THESIS ABSTRACT: Development Worldview in the Qur an: A Study of Thematic Exegesis

The conventional development (PL) and the Islamic-based development (PBI) are two different entities. PL is developed from the conventional worldview while PBI is developed from the Islamic worldview. Given this, is it suitable to adapt and adopt PL for the development of Muslim countries? Could it solve the problems related to Islam? This is a study of the PBI worldview based on the thematic exegesis of the Qur an to achieve three research objectives. The first objective is to identify the verses on development worldview in the Qur an. The second objective is to analyse the identified Qur anic verses based on the thematic exegesis and the third objective is to develop the development worldview based on the verses.
