Abstract

The existing HDI concept is value neutral and unable to capture the religious and ethical perspective of socio-economic development in Muslim countries. It is argued that Muslim countries have some special features, cultures, and values that are not completely accommodated by the HDI measurement. Therefore, the current study is an attempt to propose an Islamic Human Development Index (I-HDI) as a holistic and comprehensive index for human development derived from the five dimensions of maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah: religion (dīn), life (nafs), intellect (ʿaql), family (nasl) and wealth (māl). The computation method of an I-HDI is parallel with the HDI method. The constructed index is utilized to rank the human development level for 33 provinces in Indonesia. The study finds that the composition rank between I-HDI and HDI is slightly different. However, the two indices have a statistical positive correlation confirming the assumption that I-HDI might serve as a predictor for the rank of HDI. The findings also show that the majority of the provinces in Indonesia have a poor performance in overall score of I-HDI. المفهوم الحالي لـ HDI (مؤشر التنمية البشرية) محايد ولا يشمل الجوانب الدينية والأخلاقية للتنمية الاجتماعية والاقتصادية في البلدان الإسلامية. على الرغم من أنه يعتقد أن البلدان الإسلامية لها خصائص خاصة مثل الثقافة والقيم التي لا يتم استيعابها بالكامل في مفهوم قياس مؤشر التنمية البشرية. لذلك تسعى هذه الدراسة إلى اقتراح مؤشر للتنمية البشرية الإسلامية (I-HDI) كمفهوم كلي وشامل للتنمية البشرية مستمد من الأبعاد الخمسة الرئيسية لمقاصد الشريعة، أي الدين والحياة والعقل والنسل (الأسرة)، والمال. في هذه الدراسة تقنية حساب مؤشر للتنمية البشرية الإسلامية (I-HDI) هي نفس طريقة مؤشر التنمية البشرية (HDI). يستخدم مفهوم مؤشر للتنمية البشرية الإسلامية (I-HDI) لترتيب مستوى التنمية البشرية في 33 مقاطعة في إندونيسيا. توصلت الدراسة إلى أن تكوين التصنيفات بين مؤشر للتنمية البشرية الإسلامية (I-HDI) و مؤشر التنمية البشرية (HDI) مختلف بعض الشيء. ومع ذلك، فإن المؤشرين مرتبطان إحصائيًا بشكل إيجابي مما يؤكد الافتراض بأن مؤشر التنمية البشرية الإسلامية (I-HDI) يمكن استخدامه للتنبؤ بتصنيف مؤشر التنمية البشرية (HDI).كما توصلت الدراسة إلى أن غالبية المقاطعات في إندونيسيا تعاني من ضعف الأداء في مؤشر التنمية البشرية الإسلامية (I-HDI).
