Abstract :

This article discusses Islamic eco-theological values implemented in the form of green da’wa in Pesantren (Islamic boarding schools) in Indonesia. Using a case study approach at Pesantren Al Ittifaq in Bandung, West Java, and Pesantren Assalaam in Manado, North Sulawesi, this article observes how Islamic eco- theological principles are implemented in Islamic preaching practices in Pesantren. Data was obtained through interviews, observations, documentation studies and focused discussions. The results of the study show that both Pesantren, Al Ittifaq and Assalaam, integrate ecotheological principles into various da’wa and educational programmes, such as sustainable agriculture and the provision of ecological understanding and awareness based on the Qur’an and Hadith. Specifically, Pesantren Al Ittifaq stands out with its agribusiness innovation in the form of sustainable agriculture as a form of environmental da’wa, while Pesantren Assalaam places more emphasis on strengthening awareness of the importance of environmentally friendly da’wa and building ecological awareness within the Pesantren and the surrounding community. These findings prove that Pesantrens have an important and strategic role as educational institutions that implement the principles of Islamic ecotheology in the practice of green da’wa.
