Abstract

This study aims to explore the interrelation between innovation and literacy, proposing an integrated model of scientific and Qur’anic literacy as a strategic pathway for Islamic economic development. Employing a qualitative library research method, this research analyses a broad spectrum of literature—including books, academic journals, blog articles, and relevant documents—using keywords such as innovation, literacy, synthesis, science, Qur’an, and
Islamic economic development. The study also references case examples such as innovations in bottled drinking water and the printed Qur’an.The findings of this study are presented in the form of conceptual framework, which demonstrates that innovation is rooted in creativity, and creativity in turn originates from literacy. In the context of Islamic economic development, innovation is not solely grounded in the Qur’an and Hadith but also draws upon scientific literacy. While conventional theories continue to be employed within the scope of Islamic economic development. This study helps the Islamic
economic actors find creative ideas and problem solving by synthetizing science and the Quran (SSQ) and provides updated literacy conducive to innovation in Islamic economy development.
