The Development Experience In The Islamic World From A Socio-Philosophical Perspective: A Comparative Study Between Malaysia And Algeria

Abstract

The aim of this research is to highlight the issue of development, which has become one of the most complex and debated philosophical and sociological issues, occupying human thought. The other side of this issue is the problem of underdevelopment, which remains one of the most complicated challenges to this day. This paper also aims to demonstrate the value of the Malaysian experience as a civilizational Islamic experience in development, which serves as a model to follow. It illustrates the greatness of societies that have managed to achieve progress within a context of cultural diversity, linguistic, and religious pluralism. In their pursuit of progress, construction, and urbanization, they managed to transform themselves into a human legacy, rising from the rubble to the highest levels of development. The main findings of the research show that economic development cannot be imagined without addressing underdevelopment in administrative, political, social, cultural, or technical aspects. Furthermore, development is a philosophy of comprehensive and conscious change, continuous and directed through national management aimed at creating political, social, cultural, and economic changes that enable continuous improvement in the quality of life within society.
