RELEVANSI TAFSIR MAQASHIDI ABDUL MUSTAQIM DALAM KONTEKS ANTHROPOCENE: STUDI ANALISIS TERHADAP AYAT-AYAT EKOLOGI

Abstrak

This study examines the maqāṣidī exegesis approach to Qur’anic verses related to ecology within the context of the Anthropocene environmental crisis, an era in which human activity has become the dominant factor driving global changes such as climate warming, pollution, and deforestation. The aim of this research is to analyze the actualization of the Qur’an’s ecological message through maqāṣidī interpretation, focusing on three key verses: QS. al-Baqarah [2]:11 on the prohibition of fasād (corruption), QS. ar-Raḥmān [55]:7–8 on balance (mīzān), and QS. at-Tīn [95]:4 on human dignity as God’s steward (khalīfah). The study employs a qualitative, library-based method with thematic (mawḍū‘ī) analysis, applying the principles of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah such as ḥifẓ al-nafs (protection of life), ḥifẓ al-bi’ah (protection of the environment), and maṣlaḥah (public welfare). The findings demonstrate that maqāṣidī exegesis highlights the universal objectives of Islamic law in safeguarding life, promoting ecological justice, and fostering human moral responsibility. Consequently, this approach offers a foundation for an Islamic environmental ethic that is relevant to addressing contemporary ecological challenges.
