Abstract

Indonesia’s alarming rate of forest degradation, amounting to approximately 1.45 million hectares lost in the past five years, has far-reaching ecological, climatic, and socio-cultural consequences. Beyond the environmental dimension, this crisis raises profound theological concerns, especially within the Islamic worldview, which frames human beings as khalifah (stewards) entrusted with preserving the Earth. The Qur’an emphasizes the importance of ecological balance (mīzān) and explicitly condemns destruction (fasād) on Earth, suggesting that environmental care is a moral and spiritual obligation. This study explores the relevance of Islamic Eco theological principles to Indonesia’s Law No. 18 of 2013 on the Prevention and Eradication of Forest Destruction. Using a hermeneutic analysis of selected Qur’anic verses (Al-Baqarah [2]:164, Al-Aʿrāf [7]:56, and Al-Aḥzāb [33]:72), combined with comparative legal analysis, the research highlights the alignment between religious ethics and statutory forest protection. While the law reflects procedural strength, it lacks integration with deeper Eco theological values that could inspire stronger public commitment. It is understandable that legal frameworks often rely on institutional enforcement, yet in religious societies such as Indonesia, faith-based approaches can enhance policy legitimacy and moral motivation. This study argues for the integration of Qur’anic values, such as stewardship, moderation, and accountability, into environmental education and legal application. Doing so may transform forest conservation from a mere regulatory task into an act of spiritual devotion and collective responsibility. Further empirical research is needed to examine how such integration plays out in practice within local communities, offering valuable insights for more holistic and culturally grounded environmental governance.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze Harun Nasution's thoughts on Islamic education reform in Indonesia, examine the Islamic education reform concept proposed by Nurcholish Madjid, and compare the relevance and contributions of both thinkers to Islamic education in the modern era. This research is a literature study (library research) with a descriptive qualitative approach. Data was collected through literature reviews including books, articles, scientific journals, and other sources relevant to the ideas of Harun Nasution and Nurcholish Madjid. A comparative approach was used to analyze the similarities and differences between the thoughts of the two figures. Data analysis was conducted thematically to identify the main concepts and their implications for Islamic education in Indonesia. The results of this study show that Harun emphasized rationality in Islamic education by integrating religious and general knowledge, eliminating the dichotomy in education, and encouraging a more contextual theological reform. He believed that Islamic education should be responsive to the development of modern science. Nurcholish emphasized the importance of pluralism, modernization, and openness in Islamic education. He advocated for education that not only builds religious knowledge but also shapes moral character, tolerance, and openness to modern science. The conclusion of this research is that the ideas of both thinkers complement each other and are relevant for building an adaptive Islamic education system in response to changing times. Harun's focus is more on theological aspects and rationality, while Nurcholish focuses on pluralism and modernity. Both offer strategic solutions to integrate Islamic values with the demands of globalization.
