Abstract

This study aims to examine the development policies of the Jambi Provincial Government under the leadership of Haris-Sani from the view of Islamic public policy. Public policy as a tool of Islamic governance aims to promote social justice (`adalah) and public welfare (maslahah `ammah) based on the objectives of maqasid al-shariah . The study seeks to assess how far the administration’s flagship program, the Dumisake Program, has contributed to welfare-oriented development and reflected Islamic public policy principles. A quantitative survey approach was employed involving 880 respondents selected through multistage random sampling from 11 regencies and municipalities in Jambi Province. The sample was determined using the Isaac and Michael formula with a 4% margin of error. Data were analyzed using SPSS and complemented by library research based on policy documents and welfare statistics from 2021–2024. The results demonstrate that the Dumisake Program is an effective attempt to put maqasid al-shariah into practice through programs in social assistance, education, healthcare, MSME empowerment, food security, religious support, and plantation growth. According to survey results, 70.60% of participants thought the initiative improved community wellbeing. However, Jambi's very low Human Development Index and ongoing poverty indicate that social fairness and sustainable wellbeing have not yet been fully realized. The study comes to the conclusion that in order to completely accomplish the goals of Islamic public policy and sustainable societal welfare, more inclusive development strategies, institutional accountability, and stronger policy effectiveness are required.
