Abstract

Purpose – The global ecological crisis characterized by environmental damage, exploitation of natural resources, climate change, and low public awareness of environmental sustainability indicates a fundamental problem in the ethical and spiritual dimensions of humankind towards the environment. This phenomenon demands a value approach that is not only technical-ecological, but also touches on religious and moral aspects. In this context, the concept of eco-love from the perspective of the Qur'an becomes important as a spiritual foundation in building the ecological character of society that is oriented towards compassion, responsibility, and environmental sustainability. Methodology – By using the maudhu'i (thematic interpretation method). Findings – The results of the study show that eco-love in the Qur'an is built on several main values, namely: 1. Awareness of ecological monotheism that nature is a manifestation of the signs of Allah's power; 2. Obeying religious and state laws as the responsibility of the caliphate in maintaining the sustainability of the ecosystem on earth; 3. Conservation awareness as compassion for all creatures; 4. Prohibition of ecological damage that threatens the sustainability of human life and the environment; 5. Ethics of balance and moderation in the use of natural resources; 6. Sustainable living culture 7. Eco-community, 8. Social participation in ecohealing efforts, and 9. Protecting nature's rights is the same as protecting human rights, and 10. Happiness with nature and humans in their environmental relations. Research implications/novelty – This study concludes that eco-love from the perspective of the Qur'an is an integral concept that can be used as a basis for forming the ecological character of society through internalizing the values ​​of environmental love, social responsibility, and ecological spirituality. Ecological character in the Qur'an is not only interpreted as behavior that protects nature, but also as a manifestation of faith and holistic human ethics. Originality/value – This study is relevant to theoretical discussions on ecological character education, environmental ethics, ecotheolog, and sustainable development based on religious values.
