Abstract
This study explores the integration of Green Maqasid al-Shari'ah and Islamic ethical principles as a framework for sustainable economic development in the Muslim world. Drawing on classical Islamic jurisprudence and contemporary sustainability discourse, the research highlights how the preservation of essential objectives—religion, life, intellect, progeny, and wealth—can be expanded to include environmental protection and intergenerational equity. Through a qualitative approach supported by literature review and conceptual analysis, the study reveals that Islamic economic ethics—rooted in values such as justice (‘adl), moderation (wasatiyyah), trust (amanah), and stewardship (khilafah)—offer a holistic and value-driven foundation for promoting sustainability. Moreover, Green Maqasid provides an ethical lens to evaluate policies, institutions, and development programs, ensuring they align with both spiritual values and ecological imperatives. The paper concludes that embedding these ethical foundations in economic planning can contribute significantly to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Islamic contexts, particularly in fostering responsible consumption, inclusive growth, and environmental justice.
