Abstract: Since its inception, the United Nations has always dedicated its efforts and focus to the betterment of our world. In the context of ensuring peace and prosperity for current and future generations, the UN has stipulated (SDGs) Sustainable Development Goals (2015-2030) to address sustainable development for quality of education (Goal No. 4) and a wide range of diverse economic, social, and ecologic issues. This study delves into the SDG4 and its targets which aim to achieve sustainable quality and equality in the field of education by 2030. Applying an analytical and descriptive approach, the article explores the areas of convergence and alignment between UN Sustainable Development Goal 4 and the Shari’ah principles on fostering sustainable educational strategies and practices, ensuring free and equal access to quality education for all individuals, regardless of their gender or age, and establishing an integrated sustainable perspective on key elements of the educational process, including qualified teachers, effective student, and integrated curriculum and methodology. The study findings affirm that the Islamic Shari’ah reiterates the significance of the sustainability in education through learning and sharing for all individuals, regardless of their backgrounds, social status, age or gender. This emphasis on the importance of education resonates with SDG 4’s focus on promoting equitable and long-life educational opportunities.
