<![CDATA[The threat of the global climate crisis is multidimensional and endangers the survival of humanity as well as the planet’s ecosystems. In the Islamic perspective, humans are positioned as khalifah (vicegerents) who bear moral and spiritual responsibility to preserve the balance of nature.

Using a library research method with a descriptive-analytical qualitative approach, this study analyzes classical Qur’anic exegesis literature, ecotheological thought, and contemporary environmental studies. The findings indicate that current environmental degradation contradicts the principles of tawhid (divine unity), amanah (trust), and mizan (balance).
