Abstract

The ecological crisis and increasing social vulnerability caused by climate-related disasters indicate that environmental stewardship cannot be approached solely as a technical agenda, but must also be grounded in value-based and practice-oriented education. This article examines Pesantren Ekologi Ath-Thaariq in West Java as a case of an Indonesian eco-pesantren where ecological praxis serves as a formative medium for religious moderation. Employing a qualitative case-study design, the study draws on field observations, in-depth interviews with eight informants (caretakers, teachers, students, and non-Muslim visitors), and document analysis of the pesantren’s curriculum and interfaith ecological programs. Data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. The findings show that religious moderation at Ath-Thaariq is not primarily transmitted through doctrinal instruction, but emerges as a habitus shaped through ecological labor, everyday ethics of sharing, and action-based interfaith engagement. Programs that frame nature as a shared home “one roof, one air, one earth”, enable participants from different religious backgrounds to collaborate as co-stewards of the environment. This study contributes to discussions on religious moderation by demonstrating how ecological praxis functions as a lived ethical framework that fosters interfaith solidarity and collective responsibility in responding to ecological challenges.

Abstract

This article investigates Qur’an-based ecological piety through a qualitative case study of the Ath-Thaariq Ecological Islamic Boarding School in Garut, West Java. The study examines how Qur’anic teachings on food, agriculture, and ethical resource use are transformed into agroecological practices and everyday lifestyles that sustain land, water, and community relations. Data were collected through field observations, semi-structured interviews with eight informants (caretakers, teachers, students, and interfaith participants), and analysis of curriculum and program documents. The findings demonstrate that ecological piety is cultivated by internalizing the principles of amanah, mizan, anti-israf, and anti-fasad as daily ethical orientations; by applying a Qur’an-practice pedagogy that connects textual interpretation with farming activities; and by promoting interfaith collaboration through shared agricultural work. This study contributes to living Qur’an scholarship by reframing piety as ecological responsibility and offers a practical educational model for value-based environmental learning and religious moderation.
