Abstract

The focus of this paper is to illuminate humanist system of education and the sustainable development approach to see if these two concepts blend together. The humanist system of education encourages and emphasises human dignity and worth, whereas, sustainable development focuses on meeting the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations. In light of Islam, both, the humanising of education and sustainability are of prime importance. Islam gives special value to human and have bestowed them (human) with the name of ―Ashraf ul Makhloqath‖ (The respectable amongst all the creatures). Similarly, Islam discourages ―Israf‖ (Waste due to excessive production and consumption) and encourages ―Wasatiyyah” (moderation), highlighting the importance of sustainability. It can, therefore, be confidently argued that in Islam humanising of education along with a conscious understanding of sustainable development is encouraged.
