Synopsis: The oceans—vast, life-sustaining, and deeply interconnected with human survival—are among the greatest signs of divine creation. Yet today they face unprecedented threats: pollution, overfishing, climate change, biodiversity loss, and coastal poverty. This book emerges from the conviction that zakat, as a divinely mandated instrument of social justice, can be strategically aligned with sustainable ocean stewardship. By integrating Islamic social finance with the principles of the blue economy, this work seeks to offer a transformative framework that addresses both human vulnerability and environmental degradation in coastal and marine contexts.
