Abstract:Abraham Maslow developed a theory of the hierarchy of human needs which includes five levels, starting from physiological needs to self-actualization needs. This research examines the Islamization of Abraham Maslow's theory of needs with a focus on integrating Islamic values into the concept of human needs. However, this theory has been criticized because it is considered too materialistic and does not pay enough attention to the spiritual dimension of humans, in accordance with Islamic teachings. This research uses a conceptual approach to combine the concept of Maqashid Syariah in Islam with Maslow's hierarchy of needs. In this research, Maqashid Syariah is used as a framework for integrating Islamic values in the hierarchy of human needs. The result of this research is a reconstruction of the hierarchy of human needs which places human beings, namely humans who achieve perfection in various aspects in accordance with the guidance of the Islamic religion, as the highest need. Thus, the orientation of humans' final goals changes to become oriented towards the welfare of this world and the hereafter, with Allah as the center of all these efforts. Thus, this research contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of human needs in the Islamic context.
