Abstract :
Natural resources and a healthy environment are among the most important issues in Islam and among the most essential human needs. From the point of view of Islam, polluting the environment and nature, which is a platform for the exaltation of the human soul as God's successor, is forbidden and considered one of the major sins, and it causes people to be far from God's mercy and forgiveness because of this disbelief. This issue is clearly stated in the Holy Qur'an and can be seen in the hadiths and the lives of the Imams (PBUH). In this research, an attempt has been made to give a brief overview of some of these verses and narrations in a classified manner and in the fields of water, soil, air, trees, etc. In order to clarify the views of Islam about the environment, it is divided into three separate categories, including the environment, the basis for human growth and excellence, environmental culture derived from the position of the divine caliphate of man, environmental conservation in Islam and in the lives of the Imams (PBUH). According to the investigated cases, correct and coherent planning in the direction of reviving the authentic Iranian-Islamic culture and developing religious rules and teachings about the real importance of nature, understanding God's original ownership of all natural resources, creating a spirit of saving, especially in the case of natural and national resources is a solution that can lead our society towards reasonable utilization of natural resources.
