Abstract
This essay explores human development in the Muslim world through a comparative analysis with non-Muslim countries, highlighting notable disparities. It emphasizes the adoption of the human development framework initiated by the UNDP and supported by economists like Amartya Sen, which focuses on expanding individual capabilities rather than merely economic growth. By categorizing countries into segments based on income and religion, the discussion seeks to illuminate the challenges of human under-development and advocates for targeted measures to foster positive change.
