This study aims to reconstruct the relationship between humans and nature based on the interpretation of the Qur'an and the tarbawi hadith to formulate a conceptual framework for Islamic ecopedagogy that can transcend the anthropocentric paradigm. This study is motivated by the increasing global ecological crisis related to the anthropocentric perspective that places humans as the center of reality and provides legitimacy to the exploitation of nature. Although various studies have discussed Islamic environmental ethics, ecotheology, and environmental education, studies that integrate the interpretation of the Qur'an, the tarbawi hadith, and educational theory into the framework of Islamic ecopedagogy are still relatively limited. This study uses a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach by adapting the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework. Literature related to the ecological interpretation of the Qur'an, environmental hadith, Islamic ecotheology, Islamic environmental ethics, and Islamic ecological education was identified, selected, and systematically analyzed from various reputable academic sources. Data were analyzed using thematic synthesis to identify key concepts, theoretical tendencies, and patterns of human-nature relationships from an Islamic perspective. The results show that the Qur'an and the tarbawi hadith construct a relational paradigm based on the principles of monotheism, khalifah, amanah, mizan, islah, and rahmah. These principles position humans not as the absolute owners of nature, but as responsible guardians and managers of the ecological system of God's creation. The findings also indicate that the environmental crisis is an epistemological, ethical, and spiritual crisis that requires a transformation of the educational paradigm. The novelty of this research lies in the systematic integration of Qur'anic interpretation, tarbawi hadith, Islamic ecotheology, and educational theory within the framework of Post-Anthropocentric Islamic Ecopedagogy. This research contributes to the development of Islamic ecotheology studies and Islamic education while providing a conceptual foundation for the development of curricula and educational practices oriented towards ecological awareness, environmental ethics, and sustainability.
