The global food and energy crisis is not only caused by an imbalance in supply and demand, but also by a crisis of values in the modern economic system that is oriented towards material profit and ignores social justice and ecological balance. This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic economics as a sustainable solution to this crisis through a qualitative, normative-philosophical approach with thematic analysis based on maqasid al-shariah. The results show that the principles of al-'adl (justice), tawazun (balance), and al-maslahah al-'ammah (public benefit) can form the basis of equitable food and energy policies. The integration of maqasid al-shariah with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has proven to strengthen food security, expand energy access, and encourage ethical green development. Zakat, productive waqf, and Islamic microfinance instruments play a significant role in resource redistribution and empowerment of the poor. Thus, Islamic economics offers not only an alternative system but also a moral and ecological paradigm that restores the balance between humans, nature, and God.
