This article aims to examine and analyze the development worldview (tasawwur) in the Qur’an. The examination and analysis is based on the selected verses of the Qur’an that are related to development worldview. In the Qur'an, the verses of the development worldview are actually located separately in many chapters (surah). The question then is which ones of the verses could be accounted as the verses of the development worldview? What are the conceptual elements of the development worldview in the Qur'an that could be constructed from these verses? This article attempts to seek for the answer through three main purposes. Firstly, to identify the selected verses of the Qur'an that are related to the development worldview. Secondly, to analyze the conceptual elements of the development worldview in the identified Quranic verses; and thirdly, to develop the conceptual elements of the development worldview based on the identified verses of the Qur‘an. All these are analyzed using a content analysis method. It will be shown that there are six conceptual elements of development worldview found in the Qur‘an. They are Oneness of Allah, servitude of self/worship to Allah, vicegerent on earth, natural resources, time frame – world of al-ruh, present world, and the world hereafter, and pleasures of Allah. It is based on these six conceptual elements of development worldview that the Islamic- based development (IbD) worldview is constructed.
