Ecotheology Islam: Teologi Konstruktif Atasi Krisis Lingkungan

Abstract

The earth inhabited by human now is facing global environmental crisis. To respond to and tackle the crisis, a new awareness to explore the principles of religion has emerged today, which was then called ecotheology, an integral environmental insight based on ethical-theological as well as ethical-anthropological dimensions. This paper is aimed at, on the one hand, exposing principles of Islamic ecotheology that are able to be guiding principles in managing the nature, and on the other hand, comparing them with the principles of modern environmental ethics of the environmentalist/ eco-thinkers. The author argues that there are three principles of Islamic ecotheology that are relevant as the basis of ethical management of nature now days, namely the principle of tawḥid (unity of all creation), the principle of āmanah-khalīfah (trustworthiness-moral leadership), and ākhirah (responsibility).

“…Eco-theology merupakan bentuk teologi konstruktif yang menjelaskan hubungan agama dan alam (Quddus, 2012). Beberapa literatur yang ada menjelaskan bahwa konsep eco-theology ini berlandaskan pada prinsipprinsip kristen yang mengacu pada injil (Dalton & Simmons, 2010;Jones, 2004).…”

“…Beberapa literatur yang ada menjelaskan bahwa konsep eco-theology ini berlandaskan pada prinsipprinsip kristen yang mengacu pada injil (Dalton & Simmons, 2010;Jones, 2004). Selanjutnya, beberapa tahun terakhir artikel-artikel muslim mulai membahas konsep ini melalui perspektif Islam, dalam hal ini Al-Qur'an (Quddus, 2012;Iswanto, 2013). Konsep ini melahirkan tiga prinsip untuk membangun sebuah eco-theology yaitu tawhīd (kesatuan seluruh makhluk), amānah-khalīfah (kejujurankepemimpinan), dan ākhirah (tanggung jawab).…”

“…The awareness to overcome the crisis is crucial, especially by exploring the spiritual religious values such as values of ecotheology. Quddus (2012) contends that integral environmental insights of ethical-theologic and ethical-anthropologic dimensions can be the guiding principles in nature management. According to him, the relation between the three poles (God, nature and human) must walk in conformable, balance and harmony.…”

“…The removal of one of these poles will cause imbalance that leads to environmental exploitation and crises. Globally, there is an ecological crisis depicted at least in three forms of environmental degradations: (1) global warming, (2) depletion of the ozone layer, and (3) acid rain (Quddus, 2012). Thus, the religious sensitivity is needed and expected to generate modern ecological solutions holistically.…”
