Abstract
Housing is an essential component of human life, offering not just shelter but also security, comfort, and a sense of belonging to a society. The concept of dwelling is firmly embedded in the broader framework of Maqasid al Shari'ah, which covers Islamic law's ultimate purposes and values. The fundamental goals of Maqasid al Shari'ah are to promote social welfare, justice, and overall well-being for individuals and society. Within this paradigm, housing is seen as a basic human right, with a heavy emphasis on ensuring that everyone, regardless of socioeconomic level, has access to appropriate and affordable housing. This strategy seeks to build inclusive, sustainable, and peaceful communities. The objectives of this study are twofold: first, to examine housing through the lens of the Islamic perspective, specifically Maqasid al Shari’ah; and second, to explore how equitable and resilient communities can be developed through appropriate housing policies and practices. The research draws on primary sources fromthe Quran as well as secondary data from books and academic journals. A qualitative content analysis method has been employed to analyze the gathered information. By applying Maqasid al Shari'ah principles to housing, the study aims to emphasise the need of providing safe, secure, and inexpensive accommodation for all individuals. This not only meets the urgent need for shelter, but it also promotes larger social goals like justice, equality, and community harmony
