<![CDATA[This study examines how ecological norms are communicated in prophetic traditions through a pragmatic analysis of selected hadith reports. While previous scholarship on Islamic environmental ethics has primarily emphasized theological principles and legal interpretation, limited attention has been given to the communicative mechanisms through which ecological guidance is conveyed. Addressing this gap, the study employs a qualitative discourse-pragmatic design. Data were collected through purposive selection of seven ecology-related hadith identified from thematic secondary sources and verified against canonical hadith collections. The data were analyzed qualitatively using an integrated framework of speech act theory, implicature, and presupposition. The findings indicate that prophetic ecological discourse operates through multiple pragmatic strategies rather than through explicit formulation alone. Environmental guidance is communicated through indirect directives, exhortative and incentive-based expressions, declarative statements concerning shared resources, performative regulatory actions, and prohibitive directives aimed at protecting communal utilities. These mechanisms regulate environmental behavior across both individual and institutional domains. The analysis further demonstrates that ecological norms are frequently constructed through implicit meaning. Implicatures and presuppositions play a central role in shaping interpretations of moral responsibility, appropriate conduct, communal entitlement, and regulatory authority. The study identifies three recurring pragmatic strategies within the corpus: ethical interiorization, institutional governance, and protective sanction. Overall, the study argues that prophetic ecological discourse functions as an integrated pragmatic system that combines moral cultivation with the governance of shared environmental resources, contributing to both pragmatic studies and Islamic environmental ethics.]]>
