As per Quranic Verses, human beings are the representatives of Almighty Allah on the surface of Earth and all resources are created for them and for their rightful use irrespective of creed, color, caste and social status. It is their lawful and religious duty to use these resources for the sustainable development of human beings and humanity.[2]. Development is described in Holy Quran as “Architecture and Construction”, Almighty Allah says:. “It is He Who hath produced you from the earth and settled you therein” (Surah Hud, verse 61) in this Quranic verse it is indicated that building of land is the necessity of human beings for development.
