On the Risk of Transgressing the Balance of Natural Systems​

This topic discusses how natural systems operate within a dynamic equilibrium, and how human actions can disrupt this balance by exceeding ecological limits, including planetary boundaries. Such transgressions not only damage ecosystems but are also passed on across generations, creating long-term environmental and social consequences.

In response, the concept of regenerative development is presented as a way to restore balance (mīzān) by repairing and sustaining natural systems rather than exploiting them. The study proposes a holistic framework grounded in Maqāṣid al-Shariah, which integrates ecological responsibility and natural capital as essential components of Islamic ethical and legal objectives.

Overall, it highlights the need to embed environmental stewardship within the Maqāṣid framework to ensure sustainable development and intergenerational justice.
