The present paper introduces Shah Wali-Allah Dehlawi’s concept of the stages of socio-economic development (al-artifact). According to him, starting from simple primitive village life to an international community, the socio-economic development of human society can be divided into four stages. The first stage is dominated by simple economic struggle while the last stage is developed to maintain just political order on an international level, to safeguard the socio-economic interests of different states, and establish peace and justice among them. All economic ideas of Shah Wali-Allah are related, in some way or the other, to his concept of irtifaqat or stages of socio-economic development. Sustainable development meets present needs without compromising the future. It requires holistic, systems-thinking about environmental, social, and economic limitations. Governments must lead the sustainability transition through policy, incentives, and investment. But we all have a role through our individual choices and actions. By working together to rethink and transform how we live and produce, we can build an equitable society that thrives within planetary boundaries. The time to act is now.
