Maslahah-based Religious Model as a Foundation for Building a Global Civilization Grounded in Humanity, Ecology, and Peace

This​‍​‌‍​‍‌ research proposes a brand new Maslahah-Based Religious Model to tackle global issues of civilizations like unfairness in social democracy, imbalance between humans and the environment, and religiosity based on identity. Through qualitative, conceptual, and normative modes, it reviews the primary Islamic sources, classical texts on maqāṣid, and current religious ethics problems. Traditionally, this Islamic term has been used almost exclusively to refer to legal considerations. The main thrust of this paper is to reinvent it as an all-encompassing ethical framework for rituals and understanding of religion in the contemporary world. The findings indicate that maṣlaḥah-centered perspective integrates the three main religious ethical components (humanity, Ecology and peace). Hence, religiosity in this case is not a question of identity assertion but rather of moral responsibility. The major moral yardsticks become the inherent worth of humans, justice, and social welfare, while the safeguarding of ecology is regarded as a religious duty connected with not causing harm or endangering life. Peace is viewed as a by-product that naturally stems from ethical religiosity, as reflected in justice/existence and goodness. This study argues for contemporary Islamic thought by presenting a new, integrative, and coherent paradigm of normative religious frameworks in conjunction with global ethical issues. Promotion of the Maslahah-Based Religious Model is a rejection of the very basic character of religion as a totalized moral arbiter, unchangeable under all circumstances - in fact, it is its very promise that it is transformative and that it must change, evolve, and be sustained as a positive force for justice, sustainability, and peaceful coexistence. This study paves the way for both the academic world and actual religious practice towards a culture of ​‍​‌‍​‍‌sustainability.
