<![CDATA[This article explores the reconstruction of environmental education principles through an ecological tafsir (interpretation) approach to the Qur’an, aiming to cultivate ecologically conscious stewards of the earth. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method using a library research approach, analyzing Qur’anic verses related to the environment as well as classical and contemporary exegeses. The findings reveal that the Qur’an contains profound environmental education values, particularly through the concepts of tawhīd (oneness of God), mīzān (balance), and khalīfah (stewardship of the earth). The concept of khalīfah emphasizes human responsibility to manage and preserve nature as a trust from God. Ecological exegesis analysis shows that environmental damage contradicts the principle of natural balance taught in Islam. The implementation of these values in educational curricula - through the integration of ecological verses, tadabbur (contemplation) activities, and direct practices such as greening - can build sustainable environmental awareness and behavior. This article concludes that an environmental education approach based on Qur’anic exegesis is not only theologically relevant but also practical in addressing the global environmental crisis, and contributes to shaping individuals with a responsible character toward nature’s preservation]]>
