Week 6: Roles of Universities & Sustainable Development

 From what I gained in the week 6 class is about the role of university and sustainable development. 


I'm grateful that I am part of the IIUM community and as a student, I agree that IIUM is the Garden of Knowledge and Virtue.

Sejahtera Centre for Sustainability and Humanity is one organization that was established to champion the sustainability, humanity, and Sejahtera agenda for IIUM. Some of the programs organized by this organization are World Humintarian Day where they give out food at Flat Makmur Sri Selayang, Desa Sejahtera Pinggiran UIAM, and at Kg. Sg. Kertas. Other than that, IIUM also is preparing their students with education which is needed in the industry and also fulfilling society's needs.

However, in Islam, Maqasid Shariah has the role of guiding sustainable development to build an ummah of Rahmatan Lil Alamin.  There are 5 key principles of Maqasid Shariah and we can see how it is connected with Sustainable Development to achieve specific goals.    The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is to offer a universal framework for sustaining peace and prosperity for both people and the environment together involvin...
