N2 - The human development approach inspires a widening of the informational base on poverty by investigating the deprivation of functioning’s and capabilities that create freedom in a framework that was generated with developing perspectives at its centre. The existing measurement of human development index (HDI) published by UNDP might be the most comprehensive indicator to measure human development, yet it is not fully compatible and enough to measure human development from Islamic perspective. In Islamic perspective, human development based on Maqasid Shariah framework consists of five pillars, preservation of ad-Din (faith), preservation of an-Nafs (Life), preservation of al-Aql (Intellect), preservation of al-Nasl (progeny) and al-Mal (Wealth). Therefore, the objective of this current study is an attempt to propose an Islamic Human Development Index (i-HDI) as a holistic and comprehensive index for human development derived from the five dimensions of Maqasid Shariah and then compare this index to measure human development in OIC countries with HDI. This study employ the HDI method to compute the i-HDI. The result shows, i-HDI is parallel with the HDI method and this new index and the ranking of countries based on i-HDI will give more accurate and more meaningful analytical insights relating to poverty alleviation.
