Abstract: Change may be perceived as any noticeable transformation over time that affects not only temporarily the structure of the social organization of a given collectivity. In the same time, it interferes with its historical path. Change requires, invariably, specific models of social development. It aims to modernize, to induce the development of the subject within the referred process. Without any doubt, the change involves the emergences of various categories of externalities. It is desirable that these externalities should be mostly positive so their effects could be quantified by an entire economic, social, political and cultural system. In this case, defining the Islamic sustainable development is an interesting approach. From Islamic perspective, the concept of sustainable development is compatible with the Islamic paradigm, because it incorporates moral values that need to be followed in the context of the application of socio-economic policies.
