Using literature review and in-depth analysis, the study is going to examine the comparative perspective between Islam and the West in addressing two main public issues, i.e. religious tolerance and gender equality. More specifically, this study will provide the policy, agenda and strategy of Islam and good governance in coping with those two issues. Therefore, the finding of the study is that Islam and good governance precisely have no distinctive concept, policies, agendas and strategy. In contrast, both of them obviously agree that religious tolerance and gender equality is important for human life sustainability. The result, Muslim communities have to disseminate the notion of the compatibility between Islam and good governance to the world.
