Empowerment of Sustainable Community Health Through The Application of the Theory of Maqasid Al-Shariah

This study investigates the impact of Shariah empowering, community health, and shariah compliant hospitals on maqasid al-Shariah in Malaysia. The research aims to align Islamic financial institutions' aims with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and promote Maqasid Shariah-driven Islamic financing. Shariah-compliant community health systems are based on primary and secondary sources of Islamic law, legal maxims, norms, models, and basic necessity. Medical treatments have both positive and negative outcomes, and a balance between these should be maintained. The merging of Shariah and medicine can prevent and preserve illnesses such as hypertension, coronary artery disease, and diabetes. Understanding the basic principles of Shariah, halal and haram, mumalah, quality in Islam, and establishing Islamic core values within the organization are also essential. The Malaysian government faces challenges in managing government hospitals due to high patient volumes and dissatisfaction with the level of care provided. Private hospitals offer benefits such as reduced wait times, clean atmospheres, and more amenities. However, they are expensive and require more healthcare professionals. This research aims to examine the sequence of maqasid al-Shariah and its development based on requirements, and proposes the hypothesis that there is a positive impact of a Shariah-compliant hospital and maqasid al-shariah. This study used SPSS-23 and AMOS-SEM for statistical analysis. The demographic profile of the respondents was 131 male (50.97%) and 126 female (49.03%). The exploratory factor analysis was conducted using principal component analysis and the varimax rotation method. The measuring model was developed to evaluate the validity of all exogenous and endogenous variables in the fitness-tested model, with the dependent variable being maqsood al-shariah. The study conducted a reliability test using Cronbach's alpha and AMOS software to evaluate construct reliability and validity. The findings suggest that improving shariah-compliant hospital and community health initiatives can foster maqsood al-shariah while advancing Sustainable Development Goals.
