گلوبل وارمنگ کے سدباب میں اسلامی اخلاقیات کا کردار: ایک تنقیدی و تجزیاتی مطالعہ

Abstract

وَلَا تُفْسِدُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ بَعْدَ إِصْلَاحِهَا وَادْعُوهُ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا ۚ إِنَّ رَحْمَتَ اللَّهِ قَرِيبٌ مِّنَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ

"And cause not corruption upon the earth after its reformation. And invoke Him in fear and aspiration. Indeed, the mercy of Allah is near to the doers of good" [i].

The escalating crisis of global warming presents an existential threat to the delicate ecological balance of our planet. Modern anthropocentric philosophies have commodified nature, viewing the environment solely as a resource for unchecked economic exploitation. This relentless industrial capitalization has precipitated severe climatic disruptions. The Islamic ethical paradigm offers a profoundly distinct eco-theology, rooted in the metaphysical concepts of Khilafah, Amanah, and Mizan. Nature is not a subjugated entity but a sacred sanctuary where every element exists in a state of continuous divine glorification. We critically analyze the integration of Islamic environmental ethics in mitigating climate change, moving beyond secular environmentalism to a spiritual framework of ecological responsibility. The prohibition of Israf and Tabdheer serves as a direct legislative counter to modern consumerism and carbon-intensive lifestyles. The Prophetic traditions strictly mandate the preservation of flora and fauna, the conservation of water, and the establishment of protected ecological zones. Western utilitarian approaches attempt to solve environmental degradation through mere technological fixes, ignoring the underlying spiritual void. The Islamic jurisprudential principles, specifically the maxim of "La Darar wa La Dirar”, provide a robust legal foundation for enacting state-level environmental policies and curbing industrial emissions. True ecological restoration is inextricably linked to spiritual reformation, demanding a paradigm shift from human supremacy over nature to harmonious stewardship under divine guidance.
