Abstract
On behalf of the board of the Netherlands Special Branch of Nahdlatul Ulama (PCINU Belanda), it is my distinct honour to welcome you to the 4th Biennial International Conference, themed “Harmony in Turbulence: The Intersection of Faith, Climate Justice, and Global Peace.” This theme was chosen in recognition of the need to broaden current conversations on ecological crisis by highlighting the often-overlooked contributions of religion. Religious traditions offer profound ethical resources and inspire collective action that can strengthen our shared response to the ecological crisis. That is so because religious traditions offer wisdom that can restore the sacred and harmonious relationships between humanity and Nature, something that is almost totally broken in today’s world. From an Islamic perspective, the Qurʾān abounds with references to the cosmos—that is, to all created beings, including animals, the sun, the moon, the earth, and humanity—in which God has placed His āyāt (signs). Humanity, as God’s khalīfa (vicegerent) on earth (Q 2:30), is entrusted with the mandate to preserve and sustain creation so that it may continually serve as a perfect mirror reflecting the Divine. The Qurʾān repeatedly emphasises this cosmological dimension, reminding believers not to act wastefully or corrupt the earth (Q 6:141; Q 7:31), and affirming that God’s signs are manifest “on the horizons and within themselves” (Q 41:53). This Qurʾānic vision of the cosmos as a repository of divine signs has profoundly shaped Islamic cosmology, mystical thought, and Muslims practices. Sufi traditions, in particular, have elaborated on these scriptural motifs to develop symbolic frameworks that illustrate the intimate relationship between God, humanity, and the universe. Within this imaginative and theological horizon, the cosmos is not only perceived as a trust to be preserved but also as the “Great Human” (al-insān al kabīr) with a soul from the Divine through which divine realities are disclosed to the “Small Cosmos” (i.e., human as al-ʿālam al-ṣagīr).
