Abstract

How Islamic ecotheological principles acquire culturally specific meanings and expressions in environmental conservation remains insufficiently understood, particularly across ethnocultural communities sharing a broader religious and regional context. This study examines the contextualization of Islamic ecotheology through Sasak, Samawa, and Mbojo cultural values and practices in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. A qualitative interpretive multi-site design was employed, involving 30 informants equally distributed across the three communities. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, three focus-group discussions involving previously interviewed participants, direct observation, and document analysis. Data were analyzed through thematic interpretation, hermeneutic analysis, and cross-cultural comparison. The findings indicate that khalifah, amanah, mizan, and the prohibition of fasad provide shared ethical orientations emphasizing environmental responsibility and ecological balance. Among the Sasak, awiq-awiq reflects customary arrangements associated with natural-resource protection, while Samawa values, including Larap, Saling Sadu, and Saling Puji, and the Mbojo philosophy of Mori ro Mada provide culturally situated interpretations of collective responsibility. However, empirical evidence supporting specific Samawa and Mbojo conservation functions remains less direct than that supporting Sasak customary arrangements. The study proposes a religious–cultural translation framework comprising normative orientation, cultural interpretation, institutional mediation, and ecological enactment. This framework explains culturally embedded environmental responsibilities without establishing causal relationships or independently measured conservation outcomes.
