Abstract
<p>This article examines the solutions to the natural environmental damage from the perspective of <em>Tafsir An-Nur</em> by Teungku Muhammad Hasbi ash-Shiddieqy. The study of natural environmental damage by a contemporary Indonesian <em>mufassir in </em><em>bil-ma’tsur </em>and<em> bir-ra’yi </em>style is essential to understand the local interpretation of Al-Qur’an concerning such damage. Through literature study, this research used a descriptive analysis method to describe the perspectives of <em>Tafsir An-Nur</em> regarding verses on the natural environmental damage and the embedded solutions in <em>al-b</em><em>ī’ah </em>and <em>fas</em><em>ā</em><em>d </em>terms. This article argues that human objectification and greed toward the natural environment are the root of natural environmental damage. Humans’ detachment from the moral-spiritual guidance taught by religion, especially Islam, has led humans to exploitative attitudes toward the natural environment. <em>Tafsir An-Nur</em> offers several solutions to overcome the natural environmental damage, namely interpreting the position of humans as caliphs fairly and wisely, cultivating the <em>qana’ah </em>character, eliminating hypocrisy in behaving, and building mutualistic relationships toward the natural environment. This article shows that efforts to end the damage to the natural environment begin with humans’ attention to moral-spiritual aspects of ecology.</p>
