Abstract

Building a sustainable nation from a Quranic perspective is a form of Islamic model that is clearly stated in the Quran. The model is based on the conception of Islamic principles that adopt an Islamic sharī‘ah (order) preservation approach and execute the nation’s development based on the guidelines embodied in the Quran and Sunnah. Most countries that drive success in various fields neglect the importance of balancing physical and spiritual development. This situation will only allow the world to strive for materialistic success without any holistic development. Therefore, this study elaborated on the characteristics of a Balda Ṭayyiba Wa Rabb Ghafūr state, which was the axis of the past Islamic world empires. A qualitative research method was used in this study by collecting library data to analyse texts that would suggest the concepts of building a sustainable nation from the Quranic perspective. Therefore, this working paper would explicate the features of Balda Ṭayyiba Wa Rabb Ghafūr as the basis of global Islamic nation building. This study revealed that the nation of Balda Ṭayyiba Wa Rabb Ghafūr requires an Islamic administration that covers various aspects, including politics, Rabbānī (divine) holistic education system, a fair economic system, and a sustainable environment. By understanding the Balda Ṭayyiba principle and its features, the greatness of a nation’s civilization could be reinstated. Thus, the basis of a nation’s well-being relies on its political stability, a holistic education system, a fair economic system, and a sustainable environment.
