3)     To explore new ideas and issues on Islamic Management of Human Development especially those that could contribute to the transformation of Islamic Management of Human Development that is able to lead to the maximization of benefits for the ummah.


Rationale
Islamic Management of Human Development is a fairly new area, deemed to still be at its exploratory stage. As such, we each bear the responsibility in doing our share towards providing the building blocks and strengthening the understanding about the area, resulting into a body of knowledge for the fulfillment of primordial contract (the amanah) between Allah SWT and man, in which a man as servant of Allah SWT, and His vicegerent on earth performs righteous deeds based on tawhidic ethical value.  In reality, the existing research on Islamic Management of Human Development has been conducted using conventional research frameworks which place maximizing income, profits or other similar outcomes as the final goal.  This should not be the case, and so the situation therefore calls for idea development, discussions, debates and empirical research to be put into action based on Islamic tasawur with goals that are more in line with the Islamic teachings and seek no ultimate results other than the redha (mardathillah) from Allah SWT.
This conference attempts to seek the answers to these problems, as well as to formulate innovative ways and strategies to turn them into actions, implementations and realizations, with forward-looking insights into the keys that could pave the ways to the intended transformation of Islamic Management of Human Development, from the current level to a more highly productive level.
This is a conference that hopes to be able to blend new, innovative and practical minds, unlike the common stereotype, reiterative and rhetorical ones. So are the papers and discussions expected for this conference.
