| Summary: | The oil and gas industry is the main contributor to the national income and
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Negara Brunei Darussalam. Brunei’s dependence
on the oil and gas industry exposes the country to long-term economic risks such as
the drastic reduction of global oil prices, which could threaten its sustainable
development. Therefore, how can Brunei reduce its dependency on oil and gas
resources? Seeing that Brunei has incorporated Islam into its national philosophy and
its aspiration and vision of national development, how can this philosophy, aspiration,
and vision be executed as part of Brunei’s development strategy to ensure the
sustainability of the country’s natural resources? Furthermore, how then can Islam
form the basis for Brunei’s development plan? To answer these questions, three
research objectives were derived. The first objective is to identify the concept of
natural resources that is in line with Brunei’s sustainable development. The second
objective is to analyse the vital natural resources available for sustainable development
in Brunei based on the context of the Malay Islamic Monarchy (MIB), Zikir Nation,
and Brunei Vision 2035, while the third objective is to propose Islamic-based
sustainable development strategies for Brunei. A qualitative-based case study
framework was applied to collect three types of data: authentic sources, al-Qur’an and
hadith; primary sources, semi-structured interviews; and secondary sources, published
documents. The data was analysed using thematic content analysis. |
