THE CLIMATE CHANGE IN PERSPECTIVE OF ISLAM WITH OTHER RELIGIONS: CAUSES AND PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS

Abstract

Climate change, an unprecedented global challenge, has raised urgent concerns regarding environmental degradation and its impacts on humanity. In Islam, environmental stewardship is deeply embedded in the faith, with the Quran and Hadith offering guidance on the relationship between humans and nature. This paper explores the Islamic perspective on climate change, examining its causes and reasons through the lens of religious teachings and Islamic ethics. It highlights how human actions such as overconsumption, deforestation, and pollution, driven by greed and disregard for nature, contribute to the disruption of ecological balance. The study also discusses the Islamic duty of *khilafah* (stewardship) and the moral imperative to protect the Earth. Furthermore, it proposes practical solutions rooted in Islamic principles, including sustainable resource management, the promotion of environmental consciousness, and the adoption of green technologies. By aligning contemporary environmental practices with Islamic values, the paper argues that Muslims can play a significant role in mitigating climate change and fostering a harmonious relationship between humanity and the planet.
