Abstrakt

Ochrona zasobów wodnych stanowi palący problem na całym świecie, zwłaszcza w świetle rosnącego niedoboru zasobów czystej wody. Islam, druga co do wielkości religia świata, kładzie duży nacisk na rozważne i odpowiedzialne korzystanie z wody, zarówno w rytuałach religijnych, jak i w życiu codziennym. W niniejszym artykule przedstawiono koncepcję ochrony zasobów wodnych z perspektywy Koranu, zwracając szczególną uwagę na etyczne aspekty wykorzystania wody w obrzędach oczyszczania. Stosując zasady krytycznego myślenia oraz metodologie analityczne, autorzy proponują egzegetyczne podejście w ramach interpretacyjnych zasad al-Adabī al-Ijtimāʻī. Odkrycia wskazują, że Koran przedstawia wodę jako podstawowe źródło życia, symbol czystości i boskie błogosławieństwo, które należy chronić. Chociaż nauki Islamu zalecają rytualne oczyszczenie przed pewnymi aktami kultu religijnego, obecne praktyki korzystania z wody w tym celu często odbiegają od zasad w nich zawartych. Dlatego też wspieranie zbiorowej świadomości etycznej wśród muzułmanów w zakresie korzystania z wody jest niezbędne do ograniczenia zanieczyszczenia i promowania działań na rzecz zrównoważonej eksploatacji zasobów wodnych.

Słowa kluczowe:

gospodarowanie wodą, Koran, rytuały oczyszczające, odpowiedzialność środowiskowa, zrównoważone zarządzanie zasobami, religia i ekologia, Islam i ekologia
