This study investigates the integration of key Islamic values within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, focusing on five core principles: efficient spending, rational consumption, knowledge development, family preservation, and food security. Utilizing a content analysis of relevant policy documents and interviews with policymakers, this research elucidates how these values influence decision-making processes and contribute to societal growth. The findings reveal that Vision 2030 promotes these Islamic values through specific initiatives. For instance, the government's renewable energy projects not only aim for sustainability but also reflect Islamic teachings on environmental stewardship. Educational reforms are strategically designed to enhance knowledge development, aligning with Islamic imperatives for learning. Furthermore, initiatives aimed at improving food security and supporting family integrity underscore the vision's commitment to holistic community well-being. This study critically analyzes the implications of embedding these values into national policy, suggesting that while the alignment with Islamic principles bolsters public support, it also poses challenges in implementation, particularly in balancing tradition with modern economic demands. Ultimately, the study emphasizes the importance of disseminating these values to showcase Saudi Arabia's dedication to profound human and moral principles, grounded in its Islamic culture. It concludes that Vision 2030 establishes a robust framework for integrating these values across various programs and initiatives, reflected in both public and private sectors and media representations of national objectives.
