<![CDATA[Framed as a negotiation of sacred ecology, this study examines how Qur'an and Tafsir (IAT) students at STAIN Majene receive and interpret the Qur'an's ecological verses amid West Sulawesi's ecological transformation driven by extractive development. Using a qualitative approach supported by descriptive statistical analysis, it integrates Stuart Hall's encoding-decoding model and Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd's contextual hermeneutics as the analytical framework. Subjects were selected through purposive sampling, namely active IAT students who had completed the Tafsir course; data were collected through structured interviews conducted via Google Forms. Of 65 subjects contacted, 62 returned the instrument (response rate: 95.4%), and 61 valid responses were analyzed using the formula P = (f/N) × 100%. Findings show that 90.2% of subjects recognized ecological themes in the Qur'an, yet only 45.9% could name a specific verse. Reception analysis identified three positions: dominant-hegemonic (n = 8; 13.1%), accepting ecological verses as direct moral commands without structural critique; negotiated (n = 51; 83.6%), affirming their normative value while adapting application to local socioeconomic conditions; and oppositional (n = 2; 3.3%), critically questioning dominant interpretations and linking environmental damage to structural forces. These findings underscore the urgency of strengthening critical ecological tafsir in IAT education.]]>
