Abstract

The world of being that surrounds man, formed by cities, forests, seas, and the sky is called the environment. These places are the habitat of all living things like humans. Although the man was a part of these areas, he began to damage these areas over time. In parallel with the technical progress, trees were cut down, soil and water became polluted, and the sky began to be poisoned. Environmental problems began to destroy the future of man and all living species. For this reason, thinkers have started to produce solutions to overcome these problems. For this purpose, they developed new environmental theories and environmental moral principles. In this process, there is no doubt that the Islamic faith, which guides humanity and claims universality, also has solutions to the problems experienced. The environment had an important place in the Qur'an and the life of the Prophet Muhammad. However, since there were no destructive environmental disasters in their periods, Islamic scholars did not make a systematic discourse on the subject. Today, however, it is necessary to formulate a systematic environmental theory of how Muslims should view the environment. Because in many academic circulars, the environmental principles of the religion of Islam are frequently asked. In this article, we will try to develop a method and theory on Islamic environmental ethics. Our claim is relative and aims to present a perspective to scientists who want to work on this subject.
