Abstract

Living in an eon of environmental crises and being followers of Islam; the religion of more than one billion individuals being practiced in essentially every country on earth, the explanation of an Islamic ecological ethic in contemporary terms becomes even more pressing. Beginning in the last part of the 1960s, few Muslim researchers directed their concentration toward how the Islamic sacred writing and scholarly practice may assist Muslims with comprehension and react to environmental change and ecological emergencies. In building this Islamic way to deal with environment, these researchers embraced a nearby investigation of the Qur'an, the Sunnah (the gathered practices of the Prophet Muhammad), hundreds of years of Islamic law, and the works of Sufi spiritualists and researchers to develop Islamic natural philosophies and law. The paper is an exploratory study of the contemporary Islamic discourse on environmental ethics. An attempt is made to highlight the key Muslim scholarship on the subject as well as to highlight the purpose and connotation of environmental themes in light of Quran and Sunnah and the objectives of Shaiah. Further the researchers have tried to underscore the key themes like preservation of the natural resources and Islamic ethical principles involved in any such attempt.
