Abstract: This
paper aims to delve into the connection between Islam and environmental
protection by thoroughly examining the health and social impacts caused by
pollution and deforestation in Katsina City and its surroundings. It draws
inspiration from the principles of Islamic teachings, emphasizing our duty as
stewards responsible for the well-being of the Earth. The research focuses on
translating these principles into practical solutions for contemporary
environmental challenges. Using a blend of quantitative surveys and qualitative
interviews, this study strives to gauge the extent of pollution and deforestation,
understanding how these issues affect the health and overall well-being of the
community. Additionally, it explores the socio-economic implications, shedding
light on how environmental degradation may worsen existing vulnerabilities. The
insights derived from this research contribute to the broader conversation
about the role of religion, specifically Islam, in shaping environmental ethics
and promoting sustainable practices. By showcasing the real-world consequences
of environmental neglect in Katsina City and its environs, the study not only
stresses the urgency of adopting eco-friendly policies but also underscores how
Islamic teachings align with contemporary environmental conservation efforts.
Ultimately, this research serves as a valuable tool for policymakers,
environmental advocates, and community leaders looking to incorporate Islamic
principles into effective strategies for environmental protection, health
promotion, and social well-being.
