Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to contextualize the Qur'anic principle of Mizan as a Theological framework for addressing the global climate crisis, which reflects a cosmic imbalance resulting from excessive anthropogenic activities. It specifically explores how Mizan can be implemented as a solution through the lenses of two major contemporary exegetes. Methodology: This research employs a qualitative library research method, utilizing thematic (maudhu'i) and comparative (muqarran) exegetical approaches. The analysis focuses on comparing the legalistic-contemporary perspective of Wahbah al-Zuhayli's Tafsir Al-Munir with socio-literary (adabi-ijtima'i) style of Buya Hamka's Tafsir Al-Azhar. Results: The findings demonstrate that Wahbah al-Zuhayli emphasizes Mizan as a divine rule that is legally binding, where environmental destruction is categorized as a Sharia violation with sinful consequences. Conversely, Buya Hamka perceives Mizan as a manifestation of cosmic harmony and spiritual etiquette (adab). The synthesis of these perspectives culminates in the concept of "Integral Mizan" a mitigation model that integrates regulatory firmness (law) with moral consciousness (adab). Application/Originality/Value: This research contributes a novel theological-ecological model called "Integral Mizan" to the discourse on environmental ethics. It offers a robust theological foundation for policy-makers and religious scholars to develop comprehensive, solutive, and spiritually-grounded climate mitigation policies.
