Livestock self-sufficiency is a crucial aspect of meeting food needs and ensuring human well-being. The Quran, as a guide for Muslims, provides guidance and basic principles regarding the independent and sustainable management and utilization of livestock. This study aims to examine the concept of livestock self-sufficiency in the Quran and analyze its relevance in Surah An-Nahl, verse 5, and Surah Al-An'am, verse 143, based on M. Quraish Shihab's interpretation in Tafsir Al-Mishbah.This study is a library research study using a descriptive-analytical approach. The primary data source used is M. Quraish Shihab's Tafsir Al-Mishbah, while secondary data sources were obtained from books, scientific journals, and other scholarly works relevant to the theme of self-sufficiency and livestock from an Islamic perspective. The data analysis technique used was content analysis to explore the meaning and message of Quranic verses related to livestock self-sufficiency. The results of the study indicate that the concept of livestock self-sufficiency in the Qur'an contains the values of independence, optimal utilization of Allah Swt's blessings, and responsible management of natural resources. QS An-Nahl verse 5 emphasizes the various benefits of livestock for humans, both as a source of food, clothing, and means of life, while QS Al-An'am verse 143 emphasizes the halal aspects and sharia provisions in the use of livestock. M. Quraish Shihab's interpretation in Tafsir Al-Mishbah shows that these verses are relevant to efforts to realize livestock self-sufficiency in the contemporary context, especially in building food independence based on Islamic ethical and spiritual values.
