The Relevance of Sustainable Development goals (SDGS) with Maqashid Sharia

Abstract

This study is to explain the relevance of development goals in the SDGs with maqashid sharia. This research is descriptive in nature with a systematic literature review method and uses analysis meta-aggregation and matrix matching methods.

This study concludes that based on the concept of maqashid sharia described by Imam ash Syatibi and Imam Ibn Asyur, 17 (seventeen) goals in the SDGS and indicators are in accordance with maqashid sharia. However, if examined with the concept of maqashid sharia explained by Imam al Ghazali then there are several objectives in the SDGs and the indicators are not in accordance with maqashid sharia.

The aspect of property preservation (economics) is the most dominating aspect of all the SDGs. However, the spiritual (religious) aspect is not included in all of the SDGs' goals and indicators. This is in contrast to the Islamic development philosophy, which considers religion to be an integral aspect of development aims.
