This article develops the Islamic Emergency Response Framework (IERF) as an integrative model of emergency management grounded in maqāṣid al-sharīʿah and contemporary safety management systems. The study originates from a critical appraisal of prevailing emergency management approaches, which tend to be technocratic and predominantly oriented toward procedural compliance without a sufficient ethical foundation. Employing a conceptual–qualitative design through interdisciplinary literature synthesis, this research integrates the principles of ḥifẓ al-nafs (protection of life), amanah (trust and responsibility), and harm prevention (anti-muḍārat) with the ISO 45001 framework and contemporary risk management practices. The findings indicate that the IERF is structured around four integrative layers: foundational values, normative principles, managerial systems, and operational mechanisms. The model extends the concept of safety culture beyond procedural compliance toward the internalization of moral and spiritual values in emergency decision-making processes. Theoretically, the IERF contributes to the development of Islamic safety science and broadens the application of maqāṣid al-sharīʿah within the domain of occupational safety and health. Practically, the framework is relevant to industrial sectors, educational institutions, and organizations operating within Muslim-majority contexts. Overall, this framework offers a more holistic, ethically grounded, and sustainable paradigm for emergency response.
