Islam and Environmental Preservation for Sustainable Development

The paper looks into the Islamic viewpoint on the environment. In today's globalized world, most discussions of development strategies centered on the environment. This is why the deteriorating environment has a negative impact on human lives and endangers future generations. The current environmental crisis jeopardizes humans, other living organisms, and the natural world. Human behavior's significance in relation to the natural environment has not changed. Technological solution has not been resulting in satisfying outcome. When it comes to the role of the Islamic principles of unity, trusteeship, and responsibility in environmental awareness, Qur’anic and prophetic teachings can help people form friendly relationships with God, humanity, and nature. This paper is a modest attempt to comprehend the Islamic approach to the environment in order to investigate various conceptual dimensions of environmental security and Islam's potential role in environmental protection for the greater good of humanity. The paper also discusses how Islam enjoins Muslims toward managing as well preserving physical and natural environment. Empirical method of data Collection is employed in study. It finally recommends that, there are several other aspects that can be followed by Muslims to achieve effective environmental management and preservation, including environmental education, Islamic mass media, and Islamic environmental law enforcement policies.
