Abstract

Background. The accelerating climate crisis has prompted renewed global interest in ethical frameworks capable of guiding sustainable human–environment relations. In Islamic thought, the Qur’anic concept of khal?fah f?l-ar? (vicegerency on Earth) has traditionally been interpreted as a moral mandate for stewardship, accountability, and balanced interaction with the natural world. Purpose. This study aims to reexamine khal?fah f?l-ar? through an interdisciplinary lens that integrates Qur’anic exegesis, environmental philosophy, and climate ethics. Method. A qualitative research design is employed using textual hermeneutics, thematic content analysis of classical and modern tafsir, and comparative ethical analysis with environmental stewardship models. Results. The findings demonstrate that khal?fah f?l-ar? embodies a tripartite ethical structure: spiritual responsibility to God, moral responsibility to creation, and intergenerational responsibility for ecological continuity. These dimensions provide a normative foundation that contrasts sharply with anthropocentric paradigms driving ecological degradation. The research further shows that classical Islamic sources contain implicit ecological principles—such as moderation (wasatiyyah), balance (m?z?n), prohibition of harm (l? ?arar), and communal trust (am?nah)—which can form an integrated ethical framework for climate action. Conclusion. The study concludes that reinterpretation of khal?fah f?l-ar? offers a theologically grounded, ethically robust, and culturally resonant model for addressing climate crisis in Muslim-majority societies and globally. This work highlights the potential of Islamic environmental ethics to contribute meaningfully to sustainable policy, ecological education, and faith-informed climate activism.

Abstract

Islam in Southeast Asia has developed through continuous engagement with diverse local cultures, producing distinctive religious expressions that reflect both doctrinal continuity and contextual adaptation. Debates surrounding orthodoxy, reform, and cultural legitimacy have intensified in recent decades, highlighting the need for a systematic examination of how Islamic practices are negotiated within plural socio-cultural settings. This study aims to analyze the patterns of interaction between Islamic teachings and local traditions in selected Southeast Asian communities and to identify the mechanisms through which accommodation, contestation, and reinterpretation occur. A multi-site comparative design was employed, integrating quantitative surveys (N = 54), semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and document analysis across Indonesia, Malaysia, and southern Thailand. Inferential statistical tests and thematic coding were used to examine institutional, generational, and interpretive variations. The findings reveal a dominant pattern of contextualized orthodoxy in which local customs are selectively integrated through scriptural reasoning and institutional mediation. Significant differences were identified between traditionalist and reform-oriented groups, indicating the influence of educational affiliation and global religious networks. The study concludes that Islamic practice in Southeast Asia represents a dynamic process of negotiated continuity rather than binary opposition between religion and culture.

Abstract

Brazil, as one of the world's most biodiverse countries, faces mounting environmental challenges requiring sustainable financing mechanisms aligned with global climate objectives. Green bonds have gained traction in Brazil, yet Shariah-compliant financial instruments remain largely unexplored, despite their global expansion. Green sukuk—Islamic bonds structured to finance environmentally beneficial projects—offer a unique opportunity to bridge Brazil’s sustainability goals with ethical finance practices grounded in Shariah principles. This study explores the legal and Shariah viability of introducing green sukuk as an alternative instrument for environmental financing in Brazil. Employing a qualitative legal research design, the study analyzes Brazil’s existing environmental finance framework, sukuk-related laws in key Islamic finance jurisdictions, and Shariah standards from bodies such as AAOIFI and IFSB. Interviews with Islamic finance scholars, legal experts, and Brazilian regulators supplement the doctrinal analysis. Findings indicate that while Brazil’s regulatory environment permits green financial instruments, legal reforms and institutional support would be necessary to accommodate Shariah-compliant structures. The study concludes that green sukuk could be a viable tool in Brazil’s sustainable finance arsenal, provided that cross-jurisdictional legal harmonization and Shariah alignment are proactively addressed.
