This study explores the intersection of classical Islamic philosophical thought and modern environmental ethics to propose a Sharia-based eco-theology model for addressing global sustainability challenges. It investigates key Islamic environmental principles, such as khalifah (stewardship), amanah (trustworthiness), and mizan (balance), which emphasize humanity’s responsibility to protect and preserve the environment. These values, derived from Islamic teachings, offer a moral and spiritual framework for ecological stewardship, aligning closely with contemporary concerns like sustainability, biodiversity preservation, and climate change mitigation. The research integrates these Islamic principles with modern ecological ethics, including ecocentrism, deep ecology, and environmental justice, to construct a holistic eco-theological model. Through this framework, the study emphasizes the importance of balancing ecological, economic, and social factors to promote environmental justice. The findings suggest that Islamic eco-theology can play a significant role in fostering environmental responsibility within Muslim communities and beyond, contributing to global sustainability efforts. Practical applications of these principles are seen in educational initiatives, such as the incorporation of eco-theology into curricula at Islamic institutions, and in community-based environmental projects. The research also highlights the challenges and limitations of traditional interpretations of Islamic environmental ethics, suggesting the need for progressive and adaptive approaches in addressing modern environmental issues. Future research directions include exploring the integration of this eco-theology in policy-making, Islamic education, and cross-cultural applications, ensuring its relevance to diverse communities facing environmental challenges.

This study investigates the effect of roof tile waste used as a partial replacement for fine aggregate on the fresh and hardened properties of concrete, with the aim of promoting more sustainable and environmentally friendly construction materials. The research employed an experimental laboratory method with quantitative analysis. Roof tile waste was incorporated into concrete mixtures at substitution levels of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% by weight of fine aggregate. The workability of fresh concrete was evaluated using slump tests in accordance with SNI 1972:2011, while compressive strength tests were conducted on cylindrical specimens after 28 days of curing based on SNI 1974:2011 standards. The results indicate that increasing the proportion of roof tile waste reduced concrete workability, as shown by a decrease in slump values from 10 cm in the control mix to 8 cm at the 20% replacement level. Compressive strength also exhibited a declining trend, decreasing from 14.63 MPa to 11.90 MPa at the highest substitution, representing an approximate reduction of 18.7%. Nevertheless, concrete containing 5% roof tile waste achieved a compressive strength of 14.32 MPa, which is comparable to normal concrete. These findings suggest that roof tile waste can be utilized as a partial fine aggregate replacement at limited levels. A 5% substitution was identified as the optimal proportion to maintain acceptable workability and strength while supporting sustainable concrete development.
