Mechanisms for Preserving the Human Environment in the Contemporary Reality

Abstract

All wise humans agree that the environment is the scope in which humans live, and that humans are religiously, ethically, legally, and socially obligated to preserve and care for the environment. The environment is their home and their life, in which they live and die. Islamic law warns against environmental degradation and causing harm to it. The environment is not exclusive to humans alone; other creatures such as animals, plants, and inanimate objects share it. Preserving the environment is one of the highest objectives of Islamic law, through preserving it in a person's self and their wealth. The methodology used in this research is descriptive-analytic, and it aims to prove how all legislations prioritize the human environment and how divine legislations aim to preserve it throughout all stages of life. The research is limited to the human environment and its different stages of life. One of the most important findings of the research is that all mechanisms for preserving the human environment aim to care for human beings, regardless of gender or race, as everyone is equal before the law. And from the most important recommendations of the research is that the researcher recommends that individuals, institutions, and governments should prioritize vital issues that serve humanity, such as caring for the environment and its vital problems. The research is divided into three sections, a conclusion, and indexes.
