Keywords:
Sufism, Said Nursi, Ecological Awareness, Climate Change, Environmental EthicsAbstract
Climate change is a global challenge that is not only ecological, but also has spiritual and moral dimensions. This article explores how Said Nursi's Sufism can contribute to ecological awareness in dealing with climate change. The research approach used is a literature study by analyzing the main concepts in Said Nursi's thoughts, especially regarding the relationship between humans and nature and spiritual responsibility towards the environment. The results of the study show that Said Nursi emphasized the importance of awareness of the oneness of God (tawhid) as the basis for environmental ethics, where humans are seen as caliphs who are responsible for maintaining the balance of nature. Furthermore, the concept of tazkiyah al-nafs (purification of the soul) in Nursian Sufism also plays a role in forming an ecological mindset based on spirituality and ethics of sustainability. Thus, Said Nursi's Sufism can be an alternative paradigm in increasing more holistic and sustainable ecological awareness.References
