Abstract

Environmental issues have been considered by many scientists in recent decades. Improper interaction (reaction) with the environment has caused irreparable problems in environmental processes. Although basic strategies have been proposed by scientists, so far no satisfactory results have been obtained in eliminating inappropriate interaction (reaction) with the environment. In this article, the environment and the type of human behavior in the face of it is evaluated from the perspective of the Qur'an. So the fundamental question is: from the Qur'an’s point of view, what behaviors are desirable in the face of man in the environment? And what should be done? The result of the research is that the Qur'an confirms a special type of human interaction (reaction) with the environment. Of course, the Qur'an emphasizes the natural religion. For this reason, the Qur'an’s advice regarding human interaction (reaction) with the environment does not apply to every human being. Rather, it is a human being who has behavioral justice according to his natural religion.
