The Impacts Of Islamic Studiens On Social Harmony And Ecological Conservation

Abstract

Abstract: This study explores the strategic role of Islamic studies in promoting social harmony and ecological conservation amid contemporary global challenges. Against the backdrop of environmental degradation and identity-based social conflict, the integration of Islamic teachings—such as rahmatan lil ‘alamin, maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, and khilāfah offers an ethical-spiritual framework that is both transformative and responsive. Using a qualitative methodology that combines phenomenological and case study approaches, the research examines how Islamic education, religious services, digital da'wah, and economic principles contribute to building sustainable and inclusive societies. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis from eco-conscious communities such as pesantren and indigenous Muslim groups. The findings reveal that Islamic values, when contextualized and implemented through participatory pedagogy and institutional support, can address issues ranging from climate change to digital radicalism. However, a gap remains between Islamic normative ideals and their practical realization. The study concludes by emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary collaboration and recommends further research on Islamic responses to socio-environmental crises through education and public policy
