Abstract: (477 Views) |
| How to deal with the environment, especially due to weather hazards, climate changes and the extinction of biological species, as a result of excessive human use, is one of the most important concerns of contemporary societies. Meanwhile, using the capacity of religious teachings to make serious changes in the attitude towards the environment and how to treat it can be very helpful. Based on this, the present study was carried out using qualitative content analysis method based on documentary data, with the aim of explaining the status and dignity of the environment in the context of the basic principles of Islamic human rights. The findings showed that the principles of Islamic human rights, while emphasizing the inherent dignity and virtue of man and the right to benefit from nature, depict for him the place of succession and trustworthiness on the earth and on this basis, tie the right to benefit from the environment with the need to protect nature as a moral and religious duty that has an intrinsic value. This attitude and its dissemination can be used as an effective model for promoting sustainable and responsible behaviors towards the environment in Islamic societies and as an example for other societies |
