wealth and the
satisfaction of just the material needs of the human personality.
Religious scholars as well as moral philosophers and a number of modern
academics have questioned the identification of wellbeing with a rise in
income and wealth. They have also emphasized the spiritual and
non-material contents of well-being.
