Likewise, his calls for reviving dead soil, forbidding the cutting of trees indiscriminately, forbidding littering in any place, and a number of appeals concerning the maintenance and preservation of the environment. Therefore, if there are humans who do damage or damage the environment, then he is considered to have violated Islamic law. Efforts to build environmental awareness should be carried out through education, coaching and inculcating the values of Islamic teachings sourced from the arguments of the Qur'an and Hadith.
