Abstract

This study aims to explore the concept of khalifah (vicegerent) and amanah (trust)
in the Qur’an as the theological foundation for human responsibility in managing and
preserving the natural environment. The current ecological crisis reflects human
failure to fulfill their divine duty as the stewards of the earth. Using a qualitative
approach through library research, this study analyzes Qur’anic verses related to
environmental ethics, including Surah Al-Baqarah [2]:30, Al-An‘am [6]:165, Al-A‘raf
[7]:56, Ar-Rum [30]:41, and Al-Ahzab [33]:72. Data were obtained from classical and
contemporary exegeses, as well as relevant journal articles. The findings indicate
that Islam places humans as trustees of Allah to maintain balance (mizan) and
prosperity on earth, emphasizing moral, spiritual, and social values in environmental
management. The study concludes that by internalizing the Qur’anic concepts of
khalifah and amanah, Muslims can develop ecological awareness and
environmental ethics rooted in faith, thus contributing to sustainable development
based on spiritual values.
