The Ultimate Objective of Islamic Based Development: an Analysis of the Views of Experts

Abstract

This article aims to examine and study the ultimate objective of Islamic based development (IBD) based on the views of experts. There were various discussions on the ultimate objective of IBD among the experts on IBD. Some stated that the ultimate objective is al-falah (victory in this world and the hereafter), and some stated that it is mardat Allah (the pleasure of Allah). The question is, what is the true ultimate objective of IBD? In order to answer this question, this article focused the discussion to two main subjects. Firstly, to identify the views of IBD experts on the ultimate objective of IBD. Secondly, to analyse and summarize the ultimate objective of IBD based on the views of experts. This qualitative study utilized secondary data from studies and articles regarding the ultimate objective of IBD. All of these data were analysed using the method of content analysis. In conclusion, it was found that the ultimate objective of IBD is to attain mardat Allah (the pleasure of Allah SWT), not al-falah.
