The current global environmental crisis is not only caused by technical and economic factors, but also reflects a spiritual and ethical crisis in the modern human view of nature. Seyyed Hossein Nasr, a contemporary Islamic philosopher and thinker, offers an environmental ethics approach based on Islamic spirituality that emphasizes the sanctity of nature and the relationship between humans and God as the center of ecological morality. This study aims to examine in depth the concept of environmental ethics according to Nasr, as well as its relevance in responding to contemporary ecological challenges. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and literature study of Nasr's works, this study found that Nasr's concept of environmental ethics is based on the principles of monotheism, trust, and the ontological relationship between humans and the universe. Nasr criticized the Western secular and anthropocentric paradigm that objectifies nature and called for the restoration of the sacred relationship between humans and the environment as the basis for sustainable ecological ethics. The results of this study are expected to contribute to the development of holistic and spiritual environmental ethics in global and local contexts.

This study explores the concept and practical implementation of halal production in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) through the lens of Islamic economics. Employing a qualitative literature review approach, it synthesizes findings from previous studies on Islamic production theory, halal assurance systems, and the economic role of MSMEs in Indonesia. The analysis reveals that halal production encompasses not only compliance with Islamic jurisprudence but also ethical, environmental, and social dimensions, emphasizing justice, transparency, and sustainability in business operations. For MSMEs, adopting halal production practices can strengthen consumer confidence, improve competitiveness in both domestic and global markets, and contribute to national economic resilience. Nonetheless, challenges persist, including a limited understanding of halal standards among entrepreneurs, high certification costs, and inadequate access to institutional and governmental support. Addressing these issues requires an integrated strategy involving collaboration among policymakers, halal certification authorities, and MSME actors. This study concludes that empowering MSMEs through education, digital innovation, and regulatory reinforcement is vital to achieving a sustainable and inclusive halal economy aligned with the principles of Islamic ethics.

Many phenomena are present and occur in human life, both those with major impacts and those with relatively small impacts, and of course the impact of these will also be felt well. The environmental crisis remains a trending topic in the global scope due to the impact and impact of the deteriorating environmental conditions itself. The natural crisis has a very large impact, pressuring the life of humanity in the process of survival. Not only does it impact humans, but there is a large tendency to impact cosmological concepts. The threat to humanity from this phenomenon as an ecological crisis, demands a strong and good contribution in striving for nature in the context of preserving and restoring nature itself. It cannot be denied that the role of nature is truly enormous for human life, so it is very necessary to take action that can protect and care for nature, not the opposite to exploit nature itself. A local conceptual-based action that involves the community itself is a solution in monitoring and restoring the condition of nature to the present. Environmental ethics need to be built within the scope of society in a context that is directly in contact with nature, which is none other than the elements of nature itself. Communities must take swift action to address this visibly deteriorating natural environment. This study employed a qualitative research method with a literature review approach. The study found that the concept of community democracy, in its efforts to maintain justice among living things, has a positive impact as a collective contribution to protecting and restoring nature in its crisis context.

Human life is highly dependent on a balanced relationship with both the natural and social environment. However, environmental degradation caused by human greed, uncontrolled exploitation of natural resources, and unsustainable consumption patterns has led to widespread ecological crises across various parts of the world. This study aims to examine in depth how ecological values embedded in Buddhist teachings can foster strong environmental awareness, particularly among Buddhist communities. Using a qualitative literature review method, the study systematically analyzes various textual sources, including Buddhist scriptures, classical literature, and contemporary ecological literature. The findings indicate that Buddhist teachings, which emphasize the principles of interdependence, moral ethics, mindfulness, and respect for all living beings, can cultivate attitudes of care and responsibility toward the environment when these values are consistently integrated into education from an early age, both within families, schools, monasteries, and the broader community. This study makes a significant contribution to the discourse on religion-based ecological ethics by positioning Buddhist ecology as a conceptual framework for the sustainable and profound transformation of ecological consciousness.

This study examines the implementation of care governance in environmental public administration by highlighting the role of non-human actors. Based on Actor–Network Theory (ANT), exploratory qualitative research was conducted in the densely populated area of Tanjungpinang (April–June 2025). In environmental management, success is determined not only by technical skills, but also by the capacity of citizens to manage digital documents, spatial data, and technological infrastructure. Through interviews, observations, and document analysis. This approach was chosen because it allows for in-depth exploration of complex, contextual, and previously unstudied social phenomena, especially in the context of care governance to involve the relationship between humans and non-human objects in the local government ecosystem. Findings show that flood sensors, digital SOPs, inter-agency WhatsApp groups, and monitoring dashboards function as actors that trigger, direct, and accelerate coordination and decision-making. The integration of sensors and dashboards automates early warnings and the distribution of instructions, enabling rapid response. Implications: digital systems need to be designed as administrative actors with ethics, accountability, and capacity building. This study concludes that the implementation of care governance in environmental public administration at the local level cannot be separated from the active role of non-human actors such as flood sensors, digital documents, and online communication systems. Findings show that entities Findings show that these entities function not only as technical tools, but also as an integral part of a decision-making network capable of directing, accelerating, and streamlining administrative responses to environmental situations.

This article aims to examine in depth the implementation of moral values in Islamic educational institutions as a strategic step in shaping students who are not only intellectually intelligent, but also excel morally and spiritually. This research uses a qualitative approach with a library study type, through analysis of Islamic literature, articles on moral education, and relevant research results that discuss moral values. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of moral values in Islamic education includes three main aspects. First, morals towards Allah, including instilling piety, sincerity, and obedience through worship, spiritual habits, and strengthening religious ethics. Second, morals towards fellow human beings, which are realized by fostering honesty, justice, tolerance, empathy, and social responsibility through daily interactions, cooperation, and social activities. Third, morals towards nature, which includes instilling an attitude of love for the environment, preserving God's creation, and building ecological awareness as part of a Muslim's moral responsibility. Strategies for implementing moral values include integrating values into all subjects, providing role models by teachers and other educational staff, fostering positive behavior within the school environment, and continuously evaluating student attitudes and behavior. This strategy is designed to instill moral values not only at the cognitive level but also as concrete habits in daily life. This article's contribution lies in developing a conceptual and practical framework for building an Islamic education system oriented toward holistic character formation. With this approach, moral values are expected to be thoroughly internalized in students' personal, social, and environmental lives.  

This study aims to examine in depth the role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in shaping the character and ethics of students at Madrasah Aliyah Al-Hikmah, Ciruas, Serang, Banten. Amidst the challenges of globalization and modernization that bring changes in values and behavior, PAI plays a strategic role in instilling moral, spiritual, and social values in students. Religious education not only teaches religious knowledge but also shapes attitudes, behaviors, and mindsets in accordance with Islamic teachings, enabling students to cope with diverse environmental influences. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. Research informants consisted of PAI teachers, students, the principal, and homeroom teachers, thus obtaining a comprehensive picture of the implementation of PAI at the madrasah. The results show that PAI makes a significant contribution to the formation of student character, particularly in aspects of religiosity, discipline, responsibility, honesty, tolerance, and courtesy. Learning strategies used include habituating worship, teacher role models, enforcing school rules, and integrating Islamic values into all subjects. Additionally, extracurricular activities such as religious study groups, Islamic holiday commemorations, and Quran memorization programs are also effective tools for strengthening students' character. However, this study also identified several challenges, including low parental involvement in children's character development, negative environmental influences, and limited variety of learning methods. Therefore, synergy between madrasahs, families, and the community is needed to create an educational ecosystem that supports comprehensive and sustainable character development. Through this collaboration, Islamic Religious Education (PAI) is expected to provide a strong foundation for creating a generation with noble character and competitiveness in the modern era.

In an increasingly complex and dynamic global landscape, strategic leadership plays a pivotal role in ensuring organizational resilience and sustainable growth. This study seeks to provide a meaningful contribution to the development of leadership strategies aimed at fostering both learning-oriented and ethically grounded organizations. Adopting a literature review approach, the research synthesizes a range of scholarly works to explore in depth the leadership practices that facilitate continuous learning while embedding ethical principles into organizational operations and culture.The analysis reveals that the essence of effective strategic leadership lies in the capacity to navigate rapid changes, exercise authority with wisdom, and cultivate a culture of integrity. Leaders who can anticipate and adapt to environmental shifts, while maintaining transparency and fairness, are better positioned to build trust and commitment within their organizations. Additionally, strategic leadership is found to be instrumental in shaping an environment that nurtures collaboration, stimulates innovation, and incorporates ethical considerations into all levels of decision-making.The findings underscore that leadership strategies must not only address operational and competitive challenges but also prioritize moral responsibility and collective well-being. This dual focus enables organizations to remain agile while preserving their ethical identity, thus strengthening their reputation and long-term sustainability.Ultimately, the study offers practical recommendations for leaders, particularly in the public and educational sectors, to design adaptive organizational systems rooted in ethical values. By integrating learning processes with moral governance, leaders can create a synergistic and sustainable framework that supports both organizational performance and societal trust, ensuring relevance and resilience in the face of continual change.

This study examines social ecology from the perspective of hadith science (‘ulum al-hadith), with the aim of exploring the environmental and social values contained in prophetic hadiths. The main focus of this study is the methodological analysis of hadiths related to ecological issues, such as environmental conservation, social justice, and natural resource management. This study uses a hadith criticism approach, namely by examining aspects of authenticity through analysis of sanad (chain of narrators), criticism of matan (the content of the hadith), and contextual and semantic interpretation of hadiths relevant to environmental themes. In this study, the hadiths analyzed were selectively selected based on their relevance to the principles of Islamic social ecology. The analysis process was carried out thoroughly to assess the validity of the hadith and understand its meaning and normative objectives. This approach integrates classical evaluation methods of hadith science with a contemporary ethical perspective, resulting in a comprehensive framework for formulating hadith-based environmental ethics. Research findings indicate that many authentic hadiths contain strong social ecological principles, such as the concept of caliphate (human leadership over the earth), mizan (balance), and distributive justice. These values emphasize the importance of human responsibility in preserving nature and creating harmony between humans and their environment. These hadiths also demonstrate the close relationship between the spiritual dimension and socio-ecological responsibility. This study makes a significant contribution to the development of hadith-based Islamic environmental jurisprudence. With a methodological and academic approach, this study enriches understanding of Islamic ecological ethics and opens up opportunities for integrating religious values into just and sustainable environmental management.

The growing environmental crisis underscores the need for education systems to foster ecological responsibility among students. This study explores the potential for multifaith schools to cultivate environmental moral education through an interreligious pedagogical model. By integrating diverse religious teachings on ecology, the proposed model aims to promote shared moral values for environmental protection and sustainability. The research addresses the gap in existing environmental education, which often lacks an integrated approach that incorporates various religious perspectives. Through a qualitative research design, the study analyzes curricula, observes classroom practices, conducts interviews with educators, and evaluates existing environmental education frameworks in multifaith schools. The study identifies key strategies, including the incorporation of eco-ethics from different religious traditions, project-based learning, and interfaith dialogues, as effective means of fostering ecological responsibility. However, challenges such as balancing doctrinal differences, overcoming biases, and developing inclusive pedagogy remain. The study emphasizes the importance of designing educational content that respects all faiths and promotes intercultural dialogue, thereby encouraging a collective commitment to sustainability. The findings suggest that multifaith schools can serve as powerful platforms for environmental moral education, highlighting the value of integrating religious perspectives into sustainability education. The study concludes with recommendations for incorporating interreligious eco-ethics into curricula and teacher training programs and suggests future research on the long-term impact of interreligious environmental education and its applicability in diverse cultural contexts.

This study explores the integration of indigenous spiritual knowledge into modern environmental ethics, focusing on the role of traditional ecological wisdom, spiritual cosmology, and stewardship practices in promoting sustainability.

This study examines social ecology from the perspective of hadith science ('ulum al-hadith), focusing on methodological analysis of prophetic traditions related to environmental and social issues. Using hadith criticism methodology, this research analyzes the authenticity, context, and semantic dimensions of ecological hadiths to construct a comprehensive framework of Islamic environmental ethics. The study applies classical hadith evaluation criteria including sanad analysis, matn criticism, and contextual interpretation to examine how prophetic traditions address the intersection of social and ecological concerns. Findings indicate that authentic hadiths provide a robust foundation for social ecological principles, with particular emphasis on stewardship (khilafah), balance (mizan), and distributive justice in resource management. This research contributes to the development of hadith-based environmental jurisprudence and offers methodologically sound approaches to understanding Islamic ecological ethics.

This study examines the implementation of the Sigalovada Sutta as a form of ancestral devotion within the Nyadran Dauwang tradition practiced by the Buddhist community in Depok Hamlet, Java. Grounded in the understanding that religion and culture are deeply intertwined, the research aims to explore how Buddhist doctrinal values are actualized through local communal rituals and how these practices contribute to social cohesion, environmental stewardship, and cultural continuity. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews with religious leaders, elders, and community members, and analysis of ritual documentation. Triangulation of methods and sources was applied to enhance the credibility and depth of interpretation. The findings reveal that Nyadran Dauwang consists of four interrelated components: communal cleaning of irrigation canals (Susuk Wangang), ritual journeys accompanied by offerings and food sharing, interfaith prayer gatherings, and Wayang Kulit performances. These practices embody key Buddhist values such as spiritual friendship, loving-kindness, compassion, ethical reciprocity, and collective merit-making, as articulated in the Sigalovada Sutta. The tradition also reinforces respect for ancestors, strengthens intergenerational bonds, promotes ecological awareness, and fosters harmony in a pluralistic religious setting. Rather than functioning as a rigid doctrinal text, the Sigalovada Sutta operates as a living ethical framework that guides communal life through culturally resonant forms. In conclusion, the study demonstrates that Nyadran Dauwang represents a contextualized enactment of Buddhist ethics that integrates religious teachings with local cultural heritage. This integration offers an important model for Buddhist religious education, cultural preservation, and community-based approaches to social and environmental sustainability.

This study explores the integration of the Grounded Theory (GT) approach, developed by Anselm Strauss and Barney Glaser, into thematic hadith studies (maudhū‘ī) as a methodological alternative for extracting meaning and constructing theory from hadith texts. This approach is considered capable of producing more contextual, relevant, and applicable understandings of contemporary social issues such as justice, leadership, and environmental ethics. By employing GT’s systematic stages open coding, axial coding, and selective coding hadith research goes beyond mere thematic classification and evolves into a theorization process directly rooted in hadith data. While GT offers advantages in flexibility and contextual depth, its application also faces epistemological and technical challenges, particularly in terms of data validity, interpretive bias, and the integration of modern qualitative methods with the principles of ulūm al-ḥadīth. Therefore, an interdisciplinary approach is necessary, involving collaboration between hadith scholars and social researchers, alongside strong mastery of qualitative methodology. In conclusion, GT is not a replacement for classical methods, but a complementary tool that broadens the horizons of hadith studies. By combining the strengths of the Islamic scholarly tradition and contemporary methodologies, this approach has the potential to enrich Islamic epistemology and to present hadith as a living, dynamic, and relevant source of values for modern society.

The policy of granting Mining Business Licenses (IUP) to universities under Article 51A of the Minerba Bill raises legal, ethical, and sustainability concerns. This study applies a qualitative approach through literature review to examine the provision from the perspectives of Indonesian law and Islamic teachings. The findings reveal that allowing universities to manage mining permits risks diminishing their academic role, compromising scholarly independence, and fostering potential conflicts of interest. From the standpoint of positive law, this policy contradicts the precautionary principle, social justice, and educational objectives enshrined in the 1945 Constitution, the Higher Education Law, and the Environmental Protection Law. In Islamic thought, irresponsible exploitation of natural resources is classified as fasād (corruption), strictly prohibited, as reflected in Hadith No. 479 narrated by Bukhari. The study concludes by rejecting the provision and recommends repositioning universities as guardians of sustainability values rather than participants in extractive industries.
