WEEK 1: INTRODUCTION TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT





Assalamualaikum wbt, this is my first class for the semester and I'm so excited to start my day learning something new as I'm not really familiar with the concept of sustainable development is and now I have an ideal opportunity to explore a new and fresh area of education.


Starting our class with ummul kitab, my lecturer, Dr Suhaimi briefly introduces this course which requires us as the students to understand and demonstrate sustainable development principles and practices. Besides, he also highlights that the aim of this course is to identify issues, problems, and solutions related to sustainable development. Subsequently, Dr Suhaimi conducted a short sharing session about students understanding or their thoughts on sustainable development which was so fun! 

To my surprise, there are a fair amount of diverse opinions regarding this topic. 😆Some of the interesting responses upon hearing the word sustainable development are preserving the environment, protecting biodiversity, conserving energy, and ensuring future generations' needs are met. Right after discussing some enthralling facts about it, our lecturer also emphasizes technology that amazingly can be used to create energy-saving solutions for sustainable development. Not to forget that we also discuss the importance of sustainable development and the need for everyone to work together to achieve it as can be reflected from Al-Quran that encourages us to stay united in order to success as 

Allah  said: “And hold fast to the rope of God all together, and do not become divided” [Al Imran:103]. 

The Almighty said: “And cooperate in righteousness and piety"[Al-Ma'idah:2].😃

That's about it,i guess.  I hope you learn one thing or two today!💓

Maqasid is based on the Quran and Sunnah and refers to the purpose or objective of Islamic law. Dr also explains that sustainable development, which involves balancing environmental, social, and economic dimensions, can be traced back to the historical development of Islamic jurisprudence. The Maqasid concept serves as the foundation for the Islamic rulings towards achieving sustainable development as part of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. Maqasid Shariah  principles include the preservation of religion, life, intellect, lineage, and property which will lead to chaos and injustice for society if it's not protected. It's today's date when I learned about the  ...
