Migration and Human Sustainability: An Overview from the Perspective of Islamic Civilization
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This article discusses the phenomenon of migration and its relation to human sustainability from the perspective of Islamic civilization.Migration is commonly understood as physical relocation; however, Islam emphasizes a broader dimension that encompasses faith, law, and ethics, intending to safeguard the Maqasid al-Shari'ah-namely, religion, life, intellect, lineage, and property.History demonstrates that migration, particularly the Prophet Muhammad's hijrah, profoundly impacted the development of Islamic civilization in the political, economic, educational, and social spheres.This study employs a qualitative approach through document analysis, examining primary sources such as the Qur'an, hadith, and classical works of Muslim scholars, as well as secondary sources including books, journal articles, international reports, and human rights declarations.Thematic analysis was carried out to identify definitions, legal rulings, and the implications of migration for the construction of civilization and human sustainability.The findings indicate that migration is not merely a means to fulfill worldly needs but also serves as an act of worship that contributes to the development of civilization and the well-being of humankind.
