Therefore, the paper discusses on the fundamental features of Islamic green accounting conception to the public spheres in attaining sustainable growth and financial stability. Consequently, this paper aims to investigate the Islamic green accounting concepts within the Islamic philosophical perspectives and examine the requirements within the Islamic accounting spectrum for documenting Islamic transactions particularly waqf and zakat transactions.

The findings reflect the appropriate management of Islamic accounting in delineating the contribution of waqf and allocation of zakat are essential in ensuring the distribution of wealth to people in need. The Islamic green accounting consists on the operationalization, management and implementation of waqf and zakat strategies to accommodate social needs and social welfare.
