Integrative Concept of the Low-Carbon Cities with the Maqasid Syariah: A Comprehensive Review

The Low-Carbon Cities (LCC) strategy guides cities in their efforts to transition towards an environmentally friendly and sustainable future. Currently, there is insufficient research that directly combines the LCC and Maqasid Syariah. Maqasid Syariah encompasses the elevated aims and fundamental principles of Islamic law, encompassing the safeguarding of life, religion, intellect, progeny, and wealth. The objective of this study was to examine the integration of the LCC with the concept of Maqasid Syariah comprehensively. This study employs a systematic methodology that includes thorough literature searches and analyses. This study has identified several relevant topics that align with Maqasid Syariah, namely: (a) integration of LCC with Maqasid Syariah; (b) benefits of a holistic strategy; and (c) challenges and considerations in integrating the LCC with Maqasid Syariah. In conclusion, this study suggests a comprehensive approach that combines the LCC with the notion of Maqasid Syariah, offers significant advantages, and carries substantial significance. To fully explore the benefits and problems of combining the LCC and the idea of Maqasid Syariah, this study recommends conducting further research and fostering teamwork.
