It highlights how Islam, as a comprehensive religion, provides ethical guidance for humanity's relationship with nature, emphasizing stewardship (<em>khalifah</em>), balance (<em>mizan</em>), and moderation (<em>israf</em>). Islamic education is crucial in fostering environmental awareness, where schools and religious institutions can incorporate teachings that promote conservation as a religious duty. The article underscores the concept of "<em>Rahmatan Lil 'Alamin</em>" (mercy to all creation), positioning environmental care as a central tenet of the faith. Practical applications of these principles are seen in initiatives like tree planting, water conservation, and the "Green Mosque" movement in Muslim-majority countries. By integrating Islamic values into education and policy, Muslim communities are contributing to global sustainability efforts, demonstrating that faith-based approaches can offer valuable solutions to modern ecological challenges. The article concludes by advocating for a stronger alignment between Islamic education and environmental ethics to inspire a new generation of environmentally conscious Muslims.</p> 2024-10-11T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 APCoMS : The Annual Postgraduate Conference on Muslim Society
