This article explains that the environmental crisis which is done by human being. This environmental damage is caused by the belief that the realm is offered by God to be utilized by human beings as khalifah on earth with the fullest extent. Through the perennial philosophy approach, this paper explores the importance of spiritual values ​​in human beings when dealing with ecology/environment. This paper concludes that nature and man are equally fitrah (holy). However, there is a very basic difference between the two, that is, humans are gifted by reason, whereas nature does not. Therefore: a) the central role of man is the servant of the universe; b) there is an urgent need for Muslims to improve their behavior to live more harmoniously with nature than humans; c) the moral and ethical dimensions of human beings are essential in order to treat nature with a friendly and courteous manner;  d) the spiritual values ​​in man must always be implied in every line of life when dealing with nature, and e. the task of man sent to the universe is inseparable from the concept of tawhid, khalifah, amanah, akhirah, adl, and mizan.

Crisis Phenomenon

The environmental crisis, known as the ecological crisis, is becoming more widespread. It demands our care as human beings who assume the role of khalifah on earth to actively participate in preventing more massive environmental damage. Man can’t live alone without the support of various resources that exist in his environment. However, the awareness of the importance of preserving and protecting the natural is still lacking. Environmental education is expected to be a vehicle to educate the general public and learners, in particular, to better understand the global environmental crisis phenomenon and foster an attitude to be more concerned with the environment, by internalizing religious values. Building an ecologically-based religious spirit should be conducted simultaneously and sustainably at all levels and compositions of the community especially Muslims, given that the ecological crisis has a universal impact. Recognizing the role of human as a caliph who is in charge of safeguarding and managing nature and the consequences of damaging the environment in terms of Islamic perspective is expected to arouse public awareness to participate actively in maintaining, managing wisely and preserving the surrounding environment. Keywords: environmental ethics; environmental education; conservation; Islam.

Al-Quran is a holy book revealed to humans the prophet Muhammad through the Prophet in which there is a self-contained information about the nature and purpose of creation of the universe, and include information on the quality of man in the sight of Allah. To capture the moral messages needed wholeness of understanding, because the Qur'an It is a unity among the topics of discussion have a correlation to the topic of discussion as well. Among the important topics that revealed the Qur'an is the human quality. Human quality in view of the Koran which the author reveals here is the quality of man as a creature theoformis having a great in him, which is awarded sense to distinguish between good and bad, that led him to the highest quality as a human devoted to his Maker. In the case of the creation of human beings is not the act of God in vain. But the goal is to be a human being as a khalifa on earth. The role of the caliphate is not limited to the leaders of the community, but contains a meaning to every human being, how he set himself, the family, society and the people. Human role as a leader will be held accountable in accordance with its potential. The use of the potential that should be in accordance with the method and manner inform Allah through the Koran and sunnah of prophet.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to focus on the religious and philosophical ways humans view nature, and how we perceive and treat our planet, including all its living entities. Its purpose is to make a positive influence on individuals living in the Eastern and Western hemispheres, so that those who are unaware may be given an unexpected glimpse at our current human situation, which appears increasingly discouraging with regard to sensitivity towards nature. Design/methodology/approach – By offering a subtle, insightful view of human nature and its connection to religion and the universe, rather than facts and statistics on pollution alone, this conceptual paper introduces theoretical and philosophical discussions from comparative literature as well as narratives from actual interviews conducted in Japan. Findings – As human beings, we need to better define our position in this world, in order to learn to appreciate the true value of our own existence. With regard to the question of where humans lie in nature, a basic difference exists between Asian and Western views. The Asian view of nature has traditionally regarded humans and the universe as continually interacting together – human beings are an integral part of life. This differs from the basic Western notion of humans and nature comprising two separate, opposing elements. Originality/value – This paper offers readers a deeper understanding of how humans feel and perceive nature, to help them realize how urgent it is for us to respect our natural resources on Earth.

It is the people who make the history live, the people is the living history. The ancient inhabitants of the universe, our ancestors, our great ancestors created separate calendars on the basis of their experimental knowledge about the change of the year, month and day. The folk calendar, the lunar calendar, the solar calendar, and the lunar-solar calendar are the meanings that human beings have discovered by studying the mysteries of nature. As a result of man's connection with nature in every field, his observation and comparison, a folk calendar was formed. According to the folk calendar, our ancient ancestors, depending on the movement of celestial bodies, falling leaves from above or below in autumn, the position of clouds in the sky, the redness of the horizon in the morning or evening, the behavior of animals, birds flying close to the ground, weather, rain or snow predicted hurricanes and storms, earthquakes, hot and dry summers, and harsh winters.

There are many reasons why a partnership dialogue between theology (religion) and the natural sciences is needed. However, first and foremost this must be a conversation between one human being and another regarding the most important of human interests. The most effective way to approach complex issues and problems in the dialogue between theology and science is the transdisciplinary approach. Transdisciplinarity can solve prob lems which cannot be resolved by separate attempts. This approach can connect different modes of thought, that is, thought beginning with different points of view on the material world or religion. The transdisciplinary approach takes on the role of mediator, which demands at the “round table” that which unites human beings on a universal human level. This is a new, challenging and demanding approach which requires researchers to leave their own field of interest and strive to learn about other fields. The transdisciplinary approach, as “critical rationality” and a new way of thinking, opposed to classical and reductive rationalism, emphasizing objectivity, is based on controlled conflict–induced paradoxes. Transdisciplinarity creates a new quality — which is not an arithmetic sum of individual disciplines — and enables articulation, i.e. a link between two, at first glance, controversial disciplinary modes of thought.

In Island (1962), Aldous Huxley presents a utopian community in which theinhabitants aim to become "fully human beings" by realizing their "potentialities."I demonstrate how Huxley's notion of the "human potentialities" havebeen misrepresented, both by scholars and by the founders of the Esalen Institute.Huxley's focus on human potentialities arose from a shift in his thinkingfrom the other-worldly mysticism of The Perennial Philosophy (1945) to thelife-affirming traditions of Tantra, Zen and Mahayana Buddhism. In Island,the population attempt to realize their human potentialities and engage in anexperiential spirituality that celebrates the body and nature as sacred throughthe use of the moksha-medicine and the practice of maithuna. I argue thatwhereas Tantric adepts practised maithuna as a means to acquire supernormalpowers (siddhis), in Island the Palanese version of maithuna is quite differentand is used to valorize samsara and the acquisition of human potentialities.

Humanism is charged with fostering a harmful anthropocentrism that has led to the exploitation of non-human beings and the environment. Posthumanist and transhumanist ideas prominently aim at rethinking our self-understanding and human-nature relations. Yet these approaches turn out to be flawed when it comes to addressing the challenges of the “age of the humanity”, the Anthropocene. Whereas posthumanism fails in acknowledging the exceptional role of human beings with regard to political agency and responsibility, transhumanism overemphasizes human capabilities of controlling nature and only deepens the human-nature dualism. Therefore, a critical and humble version of humanism is suggested as a viable alternative. Drawing on pragmatist thinkers William James and F.C.S. Schiller, a resource for de-centering the human being is provided that critically reflects our role in the larger ecosystem and underlines human potentials as well as human responsibilities.

Allah (swt) has elevated man to the highest position in all creation, and bestwed upon him the bounty of reason and knowledge. An in depth study of knowledge itself reveals that, there are two forms and ranks of knowledge in the universe; one is the divinely revealed instintintive level of awareness about reality, and the other is the earned and learned behavoiur based upon knowledge, that is gained through urge, effort and experience. Human beings, apart from the innate divine blessing of knowledge, learns through sense experience, reason and intuitive thinking. The higher form of knowledge is divinely transmission through revelation to the Prophets. The heavenly revealed knowledge has been preserved by human being in the form of Sacred Books; especially a body of knowledge about reality in the form of religion, namely in the Holy Bible and the Holy Qur’an.

This paper wants to position environmental aspects as the main doctrine (ushūl) of Islamic law which is possible to influence and change the mainstream of human beings to behave well towards the existence of the environment. Ontologically, the hifẓ al-bī'ah paradigm is built on the basis of the maṣlaḥah concept which is the core of the concept of maqāṣid ash-sharī'ah formulated in al-kulliyyāt al-khamsa (Five basic benefits), namely guarding religion (hifẓ ad-din) , guarding the soul (hifẓ an-nafs), guarding offspring (hifẓ an-nasl), guarding reason (hifẓ al-'aql) and safeguarding wealth (hif (al-māl). These five things are a necessity to enforce benefit. Specifically the correlation of al-kulliyyāt al-khamsa related to environmental conservation, are: First, Environment is a key word in building a religious society order. Why not, belief in the creator must begin with an introduction to the universe. Second, the environment is the basis of survival. Third, there is an appropriate punishment for perpetrators of environmental damage.
