The Theistical Bases of the Islamic Model of Development

Development is divided into two parts: secular and religious development; in the West the secular model is common and dominant. holding to be comprehensive [in its doctrine for this world and the hereafter], Islam wishes to form a religious government and rule the society; for this purpose it becomes necessary to present a model of development suitable for the religious society. This model of development has different bases (theistical, ontological, epistemological, anthropological and social bases). In this article the theistical bases of the Islamic model of development are discussed in two parts: attributes of essence of God, and the actual attributes of God [related to the world of creation and human being]; and their roles on the model of development is investigated.
