<![CDATA[The global environmental crisis has predominantly been framed as a technical problem demanding scientific solutions, managerial interventions, and green technologies, while the ethical dimension shaping human-nature relations remains marginalized in analytical discourse. This approach leaves fundamental questions unresolved, as ecological degradation persists despite advances in technological innovation and environmental policy. This article proposes an alternative reading by positioning the environmental crisis as a moral-civilizational failure through an ecotheological study of Muhammad Ratib An Nabulsi's Qur'anic exegesis. Employing a qualitative hermeneutic approach with thematic analysis, environmentally-themed Qur'anic verses are read constellatively alongside An Nabulsi's interpretations to reveal a value structure linking faith, stewardship (amanah), balance, and ecological responsibility. This reading demonstrates that within An Nabulsi's exegesis, environmental destruction is understood as carrying spiritual consequences stemming from distorted human life orientations— particularly through consumerism, excess (isrāf), and the erosion of moral boundaries. Nature becomes positioned as a space of ethical accountability reflecting the quality of faith and civilizational maturity. By establishing Islamic ecotheology as a framework of religious ethics, this article offers theoretical contributions to contemporary environmental ethics discourse, specifically in responding to the global ecological crisis amid technological acceleration, instrumental rationality, and modern civilizational transformation.]]>
