Reaching the Understanding of the Green Building Concept in Islamic Value: Thematic Tafseer Study

Abstract

This research is significant to fill the gaps in the development of green building concepts that give an emphasis to the technical strategies or solutions. This study used the thematic Quranic interpretation method (maudhu'i). It was done by collecting verses from the Quran related to the environment in general, specifically using quantitative content analysis. The result shows that there are two significant main categories stated for greenship based on thematic, mainly ASD and WAC. It reaches the most vital points. It is 56.1% points of ASD and 28.5% of WAC. It is expected that, by applying this approach, the green building concept will be much easier to be accepted, understood by human being as caliphs, and implemented as well as possible.

Challenges of implementing the green building concept in Mosques

“…For mosque, efforts to be pro-environment can be translated into site design concepts (Fikriarini, Larasati, and S. 2021) and building design. (Nurjayanti and Nugrahaini 2023).…”

“…(Nurjayanti and Nugrahaini 2023). Environmental support in building design can be exhibited by using eco-friendly materials (Nurjayanti and Nugrahaini 2023) and making effective use of water and energy (Fikriarini, Larasati, and S. 2021). It is possible to use passive or active energy-saving techniques in mosque buildings (Harsritanto et al 2021).…”
