Protection of Plants and Forest Life: A Study of Islamic Teachings and Pakistani Laws

Abstract

The protection of plants and forest life is a critical aspect that is deeply rooted in Islamic teachings and enshrined within Pakistani laws. Through a spiritual lens, the terrestrial environment is viewed as a divine creation, where any attempt to disrupt its delicate balance is considered a transgression against the divine order. Neglecting this connection between Allah and the environment can lead to misguided perceptions of the separation between spirituality and materiality, resulting in the misuse of natural resources and environmental harm. The Quranic injunction to avoid causing mischief on Earth emphasizes the imperative to preserve the environment and condemns those who engage in disruptive activities. Islamic teachings explicitly mandate every Muslim to protect the flora and fauna, as highlighted in both the Quran and Hadith. A comprehensive understanding of these religious teachings is crucial for fostering an ethical and conscientious approach to environmental conservation. This study explores the intersection of Islamic principles and Pakistani laws in safeguarding plants and forest life, emphasizing the importance of religious teachings in promoting environmental stewardship.
