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.
