Abstract

The challenge posed by the world’s current environmental crisis has elicited a response from mainstream world religions in the form of efforts to construct an environmental ethics, based on religious and spiritual values. Suggestions for protecting and conserving the environment are a very ancient and fundamental aspect of religious teaching.  The  author will explore the perspectives  of a number of environmental thinkers, including Fachruddin Mangunjaya of Indonesia, Hossein Nasr as a representative of Sufism,  and  Fazlun Khalid of the United Kingdom. The paper draws on structured and unstructured interviews with these thinkers and on exploration of their published works on nature conservation. From these sources the author has realized the urgency for religious communities to engage in sustaining the planet. The author has also identified the means to utilize and empower religious doctrines for environmental conservation. From these three sources we can learn strategies for elaborating productive Islamic values of environmental conservation and promoting a greater need of engagement and collaboration among them in initiating practical conservation projects.

Abstract

This article examines the Sufi concept of tajallī and its application to environmental ethics. This study usesdescriptive and productive interpretation to analyze the data which are extracted from the main works of Ibn  ͑Arabī, namely Fuṣūṣ al-Ḥikam and al-Futūḥāt al-Makkiyya. It finds that Ibn ʿArabī’s concept of tajallī can be understood not only in its philosophical sense but also in its spiritual and moral sense to develop a new approach to environmental ethics. This research has valid implications for taking a new direction in the study of mystic Islam and environmental ethic by incorporating tajallī and other Sufi doctrines such as waḥdat al-wujūd, maḥabbah, and maʿrifah.

Abstract

There are four types patterns of shifting population due to the influence of modernity, namely ruralization, urbanization, transmigration and circulation. Ruralization is the movement from city to village while urbanization is moving from village to city. Migration is a permanent migration of people from one area to another. Finally, circulation is the movement of people to fulfill certain interests such as work and living in two different places, so they must move every day from village to city. This research focuses on the Study of the Relationship between Ruralization and Local Residents: The Pattern of Religious Harmony in the Suburbs of Jakarta. The overflow of Jakarta's population is accommodated by new growth areas which are then concluded to be Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, Bekasi. The occurrence of this displacement is due to a push factor from the area of origin, a pull factor from the destination. Attractor factor is the hope of getting opportunity to improve their standard of living and religious, political, and ethnic considerations in the area of origin. Eventhough religion is another factor but residents of villages as rural targets have religious affinity that is inherent in religious identity with ethnic groups, especially Betawi ethnic groups as local residents with migrants residents. Religious factors as a basis for determining the work ethic of social cohesiveness in this case religious harmony. Therefore, a strategy is needed to build social cohesiveness due to culture and diversity to avoid social tensions.

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 study examines how philosophy is practiced within the context of Islamic higher education by mapping the theories, methodologies, and approaches found in undergraduate theses at the Faculty of Ushuluddin, UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta. The research aims to provide an overview of how students engage with classical and contemporary philosophical frameworks to address issues such as globalization, modernity, and pluralism. Adopting a qualitative descriptive design, this study analyzes a corpus of student theses to identify dominant theoretical orientations and methodological tendencies. The findings reveal that Islamic epistemology, ethics, and metaphysics are the most frequently applied theoretical domains. Methodologically, textual analysis and doctrinal approaches dominate, while comparative and hermeneutical methods appear as complementary strategies. Other approaches, including historical, socio-cultural, and ethnographic perspectives, are less common, yet normative-philosophical analysis remains the most prevalent overall. These results suggest that while students demonstrate awareness of contemporary challenges, their engagement is mediated through traditional Islamic philosophical frameworks. This study contributes to discussions on philosophy pedagogy in Islamic higher education and highlights the need for broader methodological diversity to respond effectively to current intellectual and societal issues.

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.
