Abstract

This study explores the integration of Maqasid alShariah (Objectives of Islamic Law) with the principles of sustainable development, proposing a comprehensive theological-ethical framework to guide civilizations toward long-term ecological and societal well-being. By aligning the five cardinal objectives of Shariah with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this paper demonstrates how Islamic ethical principles can inform policies in governance, environment, social justice, and economics. The analysis includes a graphical representation of this alignment and a critical theological discussion on how divine guidance fosters a sustainable and morally anchored civilization.
