Abstract
The concept of stewardship of the environment is not alien to Islam for many
verses in the Holy Quran speak of the Earth and all natural resources being a
gift from Allah to mankind and that man is a khalifah (trustee) of all these
divine gifts. The Quran also mentions that man will be tested in these gifts
thus, underlining the concept of accountability to Allah in the administration of
land and the environment generally. This paper seeks to identify and elaborate
on Islamic concepts relating to accountability of man in environmental
management and showing their relevance to contemporary governance and
administration. It will be demonstrated that there is rich Islamic jurisprudence
relating to environmental management that can be relied upon to create a
harmonious balance between development and conservation in environmental
management in the contemporary world today.
