Abstract

This study examines lecturers’ perceptions of integrating Islamic environmental ethics in sustainability education in Libyan higher education institutions. Using a mixed-methods design, survey data were collected from 150 lecturers at the University of Zawia using a 21item questionnaire covering conceptual understanding, perceived importance, teaching practices, perceived outcomes, institutional support, and challenges/professional needs. Semi-structured interviews with 10 lecturers were conducted to contextualize and explain the quantitative patterns. Quantitative findings showed strong support to the conceptual coherence and importance of Islamic environmental ethics for sustainability education, with high perceived student outcomes, but only moderate levels of reported teaching practices. Institutional support received the lowest ratings and showed high variability, while professional development and time constraints emerged as notable needs. Qualitative themes indicated that lecturers commonly anchor sustainability in Islamic concepts such as khilafah (stewardship), amanah (trust), mizan (balance), and harm prevention, and report higher student engagement when sustainability is framed as moral accountability and identity-consistent learning. However, implementation was constrained by limited structured programs, scarce teaching materials, lack of locally grounded Libyan case resources, and challenges in assessing ethical learning outcomes. The study suggests implementation pathway from ethical integration to pedagogical translation and institutional enabling conditions, offering implications for curriculum design, staff development, and policy to support scalable integration in Libyan universities.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze ayat (68–69) of Surah Al-Nahl through a multidisciplinary approach that combines philological and rhetorical analysis of the Qur’anic text with comparisons to modern findings in chemistry, biology, and medical sciences. The methodology emphasizes the centrality of the Qur’anic text and its interpretation by major exegetes such as Al-Tabari and Ibn Kathir, while incorporating experimental results from peer-reviewed scientific research. The study addresses precise linguistic and rhetorical elements, such as the connotation of the verb “awḥā” in the context of the innate inspiration of bees, the meaning of “buṭūnihā” in light of insect anatomy, the lexical and rhetorical variety in “mukhtalifun alwānuhu”, and the sensory and metaphorical implications of “shifāʾun lil-nās.” The findings reveal a striking convergence between Qur’anic depictions and modern scientific studies that demonstrate honey’s antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as its variation according to botanical and geographical sources. The study concludes that the Qur’anic text presents an integrated model that unites miraculous eloquence with scientific precision, and calls for a research methodology that combines revelation with empirical knowledge within a reflective and epistemological framework.

Abstract

This study examines the role of the Islamic Education as a required course in developing awareness, understanding, and behavioral intentions related to Sustainable Development among students in scientific disciplines at the University of Zawia, Libya. Although sustainability has become as a national priority in Libya and North Africa in general, higher education institutions often struggle to embed sustainability principles within curricula, especially in non-specialized general courses. Using a mixed-methods design, the study collected quantitative data from 250 students in mathematics, biology, chemistry, computer science, and physics, supported by qualitative interviews with ten lecturers teaching the Islamic Education course. Descriptive analysis of the questionnaire responses showed moderate to high levels of sustainability awareness, with the course contributing significantly to students’ ethical understanding of environmental and social responsibilities rooted in Islamic concepts. Students also evaluated the course's teaching methods positively, although they expressed their need for more applied, modern and interdisciplinary approaches. The findings further demonstrated that the course positively influenced students’ attitudes and behavioral intentions toward adopting sustainable practices in their personal and future professional careers. Thematic analysis of lecturer interviews supported these results, highlighting pedagogical strategies, challenges, and opportunities for strengthening sustainability integration. The study concludes that the Islamic Education course serves as a valuable ethical and intellectual framework for promoting sustainability among scientific majors in Libyan higher education. Recommendations include curriculum enhancement, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the development of institutional regulations to support sustainability initiatives.
