Abstract

This study explores environmental ethics from the perspective of the Qur’an and Hadith through a contextual approach, and examines the relevance of Islamic values for contemporary society. Using a qualitative library research method, the study analyzes normative texts of the Qur’an and Hadith, as well as scientific literature related to Islamic environmental ethics. The findings indicate that the Qur’an and Hadith provide ecological principles, including environmental balance (mizan), the prohibition of corruption or environmental destruction (fasad), cleanliness, resource conservation, and compassion for all living beings. The contextual approach allows these values to be translated into modern practices, such as value-based education, public policy, and sustainable social activities. Thus, Islamic environmental ethics is not only normative and moral but also practical, offering concrete guidance for contemporary society in preserving the earth and fostering an ecologically conscious civilization.
