Kesadaran Ekologi dalam Perspektif Al-Qur’an: Kajian Tafsir Maudhū‘ī

Abstract

This article explores ecological awareness in the Qur’anic perspective through the thematic interpretation (tafsīr maudhū‘ī) method. The global environmental crisissuch as climate change, pollution, and deforestation has become a serious threat to human sustainability. The Qur’an, as a divine guidance, provides normative principles regarding the human-nature relationship, particularly in the context of human responsibility as khalīfah fi al-ardh. This study collects several relevant verses, including QS. al-Baqarah: 30, QS. al-Rūm: 41, QS. al-A‘rāf: 56, QS. al-An‘ām: 141, and QS. al-Isrā’: 27. The analysis reveals that Qur’anic ecological awareness encompasses four main principles: the responsibility of khalīfah, prohibition of fasād (corruption/ destruction), balance (mīzān), and sustainable consumption ethics. This study highlights that the Qur’an not only emphasizes spiritual aspects but also demands active human participation in preserving the earth as part of a divine trust.
