About the Conference

The International Conference on Islamic Studies (ICIS) 2025 brings together scholars, researchers, students, and practitioners to engage in critical dialogue on the theme: “Islam, Environment, and Sustainability: An Ecotheological Perspective.” 

In an era where climate change, ecological degradation, and sustainability have become urgent global concerns, Islamic thought offers profound resources to reimagine our relationship with the environment. From the ethical principles of the Qur’an and Hadith, to the frameworks of Islamic jurisprudence, economics, and education, ecotheology provides a holistic lens for addressing today’s ecological crisis.

This conference will be held in a hybrid format (offline and online), allowing broad participation from across the globe.

This conference aims to:

• Explore the intersections of Islam, ecology, and sustainability.
• Highlight innovative approaches in Islamic education, law, and economics for environmental justice.
• Foster interfaith and intercultural dialogue on ecological responsibility.
• Build collaborative networks among academics and practitioners for sustainable futures

We invite you to be part of this important conversation and contribute your insights to shaping a greener and more just world through the richness of Islamic studies.

Call for Papers

The global ecological crisis has become one of the most pressing challenges of our time, demanding urgent responses across disciplines, faith traditions, and cultures. Islam, as a comprehensive way of life, offers profound ethical, spiritual, and legal foundations that can contribute to shaping a sustainable future. Eco-theology, which emphasizes the interconnectedness of faith, humanity, and the environment, provides a vital framework for rethinking Islamic studies in the context of climate change, environmental degradation, and the pursuit of sustainability.

The International Conference on Islamic Studies (ICIS) 2025 invites scholars, researchers, practitioners, and students to engage in meaningful dialogue on the theme: “Islam, Environment, and Sustainability: An Ecotheological Perspective.” This conference seeks to explore how Islamic thought, education, law, economics, and spirituality can address contemporary environmental challenges and foster a vision of sustainable living for future generations.
