Abstract

This study analyzes eco-anxiety among urban communities from the perspective of Prophetic hadith through the maqāṣid al-sharī’ah approach, positioning ecological anxiety as both a psychological and moral response to environmental crisis. The study employs qualitative library research with a thematic approach to hadiths concerning human trusteeship, leadership responsibility, planting, the prohibition of causing harm, removing disturbances from public spaces, and managing distress. Hadith analysis is conducted through the ma’ānī al-hadīth approach textually, intertextually, and contextually, then synthesized with literature on environmental psychology, mental health, urban green spaces, and Islamic environmental ethics. The findings show that eco-anxiety in urban communities is influenced by exposure to extreme heat, pollution, flooding, declining green spaces, ecological uncertainty, and digital information flows concerning the climate crisis. The hadith perspective does not regard such anxiety merely as spiritual weakness, but as an emotion that must be acknowledged, regulated, and directed toward ecological responsibility. The maqāṣid al-sharī’ah approach demonstrates that environmental protection is connected with ḥifẓ al-nafs, ḥifẓ al-’aql, ḥifẓ al-nasl, ḥifẓ al-māl, and ḥifẓ al-dīn. This study formulates a prophetic ecological resilience framework comprising emotional validation, ecological tabayyun, spiritual-psychological regulation, capacity-based action, collective efficacy, and urban ecological justice. The framework confirms that hadith can serve as an ethical source for transforming ecological anxiety from a paralyzing psychological burden into moral awareness, constructive hope, and proportionate corrective action. Its implication is that addressing eco-anxiety requires collaboration among individuals, religious communities, families, schools, health professionals, governments, and economic actors to reduce sources of risk while strengthening community resilience
