Nature of Existence and Preservation of Nature in the Context of Allah-Nature and Human Relations in Islamic Cosmology

Journal Title: Marife Dini Araştırmalar Dergisi - Year 2018, Vol 18, Issue 2

Abstract

Perhaps the most neglected and understudied subject in the history of Islamic thought is Islamic cosmology. The fact that the relationship between Allah, the nature of existence and nature, which reflects the universality of Islamic thought, is not adequately made visible has been understood as if there is no word of Islam about nature and the environment. Perhaps as a reflection of this situation, Islamic geography has remained dry as a nature these days. This drought lives not only in nature, but also in all areas of life mentally, intellectually and emotionally. It is a grave situation that a religion that declares the whole universe is a reflection of divine mercy and that every natural being is in a constant state of praying is condemned to this kind of drought and consumes every area of life. This article has been written in order to move this most valuable aspect of Islamic thought back to the academic stage, in the form of a statement, and to explore how Qur’an approaches this issue. This article basically covers the Qur’an’s emphasis on nature, its preservation, and a review of certain studies in the history of Islamic thought related to the issue.
