Therefore: a) the central role of man is the servant of the universe; b) there is an urgent need for Muslims to improve their behavior to live more harmoniously with nature than humans; c) the moral and ethical dimensions of human beings are essential in order to treat nature with a friendly and courteous manner;  d) the spiritual values ​​in man must always be implied in every line of life when dealing with nature, and e. the task of man sent to the universe is inseparable from the concept of tawhid, khalifah, amanah, akhirah, adl, and mizan.
