Synopsis: Forests are among the most vital natural resources entrusted to humanity. They regulate climate, preserve biodiversity, sustain livelihoods, and provide economic value across generations. In Islamic economic thought, the management of forests is not merely a technical or commercial activity but a moral responsibility grounded in the principles of tawḥīd (divine unity), khilāfah (stewardship), and amānah (trust). The objectives of maqāṣid al-sharīʿah—particularly the protection of life, wealth, and future generations—provide a comprehensive ethical framework for sustainable forestry governance. This volume explores how Islamic economics and finance can contribute to building an integrated and responsible forestry sector aligned with environmental sustainability and social justice.
