Environment, ethics, Islam, stewardship, resources, Qur’anAbstract
This article discusses various difficulties arising out of the concept of environmental ethics from an Islamic theological perspective. The author begins by describing growing Muslim awareness of environmental issues. Since the issue of manufactured climate change could not be raised in traditional Islam, the need arises to work out an environmental ethics based on the Qur’an. Subsequently, the Qur’anic concepts of hilafa and amana become the main focus of the article. The author highlights the need to develop a consistent view of Islamic ethics within the rise of Islamic theology in the European context, a view that is consistent with pre-modern Islamic scientific traditions and that deals with the contemporary understanding of ethics.
