Abstract
This paper aims to suggest an integration of dimensions, especially economic, social, environmental, and politics that are embedded in Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within a framework called Umran. This Umranic framework hails from the idea of distinguished Muslim philosopher, historian and sociologist Ibn Khaldun, that is based on Islamic doctrines. As the present integration of the dimensions seems to be problematic, an exploration into the integration within Umranic framework is believed to be potentially a contributive endeavor. Based on an overview of literatures and a content analysis, this paper found that integrating dimensions of SDGs within the Umranic framework appears in the triangle of relationship between God, humans, and environment. This triangle exists in the form of an Islamic economic system. In this system, economic activities of natural resource utilization in various types of ownership undertake the sustainability dimension, that is the environmental protection and the promotion of equitable distribution, followed by the implementation of management of ownership and distribution rights according to Islamic rules. The pre-requisite on the part of the players is the high levels of spirituality. The application of this Islamic economic system followed by its political dimension will guarantee the achievement of SDGs even though it needs adjustment to a number of SDGs’ indicators that are not in accordance to Islamic teachings.
Highlights
The presence of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a new agenda for the direction of global development has been increasingly accepted by the stakeholders of development in the world
The ‘Comparative Study of Sustainable Development Planning in Indonesia, Malaysia and Negara Brunei Darussalam showed that three countries have their own specific institutional agencies dealing with the implementation of SDGs
The utilization and distribution of all resources is the core of economic activity, and when it must be in line with Allah's will the approaches and patterns of utilization and distribution will certainly be based on Islamic teachings
Summary
The presence of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a new agenda for the direction of global development has been increasingly accepted by the stakeholders of development in the world. SDGs was formally launched in January 2016 with 17 goals and 169 targets. Three years into the implementation of the Agenda, countries are translating this shared vision into national development plans and strategies. Each target and indicator represents each goal without viewing SDGs as a network. The 17 goals have a connection and dependence on each other; influence and determine each other either positively, negatively, or neutrally
