Abstract
Human security is a people-centred framework which is central for achieving sustainable development. It was formally introduced by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in 1994. While discussion on the Western view of human security is widely published, there is only a limited number of human security publications from the Islamic perspective. This paper aims to examine the Islamic perspective on the human security approach. Building on the discourse analysis methods, this study found that Islam implements human security's essence long before the UNDP introduced the concept of human security. However, in addition to the material security as discussed in the Western perspective, Islam also concerns the spiritual security.
