Ecojustice Education in Quranic Perspective

Abstract

The anthropocentric paradigm accuses the teachings of celestial religion as the basis of the argument about the thought that humans are the most important/center element in the universe, from this thinking arrogance arises exploiting natural resources activities and leading to environmental damage. This study wants to uncover the teachings of the Al-Qur’an about patterns of interaction between humans and nature that should be cooperative and complementary, through the concept of ecojustice education. Through maudu'i's interpretation method, this research produced the concept of ecojustice education about respecting the existence and enforcement of natural rights by creating a safe and healthy environment for all people as a form of worship and accountability to the God. Through concepts that integrate students' intellectual, emotional and psychological dimensions in understanding nature, teacher not only educate students about environmental preservation and law enforcement efforts, this concept could also help to touch the spiritual dimension between teacher and students in viewing the sistemic relationship between God, humans and nature.
