Human development between the positive approach and the Islamic approach A comparative study between the perspective of Amartya Sen and Ibn Khaldun

Abstract

This article aims to make a comparison in the concept of human development between the approach of the United Nations Development Program, represented by the ideas of Umriya Sen, and the Islamic approach represented by the ideas of Ibn Khaldun; by identifying points of convergence and difference between the two approaches, with a focus on what the Islamic approach can add to human development In order to contribute to the development and improvement of this concept.

The study reached a set of results, the most important of which are that both the positive and Islamic approaches to human development do not contradict or deny one another; and they agree that the human being is the goal of human development and its means at the same time, but the Islamic approach to human development is based on material and spiritual principles This is something that is not found in the positive approach to human development.
