Abstract

Green technology or clean technology is recognised as the application of environment science to conserve the natural environment and resources for the purpose of curbing the negative impact of human activities. In this paper, the correlation between management and green technology will be discussed and construed in accordance with Islamic perspectives. This paper explores the problems on how to implement green technology in management and the way to solve human activities that give negative impacts to the natural environment in the Muslim World. In addition, the comparison of waste disposal system management, the production of an electricity energy by renewable resources and wastewater management system are made between Islamic countries and non-Islamic countries. Islam urges humanity to be kind to nature and not to abuse the trust that had been placed on human shoulders. This finding includes both the authorities of the Quran and hadis which emphasize the accountability and responsibility of humans towards protecting and maintaining God’s balanced creation.
