Abstract: Abstract There are prominent grassroots movements today in Malaysia that are fired by a comprehensive Islamic approach to human and socio-economic development. They derive their model of socio-economic development from the Islamic concept of integrating the inner development of self with broad-based socio-economic development. Thus self-actualisation and knowledge formation find their expression in human and socio-economic development. Inner development as a self-actualisation process is referred to here as Hablum Minallah; the externalisation of this is referred to as Hablum Minannas.1 The total developmental approach is the interaction and integration of these two activities. Hence the Malaysian grassroots movements hold an interactive-integrative world view of structural change.
