<![CDATA[Economic development plays a vital role in improving people's quality of life and promoting national progress. However, contemporary economic systems continue to face various challenges, including income inequality, poverty, and inequitable distribution of economic resources. This study aims to examine the role of Islamic economics as a foundation for supporting national development oriented toward collective welfare. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach through a literature review of relevant books, scientific journals, and other academic sources. The findings indicate that Islamic economics is based on fundamental principles such as tauhid (the oneness of God), justice, maslahah (public benefit), ta'awun (mutual cooperation), and balance between material and spiritual aspects. These principles serve as guidelines for establishing a more equitable, humane, and sustainable economic system. The implementation of Islamic economics in national development can be achieved through strengthening Islamic financial institutions, optimizing the management of zakat, infaq, sadaqah, and waqf (ZISWAF), empowering micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), and developing the halal industry as a driver of economic growth. Therefore, Islamic economics has the potential to become an alternative development approach that promotes equitable welfare, reduces social disparities, and supports sustainable development.]]>
