Abstract

This study explores the synergy between Islamic scholarship and ecological courage in the context of the global environmental crisis. Using a mixed-methods approach, this research investigates the potential of Islamic teachings in shaping comprehensive environmental ethics and promoting concrete action. Results indicate positive trends in implementing Islamic principles in environmental policies, education, and socio-economic practices. A survey of 500 Muslim scholars and environmental activists reveals that 78% of respondents believe in the strong relevance of Islamic teachings to contemporary environmental issues. Analysis of policy documents in five Muslim-majority countries shows an increased use of fiqh al-bi'ah (Islamic environmental jurisprudence) in environmental regulations. Implementation challenges remain, with 60% of policymakers reporting difficulties in translating Islamic principles into concrete policies. However, innovations such as "green sukuk" and the green mosque movement demonstrate the potential for integrating Islamic values with modern sustainability practices.
