The role of islamic economy in reduction of social injustice and sustainable development goals

Abstract

“Sustainable Development” is a development model that can meet the needs of today's generations without sacrificing its ability to meet the needs of future generations, has taken its place in the world’s agenda towards the end of 20th century and with the International agreements signed in the 1990s became a worldwide implementation plan. Today, the most serious problems faced by people are the income injustice and increase of poverty. During the rapid change process that began in the 1980s, the problem of income distribution was no longer perceived as an ordinary economic problem, but as a political and social problem. Economic and social policies implemented since the 1950s have not been able to solve the problems and have made many problems more apparent. In short, in today's world, an unbalanced structure has emerged, where financial prosperity is increasing and social welfare is gradually diminishing. Using a socioeconomic approach and environmental relations together, development strategies can be efficient in responding to today's needs, but can lead to serious harm in destroying the needs of future generations. Moreover, since there is no clear approach to the limits of economic growth, the dynamics of this growth are uncertain. Therefore, all humanity needs sustainable development strategies. This study addresses three main problems (i) what are the answers to a more livable life expectancy that will meet the needs of everyone and every sector based on the understanding that the Islamic economy has a future-oriented understanding, (ii) what are the strategies for eliminating injustices in income distribution in terms of Islamic economy? (iii) what are the perspectives of Islamic economy that will be put forward in order to develop the concept of Sustainable Development? In this study, considering the fact that the Islamic economy has an understanding of the future, it will address the inequalities in income distribution and the strategies that will be put forward for the formation of sustainable development understanding, which will meet the needs of everyone and all segments and will provide answers to a more livable life expectancy. In order to approach the injustices in income distribution and sustainable development strategies from the perspective of Islamic economy, it is necessary to put forward political stability on this issue, to revise the ideas put forward to date, to present complementary proposals by identifying missing aspects of current developments and to identify the current threats and opportunities. This study will reveal the social vision of the Islamic economy by addressing all aspects of income injustice and sustainable survival strategies.
