Abstract
This article outlines the engagement of Islamic teachings in international collaborations of the Organization of Islam Cooperation (OIC) Water Vision program. This program is initiated to respond the grave condition of water scarcity as the OIC countries only share 13.3% of the world renewable water due to the desertification, water mismanagement and inadequate water infrastructures. As practical guidelines, the OIC Water Vision employs Islamic values as follow: (1) Shura (consultation and participation); (2) Ijtihad (the seeking and sharing of knowledge); (3) avoiding Fassad (to not causing harm and equitable use), (4) Zakat (sharing of wealth with the poor), and (5) Waqf (the use of donated endowment funds). By using international collaboration as a theoretical framework, this article aims to depict the OIC’s vision of water sustainability; while qualitative method provides a valuable approach to examine both empirical and interpretative data related to the OIC Water Vision programs. We find that Islamic teachings play two aspects in this program, namely in the principle foundation and shared values.
