The Evaluation of Malaysian Ummah Development Index (Mudi)

Abstract

The Malaysian Ummah Development Index (MUDI) is a manifestation of the importance to measure Islamic-based development (IbD) using the Islamic-based development index (IbDI). This paper intends to evaluate to what extent MUDI fulfils the concept of IbD? The assessment of fulfilling the IbD concept also raises the core question of what is in fact the concept of IbD? How can this concept be realized in the construction of an IbDI? This paper aims to discuss these questions by two main focuses encompassed the discussions on IbDI and the evaluation of MUDI as an IbDI. Study was conducted on the secondary data from internal and external resources. Internal resources were obtained from individuals involved in the publication of MUDI while external resources were obtained through library research. Results of the analysis concluded that MUDI could be considered as an IbDI as it is constructed based on Islam. Nonetheless, this index can be improved by considering every component contained in the IbD concept.
