THESIS ABSTRACT
The conventional development (PL) and the Islamic-based development
(PBI) are two different entities. PL is developed from the conventional
worldview while PBI is developed from the Islamic worldview. As such, is it
suitable to adapt and adopt PL for the development of Muslim countries? Could
it solves the problems related to Islam? Based on this issue this study
attempts to study the PBI worldview. It is carried out based on the thematic
exegesis of the Qur‘an to achieve three research objectives. First is to
identify the verses on development worldview in the Qur‘an. Second is to
analyse the identified development worldview verses from the Qur‘an based on
the thematic exegesis. Third is to develop the development worldview based on
the identified verses of the Qur‘an. In attaining all the objectives, an
exploratory qualitative and descriptive research using historical and content
analysis methods are employed. The historical analysis method is used to
analyse the incidents that provided the reasons for the revelation of the
verses. The content analysis method on the other hand is used to identify,
collate and analyse the meaning of the development worldview verses in the
Qur‘an. These two methods employed are then adapted to the thematic exegesis
method. The results from these showed that this research managed to uncover the
development worldview verses in the Qur‘an. All these verses explain one of the
three fundamental elements of worldview that is
Allah SWT as the Creator, humans as the creation as well as the natural
resources also as the creations. After these verses were
analysed, six conceptual elements of development worldview in the Qur‘an is
formulated that is al-tawhid (Oneness of Allah), al-‘ubudiyyah (servitude of self/worship to Allah), khalifah
fi al-ard (vicegerent on earth), mawarid
al-tabi‘i (natural resources), al-azminah - ‘alam
al-ruh, ‘alam al-dunya
wa ‘alam al-akhirah (time frame – world of al-ruh, present world, and
the world hereafter), and mardat Allah (pleasures of Allah). The core element to
these six conceptual elements of development worldview is al-tawhid. Based on these six conceptual elements of
development worldview in the Qur‘an, the PBI worldview is built. It possesses
its own strengths as it is based on revelation; its core is al-tawhid; its basic elements which include aspects of
Allah SWT as the Creator, humans and the natural resources as the creations;
its time frame encompasses the realm of world of al-ruh,
present world, and the world hereafter; and its objective is to attain the
pleasures of Allah SWT.
