ABSTRACT

Every religion or ideology seems to be providing something a foundation,
including the concept of development which refers to the perspective which
belongs to a person or people. It is not surprising to say that the concept of
development is so different nowadays as it is a reflection of the worldview that he
has. In this context, the development which is founded by the Islamic worldview is
no doubt is differ to the others. Even though, these terms ‘tanmiyyah, taqaddum,
taghayyur’, can mean to the meaning of ‘development’, but the true meaning of
the word ‘development’ which refers the perspective of the Islamic worldview is
not to refer to the aspect of material side but it is also to refer to spiritual side. If it
means both sides, then we have to define the concept of man. From this context,
we also have to find how and what kind of developments that have relationship
with the concept of happiness. Therefore, the concept of happiness in relation to
the meaning of development is very significant. Thus, this article will be written
to discuss and talk about the principles of Islamic worldview as the platform in
formulating the meaning of the concept of development.
