“…If in IWI 1.0 the weight of each component used is the same, IWI 2.0 gives a different weight. IWI 2.0 gives a din weight of 33% and the remaining 67% for non-din components (nafs, 'aql, nash, mal) (Batchelor, 2021). Equal weighting of non-din components can certainly be said to be different from the opinion of most previous scholars who stated that there are different priorities for each component of Maqasid al-Shariah (Ismail, 2021).…”

“…A number of researchers have formulated various welfare measures based on this welfare components, such as the Islamic Human Development Index (I-HDI) (Anto, 2011); Economic Islamicity Index (EI 2 ) (Rehman & Askari, 2010); Composite index in OIC countries ; Integrated Development Index (I-Dex) (Amin et al, 2015); Islamic Inclusive Growth Index (i-IGI) (Ghazal & Zulkhibri, 2016); Maqasid al-Shariah based Socio-Economic Development Index (SCECDI)(Ullah & Kiani, 2017); Maqasid al-Shariah based Sustainable Development Goals Index (MSSDI)(F. Khan, 2020); Islamic Well-Being Index (IWI 2.0) (Batchelor, 2021). All these scholars designed the Maqasid al-Shariah index as a more comprehensive model for measuring welfare and economic development.…”

Maqasid al-Shariah based welfare measurement is a welfare measurement tool that covers all dimensions of welfare, both material and non-material. According to the Maqasid al-Shariah theory put forward by Al-Ghazali and Al-Shatibi; which was later expanded further into the socio-economic context (Chapra, 2008). Chapra is talking about how we need to expand the application of al-Maqasid to make it more practical and effective. This is because al-Maqasid is a philosophical principle that needs to be simplified so that it can be put into practice. Many contemporary researchers have implemented maqasid al-shariah in measuring development or welfare instruments with various modifications related to the sub-variables. However, most of them give equal weight to each maqasid component. Even though most Muslim scholars give different priorities to each maqasid component. Therefore, this study will criticize 15 articles on the maqasid-based welfare index as a first step to propose improvements to the maqasid-based welfare index measurement. To achieve the research objectives, the method used in this research is an integrative literature review. This study proposes an index and indicator model in integrating the five dimensions of Maqasid al-Syariah in measuring welfare.

This is a revised version of an assessment of the Islamic Well-Being Index (IWI) of Muslim majority countries, first published by this author in 2013 (IWI 1.0). It uses an improved, updated methodology and reflects the essential maqasid al-shari‘ah (Higher Objectives of Islamic Law) developed by Imam Abu Hamid al-Ghazali. The IWI provides practical insights for countries that aspire to move to a higher state. Leading countries in the maqasid fields could serve as role models for lagging counties. More specifically, IWI indicators provide a way to spot problems, set targets, track trends, and identify best practice policies. This 2021 assessment adds four more countries to the 27 ranked previously. The method incorporates insights from leading Islamic scholars who have developed a ‘maqasid index of governance’ for Muslim countries. The top three countries listed in the Index are (first to third): Indonesia, Tunisia and Malaysia. Indonesia, the world’s largest Muslim country with a successful democracy, experienced an Islamic resurgence, which is reflected in its citizens’ moderate values and practices. Leading countries within the maqasid fields are (first, second): Religion – Guinea-Bissau, Nigeria; Life – UAE, Brunei; Intellect - Albania, Kyrgyzstan; Family – Morocco, Tunisia; and Wealth – Malaysia, UAE. Countries showing greatest improvement in IWI rankings are Lebanon and Turkey. Those that significantly worsened are Afghanistan, Nigeria, Chad and Iraq. To expand the applicability of this index, governments in Muslim majority countries need to facilitate assessment. In particular, religiosity surveys should be expanded and periodic surveys are required to fill other data gaps. The IWI Index and its highlights should be prepared and published annually.

This paper discusses Islam as a way of life behind the religion. This way of life was broadly followed by people all around the world many millennia before the reformation initiated by 'the recitation'. There is a considerable body of research, debate and thinking on Happiness, and much of this is reflected in the Islamic world. This is as it should be, because of the centrality of concepts of Happiness/wellbeing in all social, economic, political and religious spheres. The researcher intended to draw together some of the strands of work concerning wellbeing from an Islamic perspective and which will explore the influence of the Islamic faith on individual, family, community and societal wellbeing. There will be a theoretical and conceptual discussion to give an appreciation of the scope of the field of study.
