ABSTRAK
Ekoterapi, iaitu pendekatan terapeutik yang melibatkan alam sekitar, semakin popular dalam perubatan moden sebagai kaedah untuk menyokong kesejahteraan mental. Namun, penyelidikan komprehensif yang mengaitkan ekoterapi dengan ajaran Islam masih terhad, terutama dalam menganalisis teks-teks wahyu yang berpotensi selari dengan prinsip ekoterapi. Masalah utama kajian ini ialah kekurangan rujukan yang meneliti panduan wahyu Islam dalam menyokong praktis terapi alam moden. Kajian ini penting bagi menambah kefahaman mengenai keserasian ekoterapi dengan nilai Islam serta memperkenalkan alternatif terapi yang relevan secara budaya untuk masyarakat Muslim. Menggunakan metodologi kualitatif, kajian ini melibatkan analisis teks terhadap ayat-ayat al-Quran yang menyentuh aspek alam serta amalan reflektif seperti tafakkur dan tadabbur. Analisis kandungan digunakan bagi mengidentifikasi prinsip-prinsip ekoterapi yang termaktub dalam wahyu dan bagaimana elemen-elemen ini menyumbang kepada kesejahteraan mental dan spiritual. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa konsep ekoterapi moden selari dengan nilai Islam yang menganjurkan interaksi manusia dengan alam sebagai medium refleksi dan ketenangan jiwa. Ini termasuk amalan tafakkur alam yang dianjurkan dalam al-Quran serta pengalaman Nabi SAW yang melibatkan diri dalam alam sekitar untuk ketenangan batin. Kajian ini menyarankan bahawa ekoterapi berasaskan wahyu dapat menawarkan model penjagaan mental holistik yang sesuai untuk umat Islam. Kajian lanjutan dicadangkan untuk meneliti aplikasi ekoterapi Islam dalam konteks moden, seperti peranan elemen spesifik dalam terapi alam, contohnya, air dan tumbuhan, bagi memperkayakan konsep terapi berasaskan alam dalam tradisi Islam.
ABSTRACT
Ecotherapy, a therapeutic approach involving the natural environment, has gained popularity in modern medicine as a method for supporting mental well-being. However, comprehensive research linking ecotherapy with Islamic teachings is limited, particularly in analyzing revelatory texts that potentially align with ecotherapy principles. The primary issue of this study is the lack of references examining Islamic revelations as guidance for modern nature-based therapies. This study is crucial for enhancing understanding of the compatibility between ecotherapy and Islamic values, as well as introducing a culturally relevant therapeutic alternative for the Muslim community. Using qualitative methodology, this study involves textual analysis of Quranic verses and hadiths that touch upon aspects of nature and reflective practices like tafakkur (contemplation) and tadabbur (reflection). Content analysis is employed to identify ecotherapy principles embedded within revelatory texts and how these elements contribute to mental and spiritual well-being. The study finds that modern ecotherapy concepts align with Islamic values that encourage human interaction with nature as a medium for reflection and inner peace. This includes the practice of tafakkur on nature, as encouraged in the Quran, as well as the Prophet’s (SAW) experiences in nature for inner tranquility. This study suggests that revelation-based ecotherapy can offer a holistic mental care model suitable for Muslims. Further studies are recommended to explore the application of Islamic ecotherapy in modern contexts, such as the role of specific natural elements, like water and plants, to enrich nature-based therapeutic concepts within the Islamic tradition.
